Over what?

Are you upset by anything involving bears now?

Gee I wonder why

BS, it's not necessary at all

Anthropologists can look at a pile of skeletons and tell if it's before or after processed sugar.

Every time climate discussion comes up and i point out that we can do things to decrease their own impact

Yes, clearly saying you share some of the responsibility and we should all make an effort to do something, i'm requiring purity.

This but not sarcastic. Every time you bring it up is a distraction from collective action that works. Your efforts have been diverted.

100% honestly, you sound like a great person. But that shouldn't matter to the validity of a person's arguments, and your approach is counterproductive.

If you think we all ought to reduce our pollution down to sustainable levels, and you haven't, then aren't we both hypocrites? I'm certainly not saying you can't discuss your strategy at all.

This purity testing and infighting are exactly what big oil wants. You keep appealing to social status - you do something, you care, you're no hypocrite, you inconvenience yourself - you're a virtuous good guy. And your neighbors, why if they won't list their sacrifices, then what business do they have suggesting the very well-studied solutions that can actually work based on a concept you just learned the name of.

Anything to avoid having to do something.

Lazy activists amirite

That shit that we need to do now is outlined in that externality article solution section. We can't wait for other people to coordinate on defense for us.

Time spent on unilateral inconveniences is rival with time spent on systemic change, especially for a busy person like you. Trying to convince individuals one by one to reduce their carbon footprint simply doesn't work - that's why big oil popularized it.

Why? You're wasting everyone's time by even bringing it up. Punch up.

Right, and focusing on that personal responsibility is a waste of everyone's time.
