Feeling guilty every time we can’t be perfect environmentalists isn’t sustainable. For a safer climate, we don't need to get every action right, but we do need to understand the greater scope of the crisis.
When you’re poor, then you already have a very low co2 footprint. Your cousin is kind of an idiot to be honest. Giving up is one thing, but then she decides to actively work for someone who makes the world worse.
Accelerationism. Purposely make the world as bad a place as possible until enough people are fed up that the violent uprising finally occurs and the system gets torn down.
My cousin was a big environmentalist. Then she got educated on the world. She gave up and works for Chevron.
She says unless people stop buying garbage products, it’s not going to change.
As a minimalist, I agree. They stop making things you don’t buy.
But ironically, being minimalist means I am privileged to do so because I can afford to avoid things of low quality.
But when you’re poor, you have no choices.
What a world.
