While there is certainly nothing wrong with making individual low-carbon choices, I am increasingly concerned with how the #actonclimate movement is emphasizing individual lifestyle over collective action. There are two problems with this (thread).https://twitter.com/EricHolthaus/status/1080273931955814400 …
Here, here! I am very much in agreement with you. I think you and I are orientated toward collective action. But many of our fellow citizens are not. That's why I was reacting so passionately to framing that emphasizes individual over collective action.

But again, I think we are violently agreeing. :)

Who is not oriented to collective action? Do we believe we need them based on the history of collective action? I don’t want to signal to our fellow collective action enthusiasts that they should not experience self transformation. We must change everything, including ourselves

Many of us aren't. And I believe we need as many of us as we can possibly get. "We must change everything, including ourselves" <-- whole-heartedly agree.
