  • What about the facts that Exxon, Total or Shell knew about climate change 50 years ago and lied about it ever since ? Or the fact that the tobacco industry knew about the effects of cigarettes and lied about it ? Or the sugar industry knowing about obesity and addiction issues and lied about it ? Or that the plastic industry forged the lies about recycling and the issues plastics would cause globally, and lied about it ?

    These corporations lied, bribed politicians, and lobbied worldwide against accountability and regulation.

    And they marketed how good their shit was for people to consume and abuse. We had ads about how good asbestos filter cigarettes were better for you for fuck’s sake.

    I’m sorry but these facts completely invalidate your point.

    Yes we should be smarter about the way we consume, but we’re being brainwashed by the same people profiteering from selling us garbage that thrashes the planet and our health.

    And that can only come from sensible and strong regulations and accountability towards corporations.
