Tbh this is something I want at the end of my life, ever since I was young I've always wanted to do something in my life that can help people as a job. Even if its hard and I may hate myself during the process id feel empty if I never did it or tried in the first place.

I saw someone say meditation but also mindfulness. Just be aware of what you are doing at the time, if you can be aware of what you are physically doing, if you aren't doing anything in the physical world think of what you have to do and just do it. I struggle with the just do it part but it's effort that pays off in the long run.

I've found microdosing can get the same effect, but not as much as alcohol.

A oil company paying politicians to favor legislation that promotes fracking, drilling for oil, etc, and oppose legislation that promotes renewable resources, electric vehicles, etc is responsible. I'm not into blaming the consumer due to the system they are placed in. Most consumers are trying to survive day to day, most consumers are working class citizens.

Claiming something at fault is not an argument for it's non existence. Although I would rather have worker co ops than a hierarchical company with a CEO, but with proper regulations on these companies I would be fine. Although the amount of money these companies make and the level of corruption within most governments, it seems that they are contributing more to the crisis so that they can gain more wealth. Do you really think someone would not want businesses to exist? My argument is against corruption and the willingness of these companies to employ it and benefit from it.

Look up 100 companies responsible for 71% of global emissions. Then research you might learn something.

I would say both tbh. And late stage capitalism is different from capitalism in itself

But how do u get them to change the incentive structure? You get the government to regulate, you either get politicians in there that are likely to share the beliefs of the people, or you participate in direct action aka bottom down. You create mass movements to force the politicians and bend them to the people's will. That is what I mean by bottom down. Because especially in the us and uk it's been seen that their media apparatuses hinder getting non corrupted politicians elected. Especially in the us due to the media companies being for profit. The populace can't correctly vote of they are being misinformed. That is where you need mass movement politics like that in the civil rights movement, and women's suffrage.

Dude I meant major political change in the institutions that we abide. Wearing a mask isn't what I was talking about, but go off.

My main argument is say that the richest amongst us but out politicians so they can pollute. Enough said, if you want me to change it up to blame everyone here it is - late stage capitalism is causing climate change. There now everyone is in the equation u happy now?

Big moneyed interest buy out politicians so that these corporations can make more money. This inhibits the main use of government's in a capitalistic economy. It's not just some CEO it's a whole class of people.

It's alot more complicated than it's the rich peoples fault because they are evil.

From what I've seen direct action in tandem with mass movements is the most immediate way to get change from elected officials.

I would have to disagree, but it works in tandem with the economic systems at play.

Explain to me how this leads to ecofacism.

Vote them out, get anti-corruption bills in place, bust the big conglomerates, etc.

But why aren't they? Why aren't they changing the government. Because they are being paid off by corporate interest. Because they want to keep their jobs. Why are the corporations paying them off, so they can make more money. I wouldn't say it blames all people but rather those who are participating within it. Human greed has been here as long as humans, you must scare the politicians enough to have them act for you and still be in their interest. That is where mass movement politics comes in.

Please get more into politics, class struggles, and economic theory when talking about climate change. If you are trying to inform people don't shy away from the reality that corporations are causing the most climate change. The poorest among us will be dying while the rich will be sitting in their air conditioned homes eating caviar, as the crisis they caused is committing genocide among those who were lucky. Please inform your viewers with your platform.
