    And the worst part is, average citizens like yourself aren’t a massive burden on the environment. It’s people like Elon Musk flying personal jets across the world for dinner, who are actively contributing to the death of the planet.

      The jets are bad but what is worse are the handle full of billionaires and csuite execs who have the money and power to decide company policies and bribe politicians and governments: lobbying, independent expenditures, gala dinners, super pacs, incentives, revolving doors, private fundraising, paid speeches; to look the other way so they can pollute however much they want.

      Nothing is Ethical under Capitalism.

      Social Democracy is better but still exports the suffering to the global south.

      Workers of the world must unite to over come the absolute insanity of the capital class.

      Sorry but this is not true at all. Your regular average citizen demands products whose production, transportation, and disposal is responsible for massive amounts of emissions.

      If you buy cheap Chinese shit off Amazon, or Big Macs, a new phone every year, you’re part of the problem.

        1. Be big business
        2. Spend decades chasing profits using any means necessary.
        3. Make so much money that the average person can barely get by.
        4. Sell them the cheapest shit possible that they have no choice but to buy cause they’re poor as fuck.
        5. Have morons on the internet blame the average person instead of greedy corporations/billionaires/government.
        6. ???
        7. Profit!
