End the corrupt merger of state and corporate power. End the forever wars. Clean up the environment. Fund science to identify the causes of problems, not just to develop new ways to monetize treatment.
PS. An article making a big deal over the fact that he paid vendors? Thanks CNN.
The guy who you think wants to “clean up the environment” told Jordan Peterson that governments were using the climate crisis to control people. So why would he use the power of government to clean up the environment?
Also, I have no idea what you think science is, but it isn’t that.
If you actually listen to him talk rather than just fishing for gotchas, you’d see he points out that the government currently operates in the name of corporations - subsidies, liability protection, use of force. This is a big part of the problem in the ongoing proliferation of fossil fuel extraction and consumption. It’s not as irrational as you make it out to be, to defend personal individual rights while still directing the power of government to clean up the environment.
I was not “fishing for gotchas.” I heard the discussion. He was using denialist talking points. And Peterson was even more so with no pushback from Kennedy.
No pushback? The video you linked shows him leading with the fact that global warming is real and significant. And in other videos he has expanded more on that, clearly stating that it is an existential risk.
But in this video, he said that this (real) crisis could/would be used to further totalitarian controls. That’s not denial, that’s “yes and”.
As I mentioned, it’s rational to defend personal individual rights while still directing the power of government to clean up the environment.
That’s absolutely a denial. That is not the real crisis. The real crisis is the possible end of humanity due to climate change, caused by humanity.
The real crisis is the possible end of humanity due to climate change, caused by humanity.
Obviously. But you are aware that there can be multiple crises at once, and that some people may be more aware of / concerned about one than the other?
And yet RFK doesn’t think the most important one is actually the most important. And uses denialist talking points. And doesn’t challenge the person in the room with him when he also uses denialist talking points.
He’s a moderate Republican running as a Democrat. Absurd. This country keeps sprinting towards the right wing.
Idk if I would call him any kind of Moderate
Republicans in America are fascists and extremely right-wing - so a moderate one is both of those things.
All major parties in America are right wing. So he’s fascist/authoritarian friendly 100%.
Anti vaxers?! The HORROR!
How dare he defy the gods of pharma and question the will of the party.
Please explain how smallpox was eliminated.
Get out with your body autonomy bullshit. We should ban any body autonomy!
