Millennial here too... I blame myself for everything, including climate change. Everything I (can) buy is wrapped in plastic. Everything I (can) consume produces CO2. Every step I take, every breath I make... I'm killing earth.
I have a lot of self hate and can understand anyone who hates my generation. At least it ends with me. Who ever thinks kids are a good Idea must be completely insane.
How about it's not your fault that there isn't a alternative to a more eco friendly product, because it's the politicians fault, we elect politician's and they have almost all of them a green Policy. But that's just on paper, they will really never do anything that hurt the economy and corporate profit. We vote on policy and they won't implement it, the only thing you are responsible for is holding your politicians to account, but yeah keep blaming yourself for the shit that you have no control over and live in apathy
Whoa whoa. Never said I hated myself. That doesn't solve anything. If anything it makes things worse by stealing focus. More like realizing that this isn't working. We need to fix the system instead of letting people distract us with plastic straws or playing the blame game
The system can only be fixed by violence. I am no violent guy but billionaires have to die... all of them or we don't even have to start.
I keep on trying to fix little things, but I don't think that I can do enough... even remotely compared to the destruction their greed brings.
I'm out.. no kids, no blame, it's more CO2 than anyone can save. And honestly,... it's the kids of the other people who will die in the climate wars. I simply don't care any more until real change happens.
Edit: Humanity will prevail. Sooner or later even with a technological state as today or way more advanced... it just will take a few 100 more years for the remaining few to build this solar punk future. I'm just sad I'm living now and not when all this capitalism BS already died ages ago.
