It’s bullshit like this that really makes me want to give them real reason to fear “ecoterrorists”. The main problem is that I lack money to buy an attack helicopter to blow up their mansions, cars, yachts and other shit.
A game like Just Cause where you’re supposed to blow up those things would be cathartic as fuck

Gonna skirt right round the serious discussion about oil company based misinformation here and point out that his suit is an extreme act of terror on the seeing.

Norway
Holy shit, that’s some impressive conservative bullshit!
Breivik is OPENLY a ‘Cultural’ Christian, he made his reasons very clear. He wrote a damn manifesto, here’s an analysis of it:
Christian Terror in Europe? The Bible in Anders Behring Breivik’s Manifesto
In the attempts to understand the ideology underpinning the terror attack in Norway 22nd July 2011, and the growth of far-right extremism in Europe more generally, Christianity and the uses of the Bible are a largely neglected feature. In this article, I examine the way in which the Bible is used in Anders Behring Breivik’s manifesto, arguing that this provides an important example of the role of Christianity in far-right discourse. I show that the Bible functions as a legitimating device, glossing violence as defense of a Christian Europe; as a motivational instrument, positing God as a fellow fighter; and, as an origin for Europe. The Bible is situated in a pre-modern state where its signifying powers are policed. At the same time, it is wrenched out of this solidified framework, cut up and pasted into the manifesto hypertext in order to serve as a contemporary ally to an anti-Muslim and anti-multicultural cause.
This is right up Jordan Peterson’s alley.
Small edit:
a screenshot from his manifesto:

My mate has signed up for the ‘university’, cost him like 600$ for access to the courses… Kinda given up on him, he’s drunk the flavor aid of the “woke cancel-culture is ruining the world” bullshit.

Start? That’s what Donald Trump did in the office. And technically has been happening long before that, just not that brazingly.

It’s not surprising to see a man funded by big oil and other anti-progressive establishments peddling bullshit that teaches people how to be complacent idiots that punch down at the poor, non-Christian, and trans communities.

it’s not just complacent - it’s worse than that - it’s dehumanising… it’s active; complacency is passive

The Wilks brothers are huge investors/funders of PragerU, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz’s 2016 campaign, and are the reason The Daily Wire even exists. Jordan Peterson is now on their payroll.

Not sure what he’s considered but he has a bunch of videos and material on the Daily Wire, including stuff that’s behind a subscription model.

How could one compare the two? They are so different. Climate activists are dangerous criminals that must be stopped at all cost, even if that includes criminalising carrying glue in public. Mass shooters on the other hand are just a fact of life. How would we even try to stop them? By criminalising carrying a firearm in public?

What makes you think I was being sarcastic?
- apotheotic (she/her) ( @apotheotic@beehaw.org ) English2•2 hours ago
Calling mass shooters a fact of life, implying we can’t ban guns, calling climate activists dangerous criminals. But I’m autistic so I can’t tell if its sarcasm or if you genuinely hold those beliefs.
