    Cutting down on billionaires would do a lot more for the environment

        Both things can be true at the same time.

        Billionaires / the 1% / whatever category of rich assholes you choose obviously use much more resources than “the common man”. Still, if we, as humanity, do not change how and what we consume, cutting what the rich use would not even remotely be enough.

        But it’s so much easier to ban straws than to make fishing companies responsible for their waste and destruction!

      Right here. This bullshit of “go vegan, save the environment”? Rich people propaganda. That’s all it is. People with environmental concerns and a misguided sensitivity for livestock animals are fooled by a bunch of rich fucks who don’t want to curtail their expensive, massively polluting lifestyle. Fuck them and fuck their bullshit. And fuck vegetarianism/veganism that goes against every single bit of what and who we are as humans.
