You’re clearly misreading the post.

I’m willing to bet many people here started their radicalization because of the Sanders campaign 5 years ago, and certainly many Qanon people weren’t that into politics before Trump. The time frame makes perfect sense.

I mean… it’s been 6 years. Very possible that she was fairly reasonable and he was apolitical 6 years ago, and they both moved in opposite directions from there.

There were legitimately socialist/anarchist/egalitarian sentiments in Europe at the time, but certainly calling the capitalists right wing at the tome of the Boston Tea Party is a bit nonsensical.

I’m dating a lib, but she’s for M4A, trans rights, etc, so it’s really just the capitalism bit and to what extent we should tolerate shitheads that we disagree on, so it’s not as bad as defending slavery, but honestly it’s not too bad.

Real talk, I’m here to shitpost, read shitposts, and every now and then be there to offer/receive support to/from the great people here. This is not going to be an effective organizing platform.

I believe starting in the 70’s and continuing into the 80’s and 90’s, people were talking about a new ice age caused by widespread use of aerosols, and between the 40’s and the 70’s, there was some cooling happening, and some scientific papers suggested this would continue, though they were in the minority even at that time, as the effects of GHG’s were expected to overtake the cooling caused by aerosols by basically any reasonable model even back then… However, the “ice age” story was signal boosted by a lot of people in the MSM at the time. So, if you dad formed his opinion on the topic in the mid 70’s and just never really looked into it or was never really reading scientific papers, it’s easy that he just thought the one article he read on the topic from Time or Newsweek was still relevant…

Or it could just be the MAGA chuds at his work… and maybe they read it once in Time or Newsweek in the mid 70’s… Or they just made it up because they needed to combat the ACC science.

Individuals abstaining from meat won’t, but ending animal agriculture (at least to the extent it happens now) has to happen one way or the other or we’re fucked, and the more people who eat meat, the harder it is to do that.

They aren’t banned words, you just can’t call someone a simp, incel, or virgin as an insult.

Honestly, that probably depends on the makeup of the legislature next year, in the US at least. This is absolutely the kind of thing that should have a price ceiling or be provided free of charge, but I could see the GOP legit letting then price gouge the shit out of it.
