That's normal. That's what normal people do... Right? Right!?
People simply can't/won't hear it. Society is clinging to any doubt or contrary viewpoint (and oil companies and their paid shills provide plenty) because it is difficult to envision the delicate and finite nature of our situation. Triggered methane releases are currently ratcheting up the warming, you can't refreeze the permafrost, it rapidly cooks the planet.
No one wants to believe it, but this is the end unless dramatic changes are made. Having children, at this juncture, with what we know, is profoundly selfish. And folks cannot accept this, let alone, the changes that must be made, systemically, for society to survive.
Bake 'em away toys! Case closed!
I agree with you, but it's important to address the elephant in the room of our absolute stockpile of and the ease of access to weapons of war. Not just pdw or hunting, you can get some really cool shit, with less effort than it takes to get your license in many places.
I like guns the same way I like high end fireworks/ordinance, they are definitely fun, but it shouldn't be so easy to get them and the folks who base their identity around them are sad/scary af.
This kills the oxygen generating phytoplankton, and in turn, basically everything larger than a mouse.
I agree with you, but PFAS/"Forever Chemicals" and micro/nano plastics are different things with their own host of concerns.
Uhh, Trump was the protest vote for a lot of people, unfortunately (Defifuckinlutely not me). Also, soooo few people vote, particularly in non-presedential year elections.
I always strategically vote for the best candidate, and live in a state which allows me to do so without impacting chances of the (more) fascist candidate winning the general election.
Lead is a neurotoxin that builds up over time when ingested and significantly impacts brain development... It's funnier when we explain it.
Spending a generation generating (via Liberty U Law) and packing the courts at all levels has paid vile dividends for the fascists and their corporate financiers.
The number of SCOTUS who advocated for W in Bush v. Gore is both appalling, and telling. Fuck just accepting that our judges are overtly corrupt, all while these fucks tout being the party of "rule of law"...
Folks, if you see something, say something. We have to continually call out the tyranny and the bullshit or they normalize it. That's how the fascists win!
What about whataboutism?

That is downright bizarre!
"Between the lines: In the aftermath, members remain divided on whether it was right for NABJ to extend the invitation and give a platform to Trump. Some said it was embarrassing; others praised the interviewers for their tough questioning.
Brittany Cummings, a communications professional, was among the members who didn't think the organization should have extended the invitation to Trump. "I'm not sure that any group of journalists has the 'secret sauce' to make him tell the truth and speak as a normal candidate would," she said. "He's not a normal candidate, so we can't treat him as such." "During the actual discussion, he was disrespectful, and I don't think there was anything new to learn.""
