    How shall I help again exactly? Voting? I didn’t blame China, I simply pointed out that your solution, ‘voting’ doesn’t work in a place that doesn’t have participatory democracy. China is to blame just like America is. The wealthy, powerful Chinese and Americans, who actually could do something besides idiotically arguing, decide to continue fucking the world, our children’s futures, and everything else that gets in the way of their maintaining that power. Mostly the people with power over the problem actively ignore or disregard the problem. I do vote. I pick up trash. I avoid buying new stuff, beyond that, since I’m not the CEO of Exon Mobil, I really don’t have agency.

        What you originally said…

        They could vote for policy makers that bring change, or go into politics themselves. But they don’t actually want to be affected by such policy changes. It’s always the others, always just finger pointing.

        This implied that if we voted green, if I went into politics on a environmental platform, if I inconvenienced myself, it could change things. This does, indeed, suggest some sort of solution. I politely disagreed for a variety of reasons, you rudely misunderstood. Did I blame China? No I pointed out that voting green wouldn’t change China. Did I say America is awesome. No I said America is a major part of the problem.

        You say everyone is out there finger pointing, but you are unclear, and blaming me for not understanding what you are trying to say perfectly. Point the finger up your tight butt instead of at me.

            climate denial bullshit

            Please point to the place where I denied climate change.

            You’ve pointed your finger at me the entire time we’ve talked, while failing to own your own words. You can’t move the goal posts and expect anyone to give a shit about your opinions. You are saying voting can’t change anything, while saying voting is the way to change the problem. Pick one please.

                This entire comment chain of you trying to deflect away from taking action

                Where exactly? What action am I deflecting?

                You’re the who’s moving the goalpost

                Please elaborate/ substantiate what have I said that is contradictory?

                You said ‘voters won’t change anything’ but voting green is the way to change… If only people would vote green. So which one is it???

                    You like saying people go around pointing fingers, but I only see your finger pointing at me.

                    Did I use rude and insuting language at you? Did I make unsubstantiated claims and then back down when asked for clarification?

                    Your shit stinks just like everyone else’s
