You realize that corporations are smoothly pivoting from promoting climate denial to promoting climate despair, right? They want you to think that it's hopeless and that there's no point in trying, but we actually still have a chance to prevent the worst climate change outcomes. Please stop spreading this shit.
Well I definitely misremembered on the milk thing, looking it up the statistics seem pretty clear that dairy production is more demanding than the alternatives. I still think that regulation will have more of an effect than trying to change the minds of individuals though, I wouldn't dismiss the kind of impact it can have.
America is bad, but it's also good sometimes too. Often the people most oppressed and downtrodden do the most to contribute to that good, but it's all still part of the big complicated mess that is America.
Individuals making the choice to go vegan is never going to solve our environmental and animal rights issues. Not that it's worthless, but I think the focus should be on getting more stringent regulation of how animals are treated and pushing for alternatives like fake or lab grown meat. It should also be noted that vegetarianism is better for the environment overall, vegan milk alternatives are all highly demanding crops that need a lot of water and space.
I'm gonna say probably not, if he were Valve would be full-on employee owned. I will say he seems a little less uh... warped than most prominent billionaires, but that's not exactly a high bar to clear. Overall he seems like an okay guy but I don't know him and have no way of telling whether he's secretly a dick or something.
It's a mixture of actual psyops from Russian bots and useful idiots that are more attached to the aesthetic of fighting the establishment than they are to making people's lives better.
No it's absolutely that serious, pushing climate despair is the current number one tactic of oil billionaires.
