It's an appeal to futility to say that you shouldn't do the good you can because you can't do the good you want to.
A world with no billionaires and no cars that still supports the industrialized slaughter of billions of sentient beings for the sensory pleasure of a privileged minority is still an evil place. That's billionaire shit, right? Profiting off of the suffering of countless others who are trapped in a system that exploits them?
Sure, the climate needs systemic change and one person can't stop it, but do you think people who aren't even willing to change their own lives are gonna change the whole system? Of course not. The first step is finding your courage and changing yourself. Then you work your way outwards and build community and then movements and then you change the system.
