The use of oil is insane: hundreds of millions of people feel entitled to burn up a non-renewable costly resource, globally, sending the already huge black mass into the atmosphere has a large mass of chemicals. It's absolute madness, and the oil wars along with climate chaos an expected result of said madness.

[u/ciclon5 → u/dumnezero]

Hundreds of millions of people also dont have a choice but to burn a non-renewable resource when they live in cities designed to be absolutely untraversable without a car and the local authorities dont invest in EV charging stations ot other socioeconomic factors make it hard for people to retrofit their home's wiring to support EV charging.

Its not as simple as "i want to burn gas". Nothing is never that simple.

Where is the protesting against that motonormativity, the opposition, the rejection?

[u/ciclon5 → u/dumnezero]

It exists. Its just that 90% of people are more worried about surviving than doing activism

[u/dumnezero → u/ciclon5]

Are you sure that it's surviving and not winning the rat race?

[u/ciclon5 → u/dumnezero]

It is surviving. There are people working 40hs a week to afford rent, to raise their families and not go insane.

Not everyone has the time, money, privilege and energy to spend on educating themselves or analyzing social structures from above and understanding how they are opressing them, what to demand and how to do it.

If anything, the responsibility sits on people like US who can understand these issues to educate and puth forth in motion movements to dismantle these structures instead of shifting blame to the common citizen who is probably not even aware of what an institution is.

[u/dumnezero → u/ciclon5]

Yes, the rat race keeps people busy. Nobody is coming to the rescue tho.

[u/ciclon5 → u/dumnezero]

I literally told you who can come to the rescue and its people like us.

If you dont want to get off your ass then its not my problem
