Western leftists: eat less meat, that is individual choice and it matters greatly!
Global south: burn less carbon, pls, the ocean is drowning us
Western leftists: :pit: :pit: :pit:
The whole "x % of emissions are from corporations" has always been a bit of a bad argument, because it is an overly simplistic way of looking at a systematic problem. The real argument requires the knowledge of what is essential in capitalism, and is therefore much harder to make.
This does not, however, mean that consumption choices under capitalism are a realistic means to effect change.
They're a good way to apply pressure sometimes (BDS is certainly making a stink) and, more importantly, constitute a means by which to try to radicalize and organize liberals against capitalism and into some kind of advocacy org, ideally a socialist one.
We should direct and redirect anticapitalist action rather than only pointing out when it's insufficient or even a trap.
