To be fair we’re far past the point of saving the Earth. We’ve doomed it way early on and luckily by the time the sun explodes or whatever I’ll be long dead.
No, we shouldn’t throw in the towel. That’s just giving up! We should actively pour fuel on our neighbour’s house fire and admire the pretty extra destruction it creates while we can. Immediate gratification is worth burning everyone’s house to the ground, including my own. /s
Sadly apathy is a common reaction to huge overwhelming problems. And it makes sense, emotionally distancing yourself from the suffering of others can be necessary to still function in horrible emergency situations like natural disasters. Unfortunately it also makes this problem, like many others, worse.
But we all do it, to different degrees. And it’s human. We can’t fix everything simultaneously. Those of us who are still able to empathise with strangers to some extent will have to do more work, or we become the problem too.
Sorry. This post isn’t targetted at you personally, I just am sad about the destruction of civilisations and the suffering people can inflict and this post came tumbling out. My coping mechanism is loud spontaneous complaining.
Not much I can do about it. I physically cannot force them to stop slave labor. Me not buying from them doesn’t change anything. 1 person not buying means nothing when 10 others will buy from regardless. I don’t worry about things I literally have no realistic control over. Whatever your opinion of me is on this is your choice. My life isn’t changed.
They’re useless trash that are polluting the planet

1 person not buying when 10 other people would do it anyway equals 10 sales instead of 11. It makes a difference.
Not really
