@silence7 yeah the part about the orchestrated campaign against them is spot on

But also: it's a lot easier to "distrust" someone who is saying something you don't want to hear

@stabby_cicada I think the witchy solarpunk novel I'm reading right now fits pretty well with this (but I need to go read the article!)

"The Working" by @BrightFlame

we shouldn't promote individual responsibility *instead* of corporate accountability. we should promote individual responsibility *because it leads to* corporate accountability in c/solarpunk@slrpnk.net

@stabby_cicada The rich (people, countries) are the ones who pollute the most... they should be the first to decarbonize (because they can afford it) and they should help pay for everyone else to decarbonize. *Everyone* can help pressure corporations/politicians (with pressure campaigns and votes) to decarbonize at scale, to develop a climate plan for your local school/government, to demand better regulation of pollution.

It's ALL OF THE ABOVE that needs to happen. As fast as possible.

Right now, could you prepare a slice of toast with zero embodied carbon emissions? in c/green@lemmy.ml

@ajsadauskas @green Fossil fuel companies are terrified we'll work together to change what's socially acceptable—the rich will be shamed out of their yachts, EVs will be mainstream, local governments will outlaw housing gas hookups. They fight this propaganda & greenwashing (& "carbon footprint" rhetoric). The rich (people, countries) have a moral obligation to help the poor transition to a just, green economy... but we don't "wait around" for that to happen. We force it to happen by organizing.
