Mfs be blaming the corporations when they are the ones using their money to tell the corporations what to do. Of you want corporations to stop destroying the environment, don’t buy products that were made via environmental destruction. Vote with your money, not with your memes.
Unless you go live in a forest and grow your own food, your money will always end up in the hands of one of a dozen or two people.
Pretending you can solve systemic problems with individual action is exactly the kind of lazy thinking you were taught to make sure you never threaten the system you're nothing but a dispensable cog in.
You're not as clever or edgy as you think you are, you are literally licking the boot that is standing on your neck and think it's a treat.
This is right. Of course we should take individual action. I have a set of things I regularly do. That doesn't change the fact that overall, people will choose the course of least resistance: the wasteful goods and services provided by corporations. At the same time, corporations will generally not self correct. They'll always choose the course of highest profit. Bottom line: if we are concerned for the future of our home, we must demand changes in corporate behavior through policy and regulation.
