    I don’t think we’re agreeing or disagreeing, because I agree with everything you said.

    However - once you realize all of that, I believe you are also culpable of your own personal contributions.

    It is not an “Us or them”, it is both. I admit it’s 90% them, but there is some fraction that is ours as well, and for my house, I am very happy that (except for the waterheater), completely carbon neutral.

    I won’t hold it against anyone for having a gas car when they were under the spell, but I definitely hold it against them if their next purchase is another gas guzzler, or gas stove, or gas furnace, because they are happily giving money to the oil companies.

      It is not both. It’s them, full stop. Punishing the working class for not making more sacrifices on top of those their use of power has already forced on us is you further serving their interests. Stop being a class traitor and abusive toward your fellow victims. We are not the problem and not solution. They are.

        If you think I’m a “class traitor” for suggesting instead of buying a gas water buying an electric then there is nothing more I can say to you. Holy fuck.
