There’s already been a vetting process to weed out some resolutions, but this one made it through, which suggests “someone in the party thinks that this is worth debating,” Young said.

“I think this reminds us that the base of the UCP is host to a pretty substantial group of people who do not believe that climate change is real, or they don't believe that it is driven by human activity, and they think that any actions taken to transition away from fossil fuels are unnecessary.”

Blaming individuals for what is a systemic failure could make them less receptive to change.

Ironically, that's almost exactly how I feel about trump/conservative voters.

Were I trying to actually change people's future grammar, I'd totally agree.

But to elaborate on what I said earlier, if someone is going to come flying in from the top rope with some childish/boring "everyone with whom I disagree is a stupid/racist/evil" well, I don't particularly care about the convo anymore, I'll tag them as a waste, let myself correct their grammar, respond however and move on, ignoring their comments when I see them in other threads.

I generally don't correct grammar until I'm already annoyed. But once someone is a silly, well, as the Emperor urged, I give into my anger.

Lemmy has interesting folks like yourself but also a lot of not particularly interesting children.
