And if Chevron (& Exxon, et al) didn’t spend 50 years lobbying, burying evidence, and smearing people who pointed out what they were doing, we wouldn’t be in this situation. I take ownership of my role, and I’ve made substantial lifestyle choices to ameliorate my impac, but don’t act like Chevron is some innocent actor born along by the cruel currents of an uncaring market - they have spent substantial energy and resources making this problem worse in ways not core to their business, and they have done so intentionally and knowingly. They bear more blame than any individual does, both collectively and proportionally.
Out of curiosity, how do you suggest that be done? Should I live in a mud hut and eat bugs? Forego interaction with society in a cave somewhere?
If you think I should protest, I do. And, I've pointed out exactly how protestors are dealt with: minimized, attacked, infiltrated, smeared, ignored, and so on.
Every year, hundreds of environmental protectors are murdered. So what exactly is your suggested course of action here?
Like i said, take ownership of your role.
