    I did, you’re just wrong. Personal responsibility stops working at large scales and can not, MUST not be depended upon. The more people you need to be responsible, the smaller the percentage that will be.

    That’s why we have laws and need to have better laws regarding pollution and consumption.

      And now you’re LYING about it, that’s hilarious!

      I’ll let you off the hook.

      DreamerOfImprobableDreams started it with the “don’t @ me about 100 corporations”. At which point I called him out by saying the exact same shit you’re saying to me now. That’s how I know you didn’t read the context.

      Embarrassed yet?

      When I brought up that “personal responsibility” is a propaganda point from corpos, he clarified that he was talking in the context of “policy driven changes that force companies to decarbonize will have a negative effect on people’s lives”, ie gas prices will go up, oil riggers will lose their jobs, etc. Market friction. It will suck a little bit.

      As hh93 said, and I agreed to,

      No - the ones calling them out are just telling them to be prepared to change their lifestyle after those measurements are taken because it sure as hell won’t go on how it has all the time if those companies just stop.

      That’s “personal responsibility” in the context we were all talking about.

      So clearly you didn’t read a damn thing from the comment thread prior to my comment, and then you DOUBLED DOWN on refusing to read and lied about reading.

      That was bad, and you should feel foolish.
