Remember when climate change was identified for the past 60 years and people just ended up buying bigger houses, bigger cars, and consuming more?
Awesome, hopefully they'll do it to all the others. Maybe take a few oligarch yachts with them along for the ride to the briny deep.
I didnt claim they were adorable all the time, but they're cute as shit when they're floating on their backs and washing themselves. Dolphins are cute too, and they'll rape anything that isn't bolted down.
They're fucking adorable, are you kidding me? That just doesn't bypass the fact that it's a wild animal that doesn't give a fuck about your instagram stories or your need to pet it.
What do you mean? I can't think of anything more stable than a grown man burning children's dolls on the internet after watching a movie based on a toy designed for 6-12 year old girls.
Christians are often times the least Christ-like people you'll ever meet.
It didn't "infect" anything. It was always here. I noticed it when I moved from Vancouver to Calgary as a kid. If you live in one of Canada's three major cities, you just aren't exposed to it, but the second you get into the suburbs or further, it's on full display. There's a reason we had Harper for an entire decade, gagging scientists, cutting corporate taxes, cuts to education and health care, and driving profits into the hands of the rich.
Latinos subscribe heavily to the machismo personality = good, and that any threat against it is a threat to their existence. They are raised religious with heavy incentive on strong family structures, something that conservatives use as a weapon to curry favor.
Asians tend to be extremely conservative, particularly Chinese immigrants. They grew up in an authoritarian world, and view the progressive policies of the West as antithetical to their own. They don't care if Trump is a racist, or blames them for the Kung Flu, because he represents their views on what a government should be.
Stop calling them conservatives. This level of ultranationalism has fascist written all over it.
The both sides message is particularly insidious because it takes a real criticism and then equates it with something that is potentially much worse. It does nothing but limit options, and breeds nihilistic cynicism and nothing more. The worst part about it is that it is based on an absolute lie: the idea of both sides being the same doesn't make any fucking sense, because in this world nothing is the same. If it was the same, it wouldn't need to have a distinction. It's an argument against progress, and therefore a wholly conservative viewpoint in that it states that rather than choosing the best of the two options to not bother at all. To stay the same, or even revert.
It's totally dystopian and reminds me of Russian propaganda, which is designed to erode faith in everything, so that the people in power can make the decisions while the people feel helpless.
Things will never get better. When we can't sustain an industrial society then people will start murdering each other for the dwindling resources we have left. This is the best it's going to ever be in anyone alive's lifetime.
