@villavelius@mastodon.online @albertcardona@mathstodon.xyz Why go after individuals, when you can go after institutions? As with the climate crisis, I have become very skeptical of the individual responsibility slant that lets the big players get off the hook: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/aug/23/big-oil-coined-carbon-footprints-to-blame-us-for-their-greed-keep-them-on-the-hook Mandates on individual authors remind me a bit of the "carbon footprint" campaign of BP - at least they seem to have analogous effects in that too few people are thinking of how to accomplish systemic change.
