Not that we engage in polluting practices, but that we can't convince the profiteers to change them,

From https://www.reddit.com/r/MassMove/wiki/index:

Public opinion is more important than we imagine; it embraces the entire world, embeds itself in law and gives birth to revolution.

Exxon Knew about Climate Change almost 40 years ago - investigation shows the oil company understood the science before it became a public issue and spent millions to promote misinformation.

And they are still trying to dominate public opinion with misinformation campaigns: https://exxonknew.org

Public opinions on grand enough scales become codified into laws, so the baddies are spending billions of dollars to employ thousands of people to enslave the masses with misinformation - check the shitty MS Paint map in the war room. Some of the known state-run operations "only" have 4-5 thousand accounts. We can beat that in our spare time with our creativity and drive without breaking a sweat as most of us are from the internet now.
