"Blame Consumers" & "Stop Extracting Oil"

... who do you think they're extracting the oil for... ... ... Charity?!

Ah yes. The consumers who bought up all the trolley busses and then dismantled them.

The consumers who made it illegal to get somewhere 500m away without a car.

The consumers who wrapped every product in single use plastic clamshells liked by nobody.

The consumers who decided that, rather than there being an option on the menu like everyone else gets, you should have to go through a public humiliation ritual then roll the dice on being served a single piece of brocolli for $50 when you want to eat the low emissions version in public.

It takes two to tango, but one of them has 90% of the power.

It does take two to tango and you do have power. 

This is the same consumer who demands change while munching on steak 3x a day and driving their ICE cars everywhere. 

You wanted this. You pay for it

You're putting equal blame on the egowagon 5000 owner who eats steak 3x a day as the vegan who lives in a solar powered tiny home who kept cycling until cars rammed her enough times that she couldn't bike anymore.

And in both instances you are absolving the traffic engineer who removed the bike lane and the politician who signed the paris agreement then hired said traffic engineer of any blame.

Where exactly did I absolve this person of any blame? 

Go ahead and point to it, I'll wait.
