I don’t need to tell myself anything. Barry (62) who thinks climate change isn’t real, has voted Tory consistently since he was 18 and would practically cum in his trousers at an excuse to be violent to any group of people the mail tells him are bad, tells me plenty.
Barry was never, ever going to do anything constructive no matter how we protest, so why waste effort trying to appease him?
Not literally that exact type of person. Like some people do believe in climate change and tell themselves they support the environmentalist cause, but have never gone to a protest, or written to their MP or voted around the issue and never will no matter how many protests that happen, or how many studies are published or videos putting it into layman’s terms. They just want to mostly ignore the issue, drive to work, drive home, put on love island and switch their brain off. Because actually doing anything about it is effort and their top priority is their own convenience.
The people who actually give enough of a fuck to do something/anything about this catastrophic issue isn’t going to throw a temper tantrum because their video games convention got interrupted for 30 seconds. Because if you ACTUALLY give a shit, the very idea of comparing complete ecological and societal collapse to 30 seconds of the most mild inconvenience imaginable is completely and utterly fucking ridiculous.
Keep telling yourself that. You set yourself to only preach to the fully converted.

And you’ve convinced yourself that everyone who disagrees with your approach is Barry apparently.
They aren’t.
