So that's why all the conservatives are laughing and cheering. I was wondering why they were celebrating. They are accomplishing their mission of killing us all.

Owning the libs will become the most common cause of death of conservatives.

"Them libs want to protest the climate issue? Well fuck em, let's burn more oil and make more profit for those companies! That'll show them snowflake protestors!"

This is literally the mindset we're up against. They've been brainwashed so hard into "owning libs", and have their tongues so far up billionaire's arseholes, they have lost any sense of empathy, sympathy, and basic intelligence. We're all fucked.

Part of the problem with being socially minded is that your representatives tend to be less inclined to abuse their power to disingenuously manipulate useful idiots. We'd rather educate them than manipulate them, but they're too stupid to know the difference.

Also of everyone else.

Don't worry, they're gearing up for the "Climate change is real, but we just need to genocide more of the people with a <100kg/yr carbon footprint to fix it" chapter of dogshit rhetoric soon.

They'll never say that in good faith because it's the rich that have the biggest carbon footprints.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

My point is they'll (continue to) blame the people whose carbon footprints are <1% of theirs and would be manageable for centuries and advocate for genocide as a solution.

Currently blaming the global south is just used to deflect.

Killing everyone will kill more liberals than conservatives, so it's a net positive for them!
