I doubt it would have been if you started off immediately denying decades of science. The entire reason we are going through global climate change is overproduction and the pollution caused by it.
You then make excuses towards the owning class that their overproduction is “accidental” and “punished by shareholders” which is an absolutely wild claim to make.
Following that you demonstrate a lack of basic understanding of economics and how profit margins work, that products are priced multiples of their production costs to ensure that even if only a fraction sells the company remains profitable in the long run. Loss is a thing in projections. They anticipate that a percentage of their product will not sell. It’s called shrink.
You then go on to try assigning blame onto individuals instead of understanding that this is something that is systemic in nature. It is an archaic, draconic mentality that is utterly infeasible of a strategy when you have even a basic understanding of sociology and human psychology. Which I am not equipped to tutor you in.
You then end it with a lackadaisical insulting of my argument by just calling it “lazy” for engaging in a critical analysis of the systems which control our lives.
Sorry, but if that’s how you argue, there is nothing constructive that will come out of that conversation. I’m just gonna get angry arguing with someone who clearly lacks education that I am ill equipped to provide. My degree is in wildlife conservation and ecological science, not education. I’m no teacher. I couldn’t hack it even if I wanted to.
I’m not the other person (merc@sh.itjust.works), you have me confused. I’m just a third party who was watching the debate unfold. I had not previously interacted with you here on the fediverse or responded in the chain.
I fully agree with you respecting yourself and setting a boundary. I’ve found myself doing the same with certain commenters. I just was speaking to my curiosity and desire to see more because I felt like I was seeing some points unfold from both of you that I resonated with, even if I gravitate towards seeing your side more than merc’s.
Lol okay. Sure buddy. Not even gonna bother reading the rest if you’re gonna go with this off rip.
Wow, you are truly clueless
It’s a shame you feel this way because I feel like further debate between you two would’ve been very productive for discourse.
I don’t really 100% agree with either of you, but you both made valid points from my perspective and you both clearly give a shit about the world.
I’ll respect how you feel though, I just wanted to express my disappointment.

Oh shit. Absolutely my bad for confusing the names. I do deeply apologize.
You’re totally fine! Don’t be embarrassed or sorry. Thanks for the discourse nonetheless. Hope to see you around!
