    It absolutely will not. It’s become abundantly clear that any sort of actually meaningful climate action will simply not happen in the current system, which is focused on profit at all costs and run by literal psychopaths. We’ll continue seeing cosmetic consumer-facing restrictions like the ban on plastic straws that ultimately are nearly pointless in the grand scheme of things – the real polluters are corporations and people that are much too rich (ie. powerful) for their contribution to this climate clusterfuck to be meaningfully regulated.

    For actual change that’s not just tiny incremental and ineffectual bullshit that mainly places the blame on consumers, we’d have to redo our entire economic system and that’s not going to happen without a lot of bloodshed.
