Wow they both made violations, so they must be the same right?

Oh hezbollah just approached a border zone while Israel shot up a bunch of civilians. Oh yeah, both sides.

Your logic: "We've identified the problem is capitalism. Stop pointing at it and start pointing at something else, that'll solve it!"

Nope, but nice try trying to strawman me.

I'm talking about taking actual individual action to stop the problem instead of merely pointing fingers.

such as unionisation of workers, creation of socialist and dual power structures, and the eventual revolution.

Okay, so we've unionised the workers, how does that stop oil companies polution?

We have socialist dual power structures, how does that stop fossil fuel emissions?

We have """the revolution""" does that magically make fossil fuels go away?

My point is you can blame capitalism all you like, but at the very least in the short/medium term if we want to actually do something about climate change we need to change how we behave. As even under a socialist or communist system people will still use electricity, that will still be generated by fossil fuels.and people will still ship things in from other countries. And good luck pushing socialism in any major western country right now.

My point is, why do you think those oil and gas companies or big tech exist? Because there is a market for it because of consumer behaviour.

A profitable oil company is never going to just close itself down for the sake of morals. And even if they did, a different oil company is just going to take over their market share.

The only way we stop oil companies is by making them unprofitable, either through voting for legislators that will tax them or sanction them, or by taking away their demand.

And while your individual demand is tiny, the same as you single individual vote in an election. It won't have an affect by itself, but if lots of people band together we can make change.

And the first step of that is acknowledging it.
