#consumerblaming — Public Fediverse posts

Just an FYI: If you blame individuals (which are not #billionaires) on the #ClimateCrisis I will ask you to leave the #ClimateJustice instances. We don't do this here.

Don't get me wrong: It's good if individuals do "their part" in tackling the climate crisis, by changing their habits and lifestyles, but blaming them, when its clearly the #capitalist system's fault is just wrong.

Be #vegan, consume sustainably, ride your #bike, don't fly.
There are many good reasons to do so, e.g.:
👉 it's the right thing to do
👉 it's healthy
👉 you're a role-model for others
👉 if many people do this, it slightly changes how companies act.
👉 it fosters your awareness for the issues

But also be aware that its a droplet on a hot stone. Non-wealthy individuals won't fix the climate with their daily choices. We have to *demand* action by the big players.
And I don't mean blame China!
All of us need to demand radical climate action by our governments.

So please:
✊ #protest
✊ #strike
✊ #unionize
✊ #block
✊ #sabotage peacefully

We can do this together! I know we can.

#ConsumerBlaming is #VictimShaming
