Our demand for disposable tech junk and cheap Chinese trinkets is the corporations fault.

Yes, it is. With wages being paid by corporations so low and absolute necessities such as food, shelter, and medicine so expensive, most of us can't afford anything better.

Tech corporations made cryptocurrency and set up crypto farms?

They literally did, yes.

most of the rest is on us. We did it. We fucked ourselves

we meme about climate change on Twitter, as it single handedly eats enough power to run a town.

Nope. No real person uses "enough power to run a town" to meme. That's corporations and billionaires you're thinking of.

Lie to yourselves all you want

Nah, no need. We have you for that.
