I don't care how many protest events you've been to, I don't care if you've spent time at blockades & got arrested either, don't care how much content you post online about caring about the environment IF -> you still choose to fly all over Canada for leisurely trips & when not flying everywhere, you choose to drive all across BC & across Canada, you choose to overconsume material items & create more unnecessary waste - you are part of the problems & not really a part of the solutions.

The above listed selfish human behaviours are not what any serious environmentalist engages in. It's what performative folks engage in - they film themselves multiple times daily to get views online on multiple sites. Their self worth is tied to their online life/likes. I do not enjoy being around high hypocrisy, dishonest, self absorbed, irresponsible people like that & avoid them as much as possible. I tend to adhere tightly to my standards of association & don't let unsavory selfish folks stay around me. I oust them fast & have not felt bad about it. Being cautiously careful about the company we choose to keep around us is a pretty big part of our self care as well.
