Comment on I need to tell you something unsatisfying: your personal consumption choices will not make a meaningful difference to the amount of enshittification you experience in your life

If I may chime in, like Sundray, I am used to the author's style, which preempts critics by acknowledging the difficulty before getting to the positive. He's had enough people tell him 'recycling plastic is a joke!' to now start by saying, yes, I know, BUT you should still do it and then he'll get to the positive. He's not suggesting people are foolish for doing it, he's simply letting the reader know that it ought to work better than it does and the failure is NOT on the citizenry, but on the deep pockets trying to escape blame. He wants you to know how they profit off the backs of the working class and he wants us to fight back together (and to keep recycling).
