even DUers, love their SUVs and meat and air travel and ability to procreate too much to care. That’s why you’re getting no replies. Denial is easier than recognizing and getting rid of one’s bad habits, which takes intellectual courage.

Not long ago, there was a thread on DU in which pretty much everyone recommended that a DUer who doesn’t like SUVs should just buy an SUV because SUVs are much better . There was another thread in which petite women were bragging about how they drive large SUVs. Any time someone tries to suggest that people go vegan to save animals, the planet, and their own health, they get flamed off the forum.

You’re right. We’re doomed. We’re doomed because the vast majority of humans are disgustingly selfish. The only way to live in this world as someone who cares is to focus on your own actions and try to ignore the masses, because they’re too narrowly focused on their own immediate self-interest to even consider changing.
