Point went right over your head it seems. Toxins are toxins, regardless if they're organic or synthetic.

I expect much better from this sub than someone throwing more smokescreen at the problem.

The cigarette industry threw millions of dollars into slowing the research, into seeding doubt here and there, because each month of legal inaction from the government was one more full month of business for them. We know it, it's documented. Slowing the regulations is their business now.

The endgame of your "which aren't necessarily any better" is nothing else than pleading inaction because we are only sure at 99% and not 100%. So while you spend your time searching for this last percent I say we go organic.

You continue to ignore my point. I'm not defending synthetic pesticides. So stop the straw manning please, especially when I literally used the tobacco industry studies as an example in another comment chain yesterday.

We talk about 3 billions birds gone and all you can come up with is "toxins are toxins". A round of applause for the guy, please.

Smokescreen. Blur everything in the same smokescreen.

Alright. Please just shove your bullshit bad faith arguments where they belong and keep sniffing the toxins to make even more sense. You don't care about nature, you only care about virtue signaling and greenwashing. Go outside and give those birds some "green pesticides" and see how that will turn out.

I see you ragevoting my other comments in other magazines. At least you are having fun with the downvote button.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I did what you did. Don't blame me for playing your stupid games.

I tried blocking him but that apparently does not work.

Please do not involve me. Y'all can either add to the discussion or get off my thread.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You replied to me. lmao
You fucking trolls and I can't even get rid of you all. Already a clown show.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@DarkThoughts You are mistaken. I don't downvote comments. Only out of context threads.

@xuxebiko relax. we still talked about the very content of the article.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Mate, I literally did it after I saw you following through my profile and downvoting me in other places. Stop the trolling.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

We shouldn't be using organic pesticides either.
