MODERATORS
We need information, math, data that distinguishes between:
A) tragedy of the commons--you doing it yourself won't make a difference, but everyone doing it will, so you doing it yourself makes a difference, and
B) the change is so minuscule that even if everybody in the world did it, it still wouldn't move the needle.
Everything in B should be replaced with "clobber billionaires and coporations and governments", but nothing from A gets misplaced in B.
I think its pretty obvious what "everyone" needs to do.
We all know that the corpos and governments are hellbent on apocalypse, we don't have to support them
"tragedy if the Commons" is a capitalist myth, just like consumer activism.
