  • yes we get it you're a conservative, you don't have to prove it by continuing to try to twist facts to match your predetermined worldview

  • Empathy can absolutely develop over time. This rhetoric is not useful. Even dumb fucking right wing pieces of shit feel empathy when their in-group is affected.

    If hate can be learned so can empathy, what you're suggesting is dehumanizing

  • It's not the job of the rest of us to coddle fragile men. I'm saying this as a man. Grow up.

  • I'm with you that the economic system is the root cause of the problem and I'm fighting that battle too in my own way. I have too much to lose to really fight it, but there's a lot more direct action and community involvement I could be doing. Ideologically, though, I'm anti-capitalist and believe that the way forward is collectivism in the form of anarcho-communism.

    That's a lot harder to achieve than going vegan, though.

  • fair enough, no shortage of problems from the wealthy and capitalism at large.

  • Behavioral economics isn't how we allocate our resources, it's a correction of classical economics to include the human factor. The assumption that everyone is a perfectly rational profit optimizer only reflects reality insofar as we've codified that behavior into our laws and regulations such that shareholders can sue companies for not acting in that assumed way.

    The kind of economics people take as science don't describe human populations throughout history.

  • I am not the one making excuses about individual climate action. I take individual climate action. I'm vegan, I am electrifying my house, I have consistently reduced my consumption. I aim for a lifestyle that would scale up to the whole world.

    If you think we need to eliminate the wealthy or nothing is worth doing, then do the thing you think is worth doing. I'm doing plenty, I'm not the one making excuses.

  • The question isn't whether others are doing more harm than you, the question is whether your lifestyle would scale up such that if everyone lived like you, would we be sustainable?

    Yours is the small scale version of the Canadian and American excuse that China emits more in absolute numbers despite being much better than us per capita.

    Stop making excuses, take personal action.

  • an empathetic society is a cooperative society, a socialist society.

    capitalism is completely indifferent to the human factor, competition is about few winners and many losers. unemployment is desirable, poor people must be allowed to die.

    people think economics is a science but it doesn't consider human nature, "everyone tries to maximize their personal profit" isn't an anthropological statement it's capitalism restated.

  • If someone is beating the shit out of you and someone else is pissing on your face, assuming you're not into it, would you say it's not worth stopping the guy beating on you because you'll still be pissed on?

  • if you think the problem is capitalism and rich people why not put your efforts towards that instead of recycling? Instead, you just want an excuse to do nothing.
