Have they asked Charles Koch and the other oil men to sit for this experiment? They should have a taste of the future they’re forcing us to endure.
Will not defend the oil men, they don't need it. But we're all complicit, quit your high horse and look around at all the plastics, electricity and fuel you're using in your day-2-day.
I know, I know, they're literally forcing you to do so. If you really wanted to remain pure, you'd have to act as the protagonist of the Brave New World, though, when he just ends up going to live in a secluded forest by himself.
C’mon mate, this is decades old fossil fuel industry propaganda - making people blame themselves for the mess they got us all into. There’s no benefit from beating ourselves up - as individuals we hold no power over the industry. We need to work together and build an organised movement if we want to change things, we can’t change our behaviour individually to change the system.
