Why did you wrote this comment instead of spending time to fix those problems you’ve mentioned?

Assumption.

Yeah, don't try to convince others, go fix global climate change by yourself. Are you lazy?

I think we would be a lot further in addressing climate change and most social problems if people did more of the later and less of the former.

Without advocating ideas die with the first person getting them. It's obvious that we both need to act, and encourage others to act as well. We have no reason to belive OP don't act, and advocating for acting is a noble act (as it is both uncomfortable and necessary)

I wasnt speaking about OPs action, but the statement they made. I think advocating without acting is an ignoble action, shallow, lazy, and selfish, and destructive.

It is usually people refusing to do any work and pay the cost, but telling others that they should do these things.

Most topics have no lack of advocating, and a large lack of people willing to take action.

In short, I think most advocates are hypocrites trying to exploit others.
