  I’m a ship. In front of me is a giant rock, past that there is another ship, finally the beach. I can run into each of them. The rock is more important because I’m gonna hit that first. Can’t make it any more clear

    So you are willing to run into another ship just because there’s a rock in front of you. Your example is apt, you still have to and need to worry about all of them to successfully make it out, and cannot just worry about 1.

    The issue is no less important because it is supposedly further out, because we need to get started asap to avoid the most damage

      When we are all dead from the rock, the ship isn’t gonna matter - dodge the rock first, then worry about the ship

      This shit is why nothing EVER gets solved, spreading out resources to all the problems instead of solving the most important one first. Just like those in power like it.

      You won’t solve microplastics while the people in power won’t do anything about it. And they are too busy with dividing up the globe and planning mass executions to be bothered with something that isn’t going to affect them at all.

      But whatever man. You keep putting your effort into whatever floats your boat. I’m sure you’ll feel great about it when you are getting rounded up. Heaven forbid In this cosmic hellhole a few people found a tiny bit of joy with some googly eyes

        A short sighted attitude to a ridiculous degree. You and your “I can only think of one issue at a time” attitude is precisely the kind of problem that politics always has.
