Large part of the problem is that most people just don't really care and will gladly destroy the environment to save themselves the slightest bit of effort.

i'd aregue the larger part is the system that alienates people from nature, society and the production of goods.

Individual responsibility is a myth perpetrated on the public to take eyes off of big business's culpability.

I'd disagree, that's a talking point promoted by big oil/corpoghouls to encourage divide and conquer tactics and move perception away from the issues at hand.
There's been a concerted effort by petrochemical ghouls to hinder any progressive innovation that doesn't require oil for the last 100 years.
This paired with western societies exceptionalism and belief that it can live outside of nature and limited resources is the biggest driving factor behind the mass extinction event.
We need to radically rethink our society to cause effective change, it's hard to orchestrate that on the individual level but innovation that can offer convienent alternatives would cause the majority of people to reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing quality of life.
At this point in time it is too late for us to continue living as we know it. Billions of people will now have to die, borders will be reshaped and our entire societies will become unrecognisable from what they are today, most likely for the worse.
I paint it out to sound like we should give up, but we absolutely should not. We have a choice to drag our heels kicking and screaming into the future at the detriment for all or we can continue fighting for a better world.

The realization that the purpose of our lives may be to discover the tactics of resistance that are not effective in hopes that those that come after survive long enough to find the ones that are effective

What social media is this crossposted from? Cant be reddit, would have been censored.

It was surprisingly hard to find. And having found it I'm not sure I want to share where I found it.
But if you want to have a bad day search for this.

Oooof, self proclaimed racist.
Anarchy is ideology is fundamentally opposed to all hierarchy including racism so this was quite a culture shock.
Turns out even this picture is an edit from an originally racist one.

And yet we don't seem to have real green terrorists, despite the kids in the UK being called terrorists for stopping traffic
Even when Ukraine blows up an oil refinery, they're doing it for economic reasons
Where are the attacks on oil infrastructure?

It’s cool they are using a huge gas guzzler to attack the petrochemical industry.

I was recently on a electric ferry. It was remarkably quiet for a boat of its size, and it was nice being able to walk around the top deck with no diesel fumes... ... In any case, I wouldn't be drawing that kind of conclusion about the boat in the comic. We can barely see it.

Hmm… I wonder what this boat runs on

Well, considering the talking owl, and the strangely fast change of clothing, I'm going to infer a quantum engine fueled by air magic.

Just in case you don't understand, the use of petrol and derivatives isn't a problem per se. The problem is that all the big oil companies spend millions of dollars convincing people and politicians that climate change isn't real, that environmental regulations are dumb, that they shouldn't be held liable about any of the pollution created by their products.
The world is burning and they're throwing more gas on the fire, speeding up the process, in the name of profit.
