  • Its true that the economy of scale to reduce emissions is at the factories and such, but the point of the other things on a personal level are important; largely because they instill a culture of caring about the matter. For example, for better or worse, the marine corps puts a lot of emphasis on the proper wearing and display of the uniform, so the consequence is that it is taboo to not shave or have unshined shoes. If you are the only one in a party using a plastic straw or the only one rolling coal; you’ll be more than a sore thumb; you’ll be shunned at a deeper level and by the wider community not just environmentalists.

    No one is even saying no beef, but we are saying reduction in it. That statement is not only a false dichotomy, but preventing a real start to our movements.




  • But I do think our standards have been lowered to the point where “not a nazi shitbag” is going to put him in the upper echelon.

    I agree, but in many places lesser evil is the best we can do. I think if one lives in a red state then we need to vote as much as we can to minimize harm. If we live in a blue state we need to vote for the most progressive dem in primaries to start the shift away from corporate dems. In pretty much every election from the last 30 years non voting has been the biggest voter block.

    Protesting is important too, but we need to follow up the energy and vote as well. Otherwise we are saying that we care a lot about something, but not enough to go all the way with our complaint.
