How shall I help again exactly? Voting? I didn't blame China, I simply pointed out that your solution, 'voting' doesn't work in a place that doesn't have participatory democracy. China is to blame just like America is. The wealthy, powerful Chinese and Americans, who actually could do something besides idiotically arguing, decide to continue fucking the world, our children's futures, and everything else that gets in the way of their maintaining that power. Mostly the people with power over the problem actively ignore or disregard the problem. I do vote. I pick up trash. I avoid buying new stuff, beyond that, since I'm not the CEO of Exon Mobil, I really don't have agency.
- Is your reading comprehension broken are you playing stupid? I never claimed to have a solution. In fact, I pointed out a problem more than anything: Voters. And here you are, derailing towards things that aren't voters, because fuck responsibility. That's why I don't understand what you're trying to get at here. It's like you talk about a completely different topic.
  And it's cool that you do all that, but feel free to actually look at other peoples actions, the actions of the huge majority of people. See what the polls around the worlds democracies say. Do you see a huge win for green parties? Do you see people willing to eat less meat? Do you see people swapping from their car to alternatives? No. The contrary. People actually even vote more and more for far right nationalists. The US voted for Trump and there are many places in Europe that are either fully or partially under far right rulership now. And this is something that will get worse with more climate related issues arising, including mass migration from the countries around the equator, that become unlivable hell holes, but also because of food and water shortages. Also, look how many people blame actual climate activists, because they get affected by them in stupidly minor ways, to the point where they want to hurt them.
  
  What you originally said...
  They could vote for policy makers that bring change, or go into politics themselves. But they don't actually want to be affected by such policy changes. It's always the others, always just finger pointing.
  This implied that if we voted green, if I went into politics on a environmental platform, if I inconvenienced myself, it could change things. This does, indeed, suggest some sort of solution. I politely disagreed for a variety of reasons, you rudely misunderstood. Did I blame China? No I pointed out that voting green wouldn't change China. Did I say America is awesome. No I said America is a major part of the problem.
  You say everyone is out there finger pointing, but you are unclear, and blaming me for not understanding what you are trying to say perfectly. Point the finger up your tight butt instead of at me.
  
  China is currently one of the leaders in building out renewables. And yes, if the entire democratic world would vote green, it would be a solution. I don't know if you've noticed, but our policies actually change the world, they do it right nor for the negative, and they also have the power to do the opposite. And in the end, there's a lot of tools to hold countries that don't adhere to climate friendly policies accountable. But that first and foremost requires us to actually do the first step of fixing up the mess that we caused. So please stop the climate denial bullshit.
  
  climate denial bullshit
  Please point to the place where I denied climate change.
  You've pointed your finger at me the entire time we've talked, while failing to own your own words. You can't move the goal posts and expect anyone to give a shit about your opinions. You are saying voting can't change anything, while saying voting is the way to change the problem. Pick one please.

  This entire comment chain of you trying to deflect away from taking action. And now stop the gaslighting. Thanks.
  You can’t move the goal posts and expect anyone to give a shit about your opinions.
  Stop. The. Gaslighting. You're the who's moving the goalpost with your fucking deflections. Just stop.
  You are saying voting can’t change anything, while saying voting is the way to change the problem. Pick one please.
  Learn to read. I said voters won't change anything. Stop spinning shit. Stop gaslighting, Stop deflecting.
  
  This entire comment chain of you trying to deflect away from taking action
  Where exactly? What action am I deflecting?
  You're the who's moving the goalpost
  Please elaborate/ substantiate what have I said that is contradictory?
  You said 'voters won't change anything' but voting green is the way to change... If only people would vote green. So which one is it???
  
  Alright, this is getting too dense for me and I'm not interested in orbiting a black hole. Work on your reading comprehension if you want to communicate with people on the internet. I'm out.
  
  You like saying people go around pointing fingers, but I only see your finger pointing at me.
  Did I use rude and insuting language at you? Did I make unsubstantiated claims and then back down when asked for clarification?
  Your shit stinks just like everyone else's
