Personal responsibility starts with each person owning their consumption.
People don’t need to organize for this, they just need to get educated on managing their consumption. Most of this stuff is common sense.
But yeah people should be organizing a union at their work when possible or switch jobs every few years for a raise. Attack corpos from all side as a worker and as a consumer.
Personal responsibility is great but you won’t affect systemic change through personal action. I’m not suggesting you stop being a conscientious consumeror but we have a tendency to keep insisting that the first step is for everyone to individually change.l their behaviour.
E.g. If you want to personally abstain from contribution to climate change then that’s A-OK but if your goal is to actually prevent it then you need to think and work systemically.
I don’t mean organise in a workplace (though we all should) I mean organise in a community sense. The idea that you are responsible in part for a systemic problem because of your own consumption habits was foisted on us by corpos to shift blame for the economic and environmental destruction they chose to cause.
Without people owning their actions they will never understand the point of solidarity.
I am proposing an action every can take today… it does not hurt your thesis. It is literally the building block to it.
I am not here to blame people for consuming, I am merely point out that discretionary spending is a valid vector of attack against corpo trash. You can deny them your money and tell your hommies to do the same. If everyone did it, this can be done overnight.
Other issues our society faces require hellva a lot more work but again this act is a building block for it. If we can’t get this basic shit done, how do you expect any of this peasants to “organize”
We clearly got education issue on our hands, most people can’t figure out who is fucking them while jerking politics without any results.
Right? As an example, when I switched to a plant based diet in 2014, if I wanted a vegan pizza or vegan doughnut, for example, I’d have to make them myself or seek out a specialist shop. Now these things are mainstream, even small supermarkets have them, Lidl even has vegan weeks every couple of months. That was unimaginable 10 years ago!
My actions back then did nothing alone, but it was the slow trickle of others cutting out animal products that added up and created this demand. And one person setting an example can encourage friends and family to give it a go.
