    Not really. If we’re living at or below a standard that is attainable for us all, then we’re not part of the problem.

    We don’t have to go off into the woods or subsistence farm. That’s a distraction put by the ruling class for useful idiots to believe so they think it’s all-or-nothing.

    Magnitude matters. Just because you have more doesn’t mean you need to spend more, and that’s what the people you’re defending are doing.

    That said, I live a very modest life in a very modest area. I could spend more, if I wanted to. I could make more if I took more advantage of others. I choose not to because that would make me part of the culture we should be trying to change.
