By definition, being a hermit would be eschewing solidarity, so no. Instead I'd be working together with others to fight back against the fossil fuel industry.

It's impossible to live in this society without supporting oil, there is no other choice.

Im sure some green eco scientist will figure out a way to reverse the effects oil has on the economy God will save us.

FTFY. This technological fundamentalist belief is just as bad as religious fundamentalist belief.

And this world is going to shit anyways.

Sociopathic, much? It's usually privileged people that say this. Try living with the indigenous people in Alberta to see what it's like when you're home has turned into a toxic wasteland.

So quit complaining about this and live life... Go protest something else that matters.

That myth that protestors are dull, unfunny, and don't have fun? I've heard that too many times to count.

Fossil fuels. Same with most prescription pills. And prosthetic clothing like nylon and polyester. And all my food is trucked to my plate via fossil fuel. The heat that keeps me warm, the energy that my computer uses, all use fossil fuel.

But so what? Fossil fuel corporations are the most powerful entities in the world, they've worked their way into every corner of society. It's impossible not to use fossil fuel, yet I'm going to rebel to the best of my ability because this system is fucked up.

Really? Imagine if you were in the early 19th century working for a rich Southern plantation owner and you sold slaves. Would that be OK with you, too?

No moral dilemma at all. I dont think you realize how important slavery is. Just about everything you use on a daily basis is made from slavery byproducts. And by me working for american companies, selling american slaves, im only helping out the US. The economy is setup to run on slavery. Thats not something i did, and there is nothing i can do to change that. I am only helping the situation, making EVERYTHING more affordable for people, not just slavery prices.

Consider that climate change is going to cause widespread droughts, heat waves, floods, sea level rise, super storms, super bugs, food and water scarcity, extinction and ecosystem collapse, and malnutrition, potentially wiping out all of humanity if not slowly killing hundreds of millions of people.

I would also like to know the general culture and attitude of the people you work with in regards to these issues, especially your boss, and boss's boss, and so on up the ladder.
