Not as hardcore as throwawaylinux about it but I can understand the idea of:

- why am I voluntarily restricting what I can do so that others can have more leeway to do whatever they want?

For my part, I ride a motorbike. I enjoy it, it uses less fuel, running costs etc than most cars. But I am not going to give it up while my neighbour's family in their multimillion dollar mansion drives 3x 2 ton+ SUVs around.

A work colleague of mine bought a Dodge RAM 2500. To tow his boat and carry his multiple dirt bikes.

I ignore people asking me to do more now. I do enough. Go after the worst offenders first.

Because you refuse to vote for systemic change that would affect everyone positively?

:-) Mate, you have zero idea how I vote. Maybe I am similarly frustrated like you.

Not everybody else, just a tiny privileged minority. The self-proclaimed experts -- those who allegedly listen to the science, and have their finger on the pulse of the issue, and who are the most flagrantly wasteful polluters on the planet. I mean from their actions it's not even clear that there is a problem at all, is it? Do you deny their knowledge and expertise?
