I’m really not trying to be a dick, but uhh… Look around? The world is literally on fire and efforts to put it out or even to stop pouring more gas on it are put down at every turn by capitalists in the never ending pursuit of more money for it’s own sake.

Let’s start here: are you a capitalist? Do you own any actual capital? I don’t mean your own house or car, that is personal property not private property or anything resembling the means of production.

I ask because many people consider themselves capitalist when really they are just workers who happen to own a bit of personal property, and they make themselves essentially useful pawns for actual capitalists.

And, if you’re not an actual capitalist, why are you so pro capitalism?

That’s way too simplistic. It’s not just big corporations that block each and every measure to mitigate climate change.

Ask a small home owner, or car owner, why they are against climate change measures. They will point out that their life would need to change, and that’s why.

Climate is fucked primarily because people are unwilling to look around the next corner. That corporations are the same is more a property of them being compromised of people rather than capitalism per se.

Capitalism would work with wind and solar parks just as well as with coal.
