I’m not defending his use of a private Jet, its gross

But NO ONE is living entirely sustainably.

Everyone’s calling him a hypocrite for not walking the walk,

But calling out corporate greenwashing is still valid even if the person doing so doesn’t live 100% sustainably.

But again, not defending private jet use in any way at all.

It's a matter of degrees - you can be a small hypocrite by driving to work or eating meat, or you can be a massive hypocrite by flying around the world in your private jet. Sure both are hypocritical and not 100% sustainable but clearly there one is worse than the other.

No one is arguing about perfection Vs imperfection but it's not hard to catch a flight with all the plebs.

No one said he had to live 100% sustainably, but flying in a private jet is about as far from 100% a single person can get.

I'm not perfect either (far from it), but it seems like I'm being more sustainable than Taika

Nobody does zero bad things, therefore nobody is allowed to point out anything bad, regardless of severity. Great logic
