Responsibility comes not from fault, it comes from power to affect change. We do have the power. No individual person has, sure, but we all have a little bit of impact. You people fully understand that concept for racism or sexism, so why are you pretending it's different here? Instead of looking at who has more power, why are you never asking yourself who has less power? You have the power of entire fucking families in the poorest countries in the world. You know, the people you pretend to care about when we talk about the GLOBAL climate change problem? Weird how the global-ness leaves your body the second we talk about responsibility.....

Seriously, there's a really good chance everyone here it in the global top 10%. And just like the local top 10%, we OVERCONSUME!

Compared to India or Africa, yes. Countries with higher standard will have access to more different foods, better technology etc etc. I dont feel guilty over that at all. I was born in this location on earth so I just live here normally.

If I'm born in Africa in my next life, I will live a life with whatever resources they have available.
