We let it happen. You either put your foot down at the first instance of this thing or you lose any ability to do it because it eventually gets so big you can't stop it without some whole new technology. But there's always going to be people who say "how else are people going to pay for websites if not advertising" I say not my fucking problem. Just like robbing my free time with bullshit ads wasn't their problem.

Yea, you're not wrong. But doesn't disprove what I said.

Be better. This is foolish bullshit

I'm not sure if I have the strength to clutch these pearls any harder over these articles. I peaked 8 articles ago.

Being aggressively wrong is reddit shit.

Do they need laws for POC just to appear like they're not racist.

I've seen plenty of people that think laws specifically based on race is infantilizing.

I think I'm angry

The left don't focus on any of that nearly as much as the right. There has been no Republican owned media or politician that's gone a week without saying the word transgender in the past 7 years. They're obsessed. The left are just reactionaries responding to all the crazy shit the Republicans are doing like don't say gay laws and book burnings

Maybe its because people keep saying the Republicans hate them and then they come to find out that its not true. But also lots of minorities are very conservative in their beliefs. Plus Democrats and the left are very abrasive. Like saying the entire Republican party hates black people.

I fucking hate being left on issues because how much the left doesn't figure out the game.

On a post about AOC literally complaining about how effective the right is at suppressing voices on the left. You comment 'you know why AOC is a big dumb bitch'

But meteorite is very different than a satellite. So the weight is comparable but is the material being vaporized?

For instance a lot of things falling to earth is made up of silicates and magnesium. Satellites are a lot of specialized metals or things like aluminum.

Nothing is ever destroyed. We all saw this with ozone depletion where CFC were trapped and ripped through it in a continuous chemical reaction.

Like how well has this been studied. And are we certain we're not creating another unforseen ozone,CFC situation

Does all the burned gases fall back to earth?

Is vaporizing metal and raining or trapping it in the atmosphere benign?

I would like know what you think lobbying is?

Can you explain the steps or walk me through how its always certainly bribery.

🎲🎲

There should be a jacked up guy in a blazer screaming that socioeconomic barriers shouldn't be divided along race but somehow it is and how this relates to a proper meritocratic society

Shouldn't this be a problem that gets millions in funding. How many protestors are there willing to give up their time but not $5?

I don't understand the refusal by climate protesters to play the game that everybody from my dentist to the big industrial players play.

How did climate protester's get convinced that using the methods and tactics that work for every other industry should be avoided

Also, lobbying isn't bribery. Lobbying is part of the Democratic process. Its keeping your issues in front of the politician. Its arguing for your cause. Often times there is a think tank that compiles information like polling data. Lawyers build laws. and other information favorable to your issue is all compiled and then the lobbyist brings it to the politician where they convince the politician that if they champion your issue then it would benefit them. They present compiled information to support their argument.

Not sure why climate activists are yelling at art instead of lobbying. Some lobbying is straight up bribery. But often its more like I described above. Its doing all the leg work and arguing why a politician needs to be on your side. Industry figured it out long ago. Why haven't regular people

Isn't it also expensive to protest. These organizations constantly need to solicit funds for this stuff. If climate is an issue that globally there is a huge support to solve. How hard would it really be to higher a couple lawyers, some marketeers, a couple quant phd and start targeting politicians.

You say its expensive but I know of individual families that do this type of thing to change laws because they own businesses locally that need laws changed.

Why is it that a climate protestor is standing in roads screaming while tobacco is at dinner with the people making the laws.

I know the FBI often infiltrated organizations back in the 70s and directed them how to behave so that they couldn't grow and become bigger threats. They would get these groups to chase red herrings and look foolish burning energy on ineffective goals. That seems like its not talked about anymore. But when I see people throwing paint at works of art or fastening their own necks to industrial machinery while the blue collar every man labourer just trying to do his job has the controls, it reminds me of those stories from the 70s.

So how much money are we talking about? Because it seems like every industry except climate has their own

I don't get protesting for climate though. Isn't it better to solicit and use lobbyist like the crooked government, big tobacco and energy industry uses.

I've never seen a tobacco executive standing in front of a truck yet they get their way all the time.

When do climate activists act like bugs bunny and start mirroring behavior that's proven to work.

Advocates say race-conscious programs are necessary to combat institutional and societal disadvantages facing minority students, particularly in light of the Supreme Court’s decision.

I'm amazed at how I've never actually heard from one of these advocates. I get all the arguments for these programs. I'm just surprised I've seen journalists, benzo psychologist, tons of cage fighters all giving me reasons to oppose this stuff. Its shocking the only time I've heard people support it is either comments online or what I learned in a sociology class decades ago.

Why have we not seen a sociologist or really any other advocate with experience doing these circuits like podcasts or other media that educate on these things.
