[QUOTE="Doublestandards, post: 6050932, member: 110123"] Ricky I agree with you a ton, but one of my biggest criticisms of the left is lack of self personal responsibility So often the left wants the government to do everything and they take no blame in their part of society or their individual problems I’ll see all the time on reddit people complaining about climate change and the government needs to fix it, but when you point actions they take that contribute to climate change, they say catchy phrases like “there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism”. They’ll bring up climate change, and if you mention them driving cars and eating a bunch of meat, which are the two biggest contributors to climate change, suddenly it’s not their fault it’s the corporations But these corporations are just providing services that we pay for. Society has to change from individuals demanding the change. We can’t just wave a wand and have the government fix everything. Individuals are society This opinion will not be popular because people on here and the right don’t believe in climate change, so it’s not a good example for this site, but it is what it is These corporations aren’t just producing pollution for the fun of it. They’re supplying services that we are paying for, and until that slows down significantly or stops, they’ll keep doing it.
