Western leftists: eat less meat, that is individual choice and it matters greatly!
Global south: burn less carbon, pls, the ocean is drowning us

Collectively, decreased consumption absolutely does cause crises in capitalism.
We should attempt to organize and coordinate these sentiments while pointing out the limitations of atomized action.
The vast majority of consumption doesn't happen by the economic lower 50 percent of any country.
Of course, but that doesn't contradict my point.
Limited, insufficient improvement does not imply worthlessness and we should be trying to capture and redirect these sentiments.
And accordingly, we should focus individualized efforts elsewhere. I don't think anyone (at least on the left) saying that individual action can be part of the solution is calling for the poorest among us to cut back even further.

Liberals, famous for doing what they can individually while also pursuing collective action, and famous for not placing even more burdens on the poor.
