The thing is, getting rid of the very rich and their indulgence in climate-devastating actions moves the goalposts/acceptable excuses for the lower classes ("but the rich are doing it too") as well.

Maybe there’s some term or phrase for this, but I feel like those being wasteful aren’t gonna change because suddenly the goal post is moved.

Maybe I’m too pessimistic, but I feel like most human behavior we decide what we are gonna do and then find the reasons to justify it.
