You speak as if we owned the means of production. The point of all these “it’s actually 100 million people who are at fault, not the 100 who actually make decisions” articles is so that responsibility is dissolved to a point of nonexistence and nothing gets done.
At this rate, blame the cows. Their farts are a very large part of climate change. If they didn’t fart, we’d be much better off.
Those cows exist because hundreds of millions of people eat cow meat, the 0.1% doesn’t force us to eat it.
Yes they do. A Big Mac is cheaper than it should be and people are struggling. For many, it’s cow meat (with PFAS to taste) or nothing.
My point is that you as a person, unorganised, has as much power as one cow in this system.
If all cows banded together, they could stop this. So could we. But we are prevented from doing so.
Unless it’s on a huge sale I never see beef for a lower price/weight than tofu. A BigMac costs more than making food at home so it’s pretty weird to use that as an example then saying that people are struggling financially.
I just farted when I giggled at this. I feel shame.
