I hate this messaging because it’s so myopic and self centered. There’s no call to action and no appeal other than to yourself and your immediate future.
“It” is going to destroy everything I love? No, the system that produced much of what I love is destroying itself. Can I personally stop that? No. Can we collectively change the inevitable outcome that the post describes? No.
Those are the facts, now let’s grow up and stop wallowing in our self pity. What can we do? What can we mitigate? Are there extreme measures that are possible today that can soften the landing for future generations?
“But my consumer choices don’t blah blah blah…” fuck that, set an example. Stop eating meat, reduce your resource consumption, start caring for the natural environment in your reach. If such simple stuff is too great a sacrifice then just off yourself and make things easier for the rest of us.
If you’re upset that a handful of corporations are 90% culpable for this, make them 99%. Then never stop pointing that out to others sharing your sacrifice. Find strength in that unity.
Things will change, it won’t be an uphill battle forever. Any apocalyptic events will overturn the human systems that incited them; the human population will be culled to levels that can be sustained. You have the power to guide that no matter how apathetic and powerless you feel.
If you’re upset that a handful of corporations are 90% culpable for this, make them 99%. Then never stop pointing that out to others sharing your sacrifice. Find strength in that unity.
And importantly, realize that corporations are not 100% responsible. So many people think it’s 100% corps and that their individual actions, even in rich consumerism driven countries have no impact
