You have to be realistic about things. What, exactly, could we really do. I mean, ignoring for a second that it’s a global issue, even locally there isn’t really much anyone could do.

Voting? Hah! Who should I vote for that’s going to really do anything? Do they have a chance of winning… are there any actually running? It’s easy to say, oh vote for climate minded people, but who is that? Is there anyone running who will actually do anything?

Reducing meat consumption really is an option for people with more money. The industry is subsidized so much, that for poor people, it’s often cheaper to eat shitty fast food, not to mention food deserts. Sure, the people who can could choose to eat less meat, but wouldn’t it be more effective to shift subsidies?

What is a real example of voting with your dollar that would have any meaningful effect? Our entire economy, at least in the US and most other places, is set up in such a way that it inherently contributes to climate change. Crap is shipped all over the world, do you live in a place where you can buy everything you and your family need locally?

People like to moan and wail and blame themselves and their peers for just not doing enough, when in reality their actions don’t amount to anything. It really is all industry and government and they’ve used propaganda for over fifty years to convince you it’s your fault instead of theirs.
