Bro back in the 90s my car would be blanketed in dead bug guts even from a short drive. Now its pristine after a long trip. We are devastating everything
The whole death drive angle baffles me. If you’re a right winger with clout and you aren’t trying to rules lawyer the Rapture, you’re trying to become a post-apocalypse feudal lord. Pisses me off
It really is amazing that the tech scene as a whole is devoid of intellectualism, even though the whole idea of tech was built on that in the first place.
Honestly, they'll probably just pretend that it has always been like that or pivot to some other stupid explanation for it. Anything to deny that this was a problem we could have done something about.

Pisses me off, seeing as I’m one of the people who’d be left holding the bag and having to live with the world their doomed prophecy and/or delusions of grandeur would produce
Democrats accept it yet they also are trapped within the confines of what is possible in a liberal capitalist empire which means nothing is done. So they protest, they ensure that the fact it is an issue is /SEEN/ and that they are /seen/ being on the right side of it but do nothing or enact plans that were supposed to be enacted 30 years ago to actually work and are far too little, too late now.
So yes eventually even reactionaries will accept it but then they'll pull the Google CEO move which is to say well it's too late now so might as well double down on AI and other pollution and hope some technology of ours magics up a solution for us and then when that doesn't work in 20-25 years and the worst of it is hitting they'll say we had no way of knowing and blame China and various bad guys and a few token dead white people who are beyond the reach of any justice.
We're heading over the cliff, we're over the cliff and one of the drivers insists it's just a dip in the road while the other horrified is scolding them for driving off the cliff but insisting they needed to take that turn they missed when they headed over the cliff, they're insistent that they take it at the next opportunity despite that option of course being long past.
what he's saying is stupid bullshit but I cannot help but respect it more than hand-wringing liberals who claim to care and then work against any attempt to confront capital
I think you can make an argument that pig-headed open climate science denial like that Trump spews is less dangerous than the more sophisticated and deceptive climate science denial that western liberals promote, where they claim to "believe the science" but all they do is to give a few handouts to the EV sector and maybe fund a few bazinga carbon capture projects in the hope that they can do green capitalism.
With the former it is easy to see that it is complete bullshit and that you have to look elsewhere for a sensible answer but the latter looks superficially sensible and convinces a lot of people who genuinely care about climate change that the adults in the room are stepping up and that a bazinga wizard will fix it.
There are islands in the Chesapeake Bay full of Trump voters that have about 80 years before they're completely permanently flooded. Smith and Tangier islands.
Hehehehe and you stupid commies say Camilla Harrisson is just as bad! As VP she resigned the Paris Agreement doncha know! Yes the agreement doesn't do anything or require anything, it's just a meaningless "pledge", but they did sign it! Better than what Trump did! They have also fracked more! Better than what Trump did! You stupid commies
