Asheville NC and Western NC has been destroyed by hurricane Helene and flooding. People are saying the same boring tired things there and sharing the same misinformation.
This is just ordinary weather which happens all the time.
The only thing we can do is pray.
Climate change isn’t real
This is dangerous to say things like this because it makes people believe that there’s no climate change, and that is ordinary and expected when that’s not even remotely true. It’s leading people to ignorantly become complacent, not contact their government, and when disasters like hurricanes happen, they don’t evacuate because they don’t believe it’ll be serious.
I started commenting on everything telling people that climate change is causing these issues and got the most unhinged glue-sniffer responses ever like
‘this has always been like this’ or ‘liberal snowflake tears’
and the worst ones are always religious.
‘we can’t do anything to save our planet, you need to pray. Send your prayers’
God didn’t create this issue? We are ruining our planet!
Example 1. We now have to surround hospital in Tampa Florida with a literal fucking wall just for ordinary storms

@Kevin R. Sullivan:Hurricanes have nothing to do with climate change
Deranged comments like this are very dangerous and spread false misinformation

Capitalism is the problem. Profit driven anything is just a symptom.

I blame profit driven SM only so far as that in an effort to appeal to a wider audience, they have succeeded and now there are even more people online using them so we actually have a closer look at reality and how there’s a shitton of people who don’t see the reality of climate change anywhere.
That effort to appeal is by boosting ragebait to get engagement and foster addiction to the platform, in order to sell more ads.
Hence, morons get a bigger megaphone and groupthink takes over. See also the rise of Nazis/nationalism, etc.
Line go up, corpo no care
