So if someone is polluting the air my child and I breathe, and destroying the environment in which we live, and I use physical force to stop them, is that self-defense?
Usually but because it’s the environment then you would get labeled as a terrorist instead of being able to claim self defense. Sorry it looks like the corporations were more forward thinking and got some laws passed to label anything trying to protect the environment is now eco-terrorism.

Here is how ethics works:
Since we are in the latter case, it is not self defense. Too bad, so sad.
At this point, it feels less “morally allowed” and more “morally required” that we defend ourselves.
if we dont, we definitely deserve all we will get
It’s certainly feeling that way.
If you cook the rich over a wood burning fire, it would be a net savings in carbon emissions, hypothetically speaking.
My cauldron uses an induction stove powered by renewable energy.
Braised in wine, the way they’re accustomed to. Attempting to roast the rich doesn’t achieve a great result.
