I don’t think he’s commenting in bad faith, you both basically agree with each other.

Where the source
It sucks you feel afraid to comment, I definitely understand how you feel. Even if someone responds to you in a hostile way I’ve seen the rest of the community come in for support. And really, report bad actors. Having a good community isn’t easy.
Thanks for providing a positive perspective! It’s really important we don’t lose sight of the good things.
Pi holes could still circumvent this, no? At a high level you’d need a computer to load a page, strip all the garbage, and forward the remaining page to the client. Any drm keys could be retained I would expect?
Tax meat, subsidize healthy meat alternatives.
“Karen” is a term to make white women feel isolated and side with right wingers. Any woman who complains about anything, valid or not, can be easily dismissed as just another Karen
To somehow analogize that to trans people is so fucking weird.
I’m going to see spiderman a second time later this week. It’s such a good movie.
Nice! We went to a trampoline park and it was a blast.
Yeah sorry I really meant just look at how long it took for coal to START to die.
Nuclear is such a no-brainer I can’t really understand why we don’t have more development. I assume its lobbying and initial investment costs but I don’t know for sure.
The fact that clean energy is cheaper without subsidies makes the whole corrupt apparatus even more apparent. Oil and gas beg congress to end subsidies for cleaner solutions because they’re having to compete which is a bad woke thing.
Just look at how long it took coal to die. And now we have “cleaner” nat gas which turns out causes more acute warming than CO2. And rather than convert to a sustainable solution they double down and green wash.
Removing pipelines would just let them raise prices and get richer but honestly if it curbs consumption it’s a net positive.
It’s not a conspiracy theory if it’s obviously true
It feels criminal, like a gang initiation. You work for an oil and gas company? You’ve got blood on your hands now, too.
Agree that we all need to change and pressure each other to change.
There are a lot of bots getting through and they make these kinds of terrible bad faith arguments. Just report them and don’t engage imo
Yeah you’re right, didn’t mean to say that doesn’t already happen. Even Amazon has made it an option to have your delivery be delayed to be more “green” while they pocket the cost savings themselves.
Yep. Taxing is the logical solution that fits within capitalism, and yet corporations are so vested in the machine they realize it’s cheaper to spend money to lobby and advertise against it.
It’s a busted system that needed correcting decades ago, and here we are.
It’s so strange to see all the comments here defending CNN of all things.
Imagine a game where you can buy sustainable, ethically sourced resources for $5 and unethically sourced resources for $3. The manual tells you it’s nice of you to buy ethically sourced but there’s no governmentally enforced consequences. Which ones are you going to buy as a consumer?
Now worse, which ones are you going to buy as a downstream corp CEO? Your shareholders demand maximum profit and you are required to give them maximum profit. Justifying that you’re “doing your part” for the environment gets you thrown out as CEO.
At the end of this game, it’s cheaper, and necessary, to buy the shit that kills us all.
People unironically saying we’re all to blame. No shit, the system is designed so we are all complicit. It takes authoritative intervention to prevent corps from using and selling unethical and unsustainable products. You could also tax it for things like carbon emissions
Shortest answer to the problem. Corps would LOVE if they could charge some people more for environmentally friendly shit while shoving more plastic in the ocean and carbon in the atmosphere for everyone who doesn’t and will never give a shit.
I feel I always have to remind people that “libertarians” don’t have to be huge deregulators. A real libertarian is staunchly anti monopoly and DESIRES government intervention when there are issues with public goods (like pollution, competition, or safety) issues involved.
The right wing libertarians coopted the party sadly
Whenever my stomach hurts i’ll remember some recommendation that you’re supposed to sleep on your left or right side.
But I never remember which so I just rotate back and forth
