Jack continues to ignore power dynamics and structures.
>>We're not burning fossil fuels because we're stupid or because capitalism made us do it, but because they provide us with great benefits.<<
This completely ignores the process whereby fossil fuels became so readily available and their use so encouraged; it ignores the massive coercion that was necessary, it ignores the real motivations behind the extraction, it ignores the institutional motivations behind the fossil-dependent infrastructures we've been stuck with. It ignores the fact that states run the show, not "us".
It ignores capitalist realism and cultural hegemony.
It's that damn tragedy of the commons shit again and I reject it.
