Well then get a pre-transition trans woman to be pope. That’s a male girl. Then give her estrogen and see what happens
And when I pointed out how they benefit from pollution, the next one said benefiting from pollution was participating in society.
You buy chicken feed?
That chicken feed grown on farmland that used to be woodland and is now sprayed with pesticides to increase yield?
Is it shipped to the store on diesel trucks?
I don’t want to judge you, this isn’t about any one person. It’s about how all of us are part of the system. We all benefit and we all suffer from it. No ethical consumption under capitalism.
I joined this conversation replying to someone who said they don’t benefit from the capitalist pollution system. They do, I do, you do. None of us is independent.
Sooner or later we’re going to have to give up these capitalist luxuries. Only then can we experience the riches of socialism. They won’t be the same riches. We’re going to need to change.
I’m too poor to eat out. If anyone richer than me is making the poverty argument for why they can’t go vegan, they can kiss my ass.

My other comment is beside the point. The person I’m replying to is literally arguing that they don’t participate in society.
You should move to a mixed use walkable neighbourhood.
You should learn more vegan recipes.
You should buy durable goods and learn how to maintain them.
Doing these things will make your life better in many ways. And you’re going to have to do them anyway after the revolution comes and bans oil and habitat destruction.
And I don’t want to hear the poverty argument. Rice, beans, pasta, bread, and potatoes are the cheapest foods. Not meat. Get your protein from legumes and your B12 from tablets, it’s cheaper. I bought a sewing kit for 3 dollars and hair scissors for 7. Now I buy less clothes and no haircuts.
The lifestyle of fast cars, red meat, and cheap junk is convenient and fun, it’s not responsible. Choose responsibility. Don’t pay oil barons thousands of dollars for garbage you don’t need.
If you don’t personally benefit from pollution, then junk your ICE, never eat meat again, and stop buying plastic crap.
(You should do all those things anyway, but I’m making a point here)
Corporations benefit if people think climate change can be solved with individual action, because they won’t organise.
Corporations benefit if people think climate change can be solved without individual impact, because they won’t change society.
We all need to work together and we’re all gonna make sacrifices. It has to be both. One or the other are both corpo propaganda.
Mine the data for microanalysis of social trends and use it to influence elections through subliminal messaging.
I want to powerwash that hallway.

Yeah what if I’m naked and my tits are out? I don’t wanna accidentally show the waiter my tits because an app decided to turn on my camera without asking
