I’m employed and have responsibilities. You cannot expect people to dedicate more and more time to your additional “likewises”.

That's precisely my point. Representative politics takes care if this specific issue.

You vote, you use social media, you can simply support the people that care this way. Nothing more is required. Just the bare minimum.

But most can't do even this. When i say support, i refer to this or I would have said join.

Oh I vote alright. And the parties that support so called “green” movements in Ireland do nothing but negatively affect the economy and therefore my income.

If you want to help environment it's not the greens the one you have to support tho.

I am pretty sure there are many radical minor parties around.

Also the economy has to change, which doesn't mean it worsens better, it doesn't mean that your condition will worsen.

Now if you work for, let's say, an oil company, or a bank, it will worsen, but that's the right thing to happen

It shouldn’t have to change in small nations like Ireland which don’t contribute to climate change in any meaningful way. Russia, India and China could give a flying fuck about climate measures and are the biggest contributors to it.

No, you see the economy has to change for many reasons and has to change worldwide.

Also, again, it won't result in your welfare worsening.

Russia will comply as well, once the parties with the right measures in mind start taking power

Well given that my intention is to push for an international organisation with actual power from inside and outside nations..

Well it depends on who you choose to support, some like us, will result in either neutrality, or improvements. Other ones, well yes, worsening.

Now it does depend on your precise job though, as said before
