another facet of the cynicism relates to the hilarious idea that john recycling his coke can and shortening his shower by a minute will offset the damage done by the corporate oligarchs who profit from actively destroying the climate and environment

I totally understand the frustration and society needs to make major systemic changes, but before we can get there, we need it to become normalized in peoples' minds as to why. People can be guilt-tripped into doing the right thing, as religion has shown historically although sometimes the wrong thing too there. So there is some grassroots aspect to it, but I absolutely agree that we need to focus on more than just our own individual harmful behaviors.

Hemp and nuclear. Unfortunately, a vastly more gigantic portion of the population is vastly more scared of those than climate fuckery.

That's more like it. It needs to be more in the public discussion of how these resources/technologies can prevent likely tragedy in the future. So increased awareness again would be a good thing. Speaking of hemp, it may be influencing my tone now so don't take me too seriously with this particular post.
