stepanWeight of personal choices in fighting climate change
PowerCrazyIndustry propganda around the climate is not “Beautiful.” Don’t spread bullshit like this.
KyvalMeh, and I'll get downvoted to hell for this but getting people to care about an issue is the only way to bring about real change. Showing how they could actually make a difference, no matter how small, on their own power is the first baby step in the process. If this is anti-climate propaganda, it is an absolutely terrible choice that has and continues to backfire. If I was a corporate propagandist, I'd be telling everyone how they cant do anything about it so why try.
People are acutely aware of climate change, but our current form of government doesn’t give people a voice in systemic issues. Propaganda like this doesn’t inform anyone, it blames them.
That's exactly the response that I'd be going for as a pro-oil propagandist: Nothing you can do matters! The government (the only entity that can rein in these corps though regulation) won't listen to you so don't even bother to vote!
People who pay attention to their carbon footprint are much, much more likely to vote for candidates that support climate change infinitives. Many don't see it as blaming themselves, but as a roadmap on how to do things better. Again, everyone starts somewhere. For many people, that starting point is their own impact, how ever so small.
No, people who pay attention to their carbon footprint are more likely to be liberals and vote blue no matter who. “I must vote harder, the Democrats are always right.” Which ultimately is exactly what propaganda like this wants you to do. This type of green washing encourages that kind of thinking. “The solution can only be found within the system, it cannot be the system that is the problem, only my interaction with it.”
