      If you don’t reject your parent and their blood/exploitation resources as soon as you become an adult, you inherit the blood on their hands.

      No quarter for the oligarch families that caused and benefitted from this.

    There’s nothing i can do personally? Thats literally the problem.

    People supporting businesses that ruin the environment is the problem. Sure its not our responsibility, the government needs to make changes but until then stop eating animal products, stop flying, driving car etc.

    Vote with your wallet, thats the only thing they listen to.

    • I think corporations’ efforts to shift the view of responsibility from a collective goal to an individual one is one of the biggest problems we face. Individual action is almost never as impactful as collective action. While labor is told to take personal responsibility on individual issues, capital works collectively to consolidate power and amass more wealth. Individuals cannot shift that by themselves. “Vote with your wallet” will never lead to the substantial structural changes we desperately need.

        Agreed

        Individual action is almost never as impactful as collective action.

        Here in Germany we have a saying:

        Was kann einer dagegen ausrichten? Fragte sich die halbe Menschheit.

        Which roughly translates to:

        What can a single person change? Half the population asked themselves.

    The prospect of making kids in this planet is surreal to me. I will not condemn my kids to life I’ve had. It will be better anywhere they are now, even if they don’t exist. I would also like to not exist, but that’s whole other matter.

    Having kids is great. Don’t believe all the horror stories.
