One point I do have to agree with both here and with GoOnKid is that this discussion has kinda reached the point of being tiring and in danger of going toxic, so in the interest of my own mental health, which isn't in a good place at the moment, I'm going to call it quits here. |
Sure, but that doesn't mean we should have to force our own viewpoints on other people with differing viewpoints ...
It's no different to ideological brainwashing or propaganda ...

Similarly, I don't think you've considered the ramifications of some of the solutions to climate change which calls for cutting back on the means of production/consumption ...
We live in a very privileged age of abundance. Most people just want their new iPhones for the holidays even if it means selling/using dinosaur juice ...
No reason to support being 'green' since that just empowers the symbolism of certain fringe political parties for all the wrong reasons like I mentioned previously ...
It's not healthy being ignored by half of society because you're on a quest to demonize/dehumanize them for their so called 'wrongthink'. If you want to prove that you're 'right' so badly why don't you actually try convincing the other side of a realistic solution that they can get on board and back ? If you don't want being green to be seen as a political thing then the only way to do it is by reaching a true 'consensus' ...
