    Never said I was better than anyone else. Although I try to be better than average on a daily basis.

    But the problem lies in the fact that people want to elected leaders alone to make the change for them, while having no involvement in that change other than a vote.

    The elected leaders we have are nothing but a reflection of who we are.

    The system is a refection of our habits.

    Apathy doesn’t accomplish anything. Action does. Action other than no kings protests and bitching online. Action than voting for the same capitalist politicians who only care about attaining power and increasing their wealth.

    You want things like climate change action? Animals rights? Become the change agent yourself by looking at your daily consumption habits.

    What everyone has been doing doesn’t work.

    Also, you don’t have to be above moral reproach to make a moral criticism of society. I could be a murderer and still speak the truth. If no one wants to hear it, 🤷‍♂️

      Then why are you currently bitching online and being apathetic?

        I’m not just doing that. You know nothing of my life or habits.

        You realize I can make the same assumption about you? I would hope you’re doing something constructive about addressing your own habits of consumption.

        Are you vegan? That’s one change everyone can make that serves the planet and works towards of the elimination of exploitation of sentient beings for profit. It’s also a great thing for the planet. If not, why not?

        Do you reject giving money to Amazon, Target, driver delivery services? Do you try to cut back your consumption of unnecessary consumer goods to a bare minimum, always aiming to do better all the time? If not, why is that?
