    So buy one more day for us to have a revolution and end the pollution. If you have 1/100000000000000 the power of an oil CEO, and you still use that power polluting the environment for your own convenience, then what makes you better than them? That you would theoretically have done less damage if only your actions mattered a little more?

      If you want a revolution, then you need to get their hands bloody, and people are not willing to do that. I don’t blame them I’m not willing to either.

        Well I am. I’m participating in mutual aid and direct action orgs with the aim of assembling an apparatus for distributing weapons and committing insurrection against the government. Also I don’t drive a car or eat meat. My behaviours are designed to stop climate change at every level of action. You won’t engage in individual action, and you won’t engage in collective action, so what’s your big idea? Giving up? No thanks.

          I already recycle and walk as much as I can, but I unfortunately am not able to walk much due to where I live and an injury. The city close to where I live already has bike lanes and a fairly good public transit. It’s cool that you are an environmental terrorist and all, but I still don’t see what you or your armed group has done to stop or even slow down Exxon or companies like them.
