IMO: I've done my fair share. I'm on my 3rd Honda Civic since '98. Have had a reusable grocery bag for at least 10 years.
I'm done with any more "activism" behavior.
What the heck kind of Martin Luther King Honda Civic are you driving?
Anyway, my point was that you should set reasonable goals for yourself and celebrate them, because they are good. Like I'm a vegetarian, and I'm trying to reduce my milk product consumption. It's all part of living a happy, healthy life, not being part of negative cycles or thought processes.
I'm very happy with real milk for my breakfast cereal and a yummy steak when I want.
How would you feel as the price of steak and milk goes up? Would you vote to artificially limit prices? Would you vote to give corporations which make meat more money so they could give you cheaper beef? Heck, those prices are already subsidised by the government. Would you vote to remove those subsidies?
IDGAF. I'll drink milk & eat meat as long as I don't find it too expensive.
I'm well aware of farm subsidies. Don't agree and then if prices rise above my comfort zone... so be it.
So two follow up questions:
So you don't actually give a fuck and just want to continue as usual while shouting "corporations tho!"
Why not do what's right without having it forced on you by regulation?
I'm not doing anything wrong. Zero guilt. I'll certainly blame corporate and govt.
You don't think directly funding animal abuse and climate destruction is wrong?
Nope
That's a pretty fucked stance to have
Get off your high horse. You're luck you're not a penguin. I'd pluck you and throw you on the grill.
