The terrorists should be eliminated. We can all agree. So let’s start with the ones who kill, injure, and starve the most people— in that case, the Is...
Majority are sensible. Even 5% is too high, but so be it. You and a handful of other apologists are to be expected. It’s repulsive, but I don’t waste ...
Likud wants Palestinians dead or out of the way. October 7th, which itself was a reaction to Israeli policies in Gaza, was a gift towards this end. Th...
They will fry, yes. But their economy relies on fossil fuel extraction and export, especially to China — so they’ve delayed and continue to delay, alt...
Yes, and becoming smaller. At least in the world. True, fossil fuel states have higher rates — US, Australia, probably Saudi Arabia, Russia, etc. But ...
Yes, and it’s all both dangerous and immoral. There’s a spectrum of Holocaust denial too, and I likewise have no interest in engaging seriously with a...
No, they won’t. Climate deniers are like creationists. It doesn’t matter how nicely you present evidence or argue your case. Carl Sagan was doing it r...
Good. They never intended to cooperate anyway, because they deny there’s a problem. Fuck ‘em. Indeed— and we see this all over. The conversion to a be...
If there’s an issue with moderation, take it up in feedback. I have no clue what you’re referring to and don’t mod threads or conversations I’m involv...
The only real question left is how we’re going to solve this existential problem. The solutions are already being employed and they’re worth looking a...
Not everyone deserves respect, besides the basic acknowledgement of being human. The rest is earned. And some people really are idiots. Judging from t...
Great post. Some thoughts… Yes— and it’s just obvious from experience. It’s dead from lack of physical communication as you mention, but also dead in ...
Good one. I deeply miss Sagan. With Chomsky on his way out, I’m running out of heroes. “Who’ll be my role model, now that my role model is gone, gone…...
Well this thread took an unexpected positive turn. Glad to see it. Only disappointed the contrast between one’s internet persona and that of the real ...
How fortunate we all are to be led down the shining path of empathy and compassion (and effectiveness) from an internet rando…who is exceedingly ineff...
I know it’s hypothetical. But it seems in keeping with a general trend. We’ve disagreed before, yes. I don’t like Biden, but Trump is still worse. You...
It’s kind of interesting watching people convince themselves into voting for Trump, almost out of spite. As if that’s the answer to awful Biden admini...
Trump had supported Israel's far right government to the very end, and no doubt would again. If you’re not familiar with his policies, there’s plenty ...
You painted it as two choices, between a supporter of genocide and a narcissist. That’s not true. The other guy indeed does it too, even more brutally...
Not at all. Unless one defines capitalism as exclusively the most destructive form ever known. Other countries are doing much better than we are, and ...
Because you weren’t nice enough. Instead of saying “hey I agree this is important, but your approach may be counterproductive — anyway, here are some ...
It’s very interesting doing a Google search of “climate change is a hoax.” Plenty of moronic stuff from all kinds of bullshit sources. So very interes...
Man talks to God. He says, “God, how long to you is 500 thousand years?” God says, “A second.” “And God, how much to you is $500 million dollars?” God...
Honestly, the thing that stands out in my perception is your name— which I like— and the fact that you usually write well and are fairly unassuming. I...
Yep. Which is why at the end of the day, all they have is feelings. When pointed out, they naturally accuse you of having nothing but feelings, and I’...
:chin: There’s a dozen or so people who are certainly above average. But there’s a lot of morons too. But those dozen or so make it worthwhile— far mo...
