I’m glad you addressed this. As soon as I read the title of the post, I knew there would be people who use it as an excuse not to try to do what they can to reduce their negative affects. Which is so incredibly frustrating. Every! Little! Bit! Counts!
Why should I restrict my limited lifetime on contributing pennies to solving this issue when there are mountains of gold right there doing nothing? I’m not bending over backwards unless the big ones bend with me — pretty fair stance to take, right?
The problem with cops is that there are good cops who generally behave well and genuinely want to serve and protect their communities. The reason they’re still bastards is because of the unions that they keep (and support). They have some bad apples, and not removing them from the bunch means the bunch gets spoiled.

They are law enforcement, enforce the law. No exceptions.
Yes, I agree completely. I was just explaining that it’s not ACAB because literally all cops are out there getting away with extrajudicial beatings. It’s ACAB because they don’t throw out the bad apples (aka. don’t report bad cops)
Please don’t use this as an excuse for. “It doesn’t matter how much I emit then”.
Use this as motivation for grassroots and political action aiming to stop the concept of billionaire from existing.
Fuck yeah! You get it.

Also I doubt anyone in this comment section is average.
The average sits somewhere between us and the all the people in third world country who emit practically no carbon pollution

The only way to stop it is when we’re hungry enough, and it’s time to eat.
I think I just found out I can reverse my entire life’s footprint if I can manage to blow smoke in one billionaire’s face.
Probably two lives, given their security will likely shoot you in the face.
ACAB.
Bargain.
… billionaires’ security are not cops
True, there’s no masking in private security.
Well they both use the threat of violence to reinforce the status quo. So in my mind they are effectively the same.
I feel like that’s missing the point of ACAB.

The ones that do, aren’t cops for long.
