At some point in the past 20-30 years I started recycling. My town had just installed these new separate trash bins, I was just tryna “do my part” and be able to say I didn’t contribute to the shit environment we will have in the future. Nowadays, I neither recycle, nor feel guilty about it. The illusion that I was doing anything productive with my time fell apart the time I saw the garbage guys pick up all the trash containers and dump them in the same truck. I asked them “hey, does the trash site have some way to sort the garbage?” thinking that maybe I was missing something. They said “nah” and moved on.
Nowadays I still watch the same trucks pick up the same trash cans in the exact same fucking way. In the meantime I’ve learned the company belongs to someone close to the mayor, so there’s not even a chance this kinda shit will be reprimanded, ever.
You can build the best fucking bridge you want, if there’s a corporation on the other side of the river, you’ll find yourself swimming anyway.
So no, buddy. Blaming corpos for the results of their actions isn’t just “the new climate denial”. Some of us have been cynical for a while now, and this is just another area where we don’t trust some shithead politician’s empty slogans.
Also, there’s no need to discredit all parties that disagree with you by aligning them with an obviously insane crowd, is there? Especially since that shit goes both ways - your post is also the type of post that a corporate shill would write. Should I label you as a corpo whitewasher, just cause your opinion is different than mine?
