    There is no “hook” though. We shouldn’t be fighting against each other.

    Every person has a different level of personal sacrifice for the greater good that they are ok with. It is completely fine to be selfish. If that means that we’re fucked as a species, then that’s what that means.

    If we militantly blame people for still eating animal products for example, it’ll just create hostilities that are further entrenching the sides. Instead we need to push to compromises, everywhere. Make animal products more expensive, using the tax or whatever to offset their carbon impact. People that still want to buy it can buy it. Or say it’d be best to not eat animal products, but if that’s too hard, how about just a little less, however much is acceptable.

    It’s not optimal, absolutely true, but it has a much higher chance of working.

      It is completely fine to be selfish.

      It’s completely legal usually…

      Absconding from moral duties, completely fine?

      Suppose “fine“ has to be clarified

        Can you honestly say that you sacrifice everything for the environment? Have as little/positive carbon footprint as in any way possible?
