    Western media has perpetrated a dangerous myth: that individual actions alone can solve the climate crisis. This narrative deliberately ignores the systemic roots of the problem, shifting the burden onto individuals while corporations and oligarchs continue with business as usual.

    Individual actions are utterly dwarfed by the impact of industrial pollution, unsustainable agriculture, and fossil fuel extraction. We’ve been tricked into focusing on recycling while the planet burns. The truth is, our entire economic system, built on the insatiable hunger for constant growth and consumption, is fundamentally incompatible with a livable planet.

    The powerful have masterfully manipulated public perception, diverting attention from the true drivers of the climate crisis. This propaganda campaign protects their profits while undermining the urgent need for systemic change. We’re being gaslit into believing we’re the problem, not the system.
