My point is more that this is like someone arguing that a person should stop spilling their drink of the floor of the titanic while it’s sinking.
This doomer attitude will get us nowhere, it drags everyone into apathy and indifference. Your politicians like you like that. But every decimal warming counts. Please give meaning to your existence and stand for something. Not because your impact is so great, but because it's the right thing to do. Don't just roll on your back and give up just because you like cheese too much.
Just like all the companies that told us we need to recycle more rather than they having to change anything they were doing. You’ve got an agenda, that’s fine but maybe be a little more circumspect in delivering it.
Oh I want corporations to pay for what they do to us and our childrens lifes! And I agree recycling is (mostly) a scam. But stop eating animals is not a distraction from systemic change, it fuels it. Animal Agriculture is a vile industry build on exploitation and destruction, the evidence is only a click away if you dare to look at it. And you, Lobotomo, pay this industry daily to keep going. Destroying ecosystems, polluting communities, exploiting workers, killing sentient being by the billions. You could exclude your family from this today, but you deliberately choose not to. I'm asking you to take the most obvious babystep out of the global suicide machine. It's a big FUCK YOU to Corporate Farming as well and everybody likes that. :)
I know it's not the solution, I'm not an idiot. Please keep fighting, you can do both! But no solution will be enough without us changing what we eat.
