By now I think, that many people are stuck in emotional kindergarten level and it’s only about who is to blame
If I talk for example about climate change, everybody reacts with “but look at China/Africa/India!! We need to buy new cars while they are driving all the old stuff. We’re getting cheated [somehow by having cleaner air?] and they are all at fault!”
Like, I don’t really think that you are responsibly alone for that stuff and I don’t really care who is as fault, but we need to solve a problem that affects all of us.
Ok, of you’re the CEO of Exxon you’re probably to blame. But come on, I wanna talk about solutions and not play a blame game
(“You” obviously doesn’t mean you, but my hypothetical talk partner)
