If you think we all ought to reduce our pollution down to sustainable levels, and you haven't, then aren't we both hypocrites? I'm certainly not saying you can't discuss your strategy at all.
This purity testing and infighting are exactly what big oil wants. You keep appealing to social status - you do something, you care, you're no hypocrite, you inconvenience yourself - you're a virtuous good guy. And your neighbors, why if they won't list their sacrifices, then what business do they have suggesting the very well-studied solutions that can actually work based on a concept you just learned the name of.
I've been very clear about my point: we're all responsible and we should all make an effort. I even outright told you that you don't have to do everything at once, but grab the low hanging fruit.
And you're trying to tell me i'm suggesting you get yourself down to a sustainable level.
Yes, clearly saying you share some of the responsibility and we should all make an effort to do something, i'm requiring purity.
You can argue my point, do you're mindlessly attacking a strawman youve made up about me.
And who said anything about anyone not being able to offer up other solutions? Lol
Again, anything to avoid accepting any responsibility, doesn't even matter if it's even based on reality at all. You need me to be a bad guy because otherwise you might have to admit I have a point.
This but not sarcastic. Every time you bring it up is a distraction from collective action that works. Your efforts have been diverted.
100% honestly, you sound like a great person. But that shouldn't matter to the validity of a person's arguments, and your approach is counterproductive.
