Imagine what a soulless piece of shit excuse for a human being you have to be to know climate change is coming but instead of accepting that, you pour money into a political party which sows social discord among the population, spreads election misinformation, foments violent insurrectionist tendencies, promotes hate, and most importantly does absolutely fuck all to address or even acknowledge the significant threat to a livable future facing your kids and grandkids as a direct result of your business practices because hypothetically that costs you a little less than pivoting to a different climate-friendly business model and all those billions of dollars you can’t take with you into your grave and can’t reasonably spend in ten lifetimes will be ever so slightly less impacted for the brief amount of time you have in life so that you can take that money and give some of it to your shitty, entitled kids while spending more of it on your pet projects that amount to nothing, don’t make the world a better place, and leave your legacy as one that will be forgotten within weeks of your death.
It’s gonna be so funny if conservatives continue along with that line of thought and just eventually reinvent being Nazbols.
They know fiscal conservatism is wildly unpopular with younger people, so they’re pivoting to Nazbolism in a desperate attempt to attract a powerbase that’s not going to die off in the next 20 years.
And depressingly, I think there’s a decent chance it works. I know way too many young people who seem to be going down this pipeline IRL. Hoping I’m in a weird bubble, worried I’m not.
I think there’s a weird competitiveness among younger people who believe in Pink Capitalism and your proto-National Bolsheviks who are socially incredibly prurient and prescriptive but who loathe capitalism because of the transparent sense of destructive self-interest behind it. I personally dislike both of those systems, so I’m not sure who I’m rooting for in that particular ideological dogfight.
No shit.
Follow the money.
Always.
@dirtmayor it’s all about the money. Screw everything and everybody else.
Thorium Molten Salt Breeders please. A few per state… Probably even have sufficient leftover energy to do hydrogen fuel and CO2 recapture.
Solar on rooftops after that point to have more local generation to help the spikes like afternoon AC costs.
It’s a no-brainer regardless of which political party you’re part of.
I’m surprised both sides aren’t equally pissed at it. Regardless of how many token gesture and press opportunites brands take, it’s performative wank.
Dude, I don’t care how performative it is, if a company wants to millions into fighting climate change then I’m absolutely not gonna say no to it, not when so many lives are at stake.
Obviously. They’re in it because of the profit; the “woke war” is to drive people to vote for them against their own interests.
