It will never stop being absurd to me that so called “fiscal conservatives” can’t seem to understand what a limited resource is. Or pollution.
Even if global warming was a complete hoax we should still be transitioning. Every nation that doesn’t have immense oil reserves should be transitioning! It’s literally in your national interests you nationalist fuckwits!
Reality is a team sport, to some people. They don’t mean things when they say words. They’re just signalling loyalty to their ingroup hierarchy, and playing a dominance game where they get to decide what’s true. It’s not a judgement call. In their worldview there is no objective means to evaluate claims. There’s just whatever their guy says, and whatever our guy says, and their guy is right because he’s their guy.
So please stop falling for it when they declare themselves fiscal experts. They don’t give the slightest shit. They’re just shuffling cards. It’s another song and dance they do, to grasp for narrative legitimacy. Nothing else exists in their moral universe.
“Fiscal conservative” was always just a reputable seeming veneer for “we’d rather let poor people die than tax the wealthy at the same rate as everyone else”.
