@yeahiknow3@lemmy.dbzer0.com i feel like this podcast more successfully tries to convey what i tried to say, so you might give it a listen
True. Pollution is not the result of individuals failing to sacrifice — that’s called the Plight of the Commons. It’s the result everyone collectively failing to sacrifice (regulate and share and conserve resources).
Believe me, if I was in power I would absolutely depredate Wall Street. I’d take them for every penny they have to clean up the planet. There would be no billionaires left. Every corp would be owned by the workers.
But our argument wasn’t about policy. It was about morality. And it doesn’t take a long conversation with the average American voter to realize they’re a fucking immoral imbecile.
ah well, to each their own then
I appreciate your effort to combat my cynicism. lol. Thanks.
