They literally conspired to make the entire country not only dependent on their products, but did so knowing the harm those products caused to both the people and environment. The majority of the blame rests there and pretending that any amount of “personal responsibility” needs to be addressed is just so fucking stupid and self-defeating that it practically borders on sabotage. Let’s get mired in blaming each other for our own minuscule, largely involuntary contribution while they keep filling their pockets with our blood.
you’re right dude, the snowflake has all the agency here. not the storm that created it, nor the wind that blows it around. if only it would melt itself then the energy consumed by phase transition would cool the earth in an imperceptibly small way, bringing us that much further away from global warming catastrophe. really, it’s the snowflakes’ fault for selfishly getting frozen in the first place.
Our own minuscule largely involuntary contributions sum up to 20 million barrels of oil per day (in the US) 10 million per day (in the EU) and 17 million (in China).
If you think paper straws and electric cars are going to save the environment you’re part of the fucking problem. It’s not enough, and it was never going to be. They knew it wouldn’t be when they came up with these things which is why these are the measures that are allowed to be taken. Laws and subsidies that would actually help are instead lobbied out of viability. So we’re left with electric car subsidies making Elon Musk the richest asshole in history and paper straws making everyone hate environmentalism while we still hurtle toward annihilation.
Lick those oil exec boots just a little harder and I’m sure they’ll send you an invite to the pedo party.
nobody said oil executives are somehow blameless or ok, it’s just funny to shift literally all blame away from you

Said the snowflake in the blizzard.
You have part of the power. If you are willing to coordinate there will be enough power to change all relevant things.

Then you are one ray of light that helped to create the pressure difference that caused the storm.
You have free will. You have the power to make change a bit bigger.

I don’t think Musk alone is consuming that…
OP is pointing out that most Americans are licking oil exec boots.
Do you have a car with an internal combustion engine? Bootlicker.

Oil execs are rich, but they aren’t consuming 20 million barrels of oil per day by themselves.
