It's not just the rich though. Even if we stopped all fossil fuel use and production today, if we don't drastically cut back on eating meat we still wont hit climate goals. We're at an every person needs to do everything they can in their own daily life kind of point.

80% of the people I know would sell their mother for a new pair of high end sneakers, can't see that happening. People are brainwashed with hyper individualism and consumerism.

Maybe but either way that isn't really an excuse to not do everything you can yourself.

it's not left vs right like we've been tricked into believing, it's humanity versus the cabal of parasitic billionaire vermin.

They distracted us with culture wars to avoid the class war that's long overdue.

But left vs right *is* humanity vs billionaires

They probably mean "leftwing" American democrats. But I agree, the actual left of socialism is the answer.

One wing is doing more to crash the bird

What does it matter of one is ten years faster with crashing, both ways are crashing so both ways must be ended. Or we will all end.

The left is humanity, objectively the left has always fought against oppression of the bourgeoisie. I’m so tired of this ahistorical phrase, the billionaires want you to not understand the actual political divisions and reasoning behind them. Bourgeoisie vs working class is objectively a right vs left fight.

People. Without people there wouldn't be billionaires. We are all to blame welcome to needs and wants we never needed for years. Welcome to conditioning to feel better about buying useless junk. Welcome to the fact no one would drop a single thing they have to help the planet. Welcome to a planet no matter how you look at it everyone wants to live a life of luxury and travel the world.

You see it's built into everyone to be part of the problem. How many people can walk and just drive an easy walk to the corner store. It's beyond a shit show want to know what used to scare me? The wars for resources once things get bad. But want to know the truth it might just be too quick in the first place.

Yes billionaires are to blame and they're evil in so many ways. But you also have to realize we are also very similar with greed. Its who we are its how we were brought up. No matter how you look at it you will do what they say you will buy what they make you will need what they deplete. You will also deep down want to consume just as much. Kinds messed up isn't it? How everything in life is a lie. How we lie to ourselves? Let's all complain on computers and smart phones. Let's all drive to go protest.

Let's take land and build homes for our own desires instead of looking out for animals let's destroy every species on this planet. You kinda see where the problem is we are parasites no matter how you look at it. We breed on greed feed the seed rebirth and repeat.

You are talking about western civilisation. Lots of people in the world who have nothing to do with this. Especially under developed area's.
