    It’s terrifying how easy it is to manipulate a population that’s so biscously anti intellectual.

    This is the dunning Kruger effect in real life. They’re too stupid to understand science so they assume science doesn’t make any sense.

    I’m sure they would consider it a waste to “measure bubbles in antarctic sea ice” because they don’t understand that’s what climate models are based on and vindicated by. And even if they did understand it theyd still be against it.

    It’s tough because obviously as communists you have to try to maintain a belief everybody is deserving of basic dignity and respect but then you see somebody yell “don’t you fucking tell me what to do” as they climb over the “do not enter, high voltage” sign of a substation.

    It’s a lot harder to maintain the belief that any loss of life is a tragedy when you have a guy in a klan robe saying it’s their constitutional right to to wrap their lips around the exhaust pipe of a diesel truck specifically modified to cause as many emissions as humanly possible.

      That’s nice and all, but progress isnt tied to the idea that trash needs to be respected. It is more important that every deserving personlive a decent life than it is to give those animals what they well and truly deserve (which is what we are all currently getting anyway). They should get a standard minimum quality of life because it is the easiest way to ensure those that do deserve it get it.
