You always make sense, and not only that, you write in a logical, clear and well thought out way that i can never manage. I have post envy right now. I'm glad I didn't read yours first or I wouldn't have written! I totally agree - the haters don't make sense, because *it doesn't matter* in the broader scheme of things. Stop attacking people in *general* is probably the way to go, and just focus on what you can do personally. Hate never got us anywhere - self reflection, education and deep thinking is a much better way to go. 'They're hypocrites, end of' simply doesn't fly with me. Pun intended.

Awww, thanks for your kind words. And don't worry about post envy. Your posts are also full of deep thought, which you manage to explain rationally, even in a way that's readable and entertaining. So it's all good. And yes, I agree that attacking people for any reason is super weak, especially if whoever does it won't even do as much. The Greta example illustrates it perfectly: Some random dude criticizes her supposedly high-footprint yacht. To the question what he has done for the climate in comparison, the answer is something like "oh, but I'm not an eco-warrior." Exactly!

You're right, the biggest problem is that people don't see what's at stake. Otherwise even the most selfish people would stop focusing on themselves.

Excellent approach, @stortebeker. Certainly, everything becomes a media scandal that brings nothing

This is one of the best stances I’ve read about eco-activism. Although, I think Greta is only a puppet of a bigger agenda. The rest is dead on.

@artemislives ·
I loved the perspective of your brave BBQ man.  And the perspective you were about to give..  Yes, it is the EXPLOITATIVE SYSTEMS we need to be looking at, and how much power we have to change those.  Which means being political and maybe not hanging out in an eco-village somewhere.  

Should we even be having this discussion on the blockchain when it consumes so much energy?  Or are we just drowning in LACK MENTALITY and over-focused on what we perceive to be the finiteness of things?

I agree, though I think building and maintaining an eco-village one IS being political, as by living a certain lifestyle one is taking a stance for everything that's part of that life.

Of course it's a political act to deselect & model a new paradigm.  But it doesn't egage with or change the political systems which control the big environmental issues destroying our planet.

Brilliantly written! I have really enjoyed the way you annalized it and gave a dipper insight on the subject. Sometimes there is more than meets the eye and things are more significant than they seem and sometimes things are just being taken out of proportion.
