THE NEW CONSUMERISM

”Environmentalism”, “living off the grid”, “saving the planet”, “reducing your carbon footprint”, going vegetarian vegan or “plant based”, meat is evil blah blah blah.

Lots of very fat profits to be made in the industries of marijuana, alcohol, “CBD”, weed, “mindfulness”, yoga,

Also… dogs? One can argue that having a dog and a pet is 100000x worse for the environment than having children.

Don’t trust these loser “effective” altruists.

First the general concept of altruism is bad. Nobody wants nor *needs* or is asking for your “help”. We don’t need no pseudo-superheroes, Jesus messiah figures.

Also to even make altruism “effective”— applying anaemic utilitarian theory to helping other humans reduces people to a mere number and statistic… this is the new Joseph Stalinism?

A million deaths is a statistic. A single death is a tragedy. – Joseph Stalin

If alcohol, marijuana was bad for the planet, or having dogs or going vegan or going plant based was bad for the planet … would people still do it?
