    We cannot win against these people. They don’t care, they won’t be convinced to care and anything we do is made moot by their overall actions.

    We absolutely can win against these people. It’s our choice to buy their products. If people stopped just saying “the rich should do this, because they are the ones to blame”, and actually start thinking who they buy from, the problem with rich assholes would disappear. Our apathy must end, and it never will end if we just go “it’s the rich, what can I do?”

    It’s a bit like in the Russia: “It’s the politicians, what can I do?”, whereas elsewhere people do care about politics and things are much better than in the Russia. You won’t have agency if you volunteer to give it away.

    We are the majority. It’s our planet. We can fix the shit very fast whenever we just get our heads off our asses. It infuriates me when I see people merrily buying Nestlé products, for example. WHY do they do it? Are they idiots or what?
