    Do you have a smartphone? Do you use social media, cloud services, streaming services, A.I. services?

      What an ass argument.

      “Helping a starving orphan is pointles, because you are not helping every starving orphan”

        You, as many others, are missing the point. It’s so easy to point fingers at everyone else and think that you are saving the environment by cutting down on meat and fossil fuels, while forgetting the invisible sinners. Most people don’t give their digital life a second thought because the environmental impact isn’t always obvious.

        And all of you biting my head of for stating this is just hilarious.

          You’re just wrong. First of all, I am making a lot of personal sacrifices. You can’t lob the hypocrite accusation at me, it’s laughable.

          But more importantly, this isn’t about individual choices but overcoming resistance to collective action. We should all move to a plant based diet, we should all stop flying for vacation, we should all pay way more taxes to reduce climate damage, but people aren’t ready to accept that yet. They’ll say climate change is bad and should be stopped, but the minute a politician proposes anything meaningful, they’ll be out of a job.

          And when you point out it’s going to be costly and people aren’t ready for that yet, some douchebag on the internet calls you a hypocrite

            “this isn’t about individual choices”

            Why are you doing it then?

      What the fuck

      I am willing to give all of that up, but you’re literally that “yet you participate in society” meme. This isn’t about me

      What are you getting at?

        I’m just saying, I know a hypocrite when I see one.

          You’re on lemmy right now, do you need a mirror or is your head already so far up your own ass you can see the hypocrite from the inside?
