I don't think people realize how far the NRA has gone to block ANY legislation that will reduce gun sales. We have bad gun laws not because of the lack of effort from government, but specifically how much effort the NRA has put in to stop it.

They went bankrupt funding progun policy.

America, after spending an insane level of resources and decades of man power to make someone say a phrase: HA! GOT EM!

That's a list of a bunch of trucks compared to a midsized SUV, so you're kind of proving yourself wrong. Cars are split into weight classes, so a comparison that doesn't acknowledge that isn't very useful. A EV Sedan is on average much heavier than an ICE sedan.

No one's saying ICE vehicles are better for the environment than EVs

You're getting down voted but you're right. I don't think people realize that most tires are now made from synthetic rubber, AKA plastic.

Also someone tried to disprove you by posting a list with ICE trucks being as heavy as EV cars. Like what? Of course trucks are heavier. EV Trucks are even heavier than that and an EV subcompact will be much heavier than an ICE compact. Also everyone is talking about how trucks and SUVs are getting heavier and bigger. So not sure what they mean by "we never talk about this with trucks!"

Recommended the book "How to Blow Up a Pipeline" by Andreas Malm so you can explain to your boomer parents why this kind of protest is necessary and why violence against private property is an effective and necessary means of gaining justice.

Show them their out numbered. Make it as uncomfortable as possible for them to express their opinions in public. They believe that they're the silent majority, so if you make them see that they're not, it's something.

Take them seriously. Show them that we're taking them seriously and won't allow them to seize power.

It doesn't. Pointing out the contradictions in fascism doesn't stop fascism because they don't care about contradictionss. They care about enforcing an authoritarian ideology on everyone, and to that end everything is permissable. As long as they're still intent on securing power, their followers don't care. It's not about being right or making sense. It's about seizing power by any means. In a democracy, that means saying whatever bullshit you have to to keep your followers engaged.

Making fun of them for their contradictions does nothing to stop them. Not taking fascist movements seriously and expecting them to go away because their beliefs are silly is what Germany did when Hitler was rising to power. It's not a good strategy.

Idk man that sounds pretty macabre. Are you sure you're not going for a goth chick? /s

Being miserable is kind of our thing.

PTSD: The game

That's why he needed such a high compensation package from tesla lol.

Lol get rekt fossil fuel barons

The most insidious part of this is people will say, "any price to keep us safe." Nevermind that a resource draining military is a catch22 proven idiotic by history time and time again, and we shouldn't be funding it at all. The money we are spending is absolutely not going to keep us safe. It goes to the heads of weapons manufacturers so that they can manipulate governments into buying their products and provke wars to create demand. As a veteran i can tell you it sure as shit doesn't go towards paying members of the military, it doesn't go towards buying top of the line equipment to keep us safe, and definitely not towards maintaining the broke ass equipment that the military has now. Even if you like the military, the best thing you can do is to topple the military industrial complex and advocate for less spending.

Sounds like they've entered the, "find out," stage.

I mean most things can, it just isn't profitable...

Definitely a high calorie food.

as a completely cis dude,

That kurtzgesagt video gets closer to true every day.

With the way things are going, maybe we should stop letting god plan things. He kinda sucks at it. In fact, letting god plan anything seems to be as bad as not planning at all.
