There was some article on my local news site about steps the council is taking to combat climate change.
Meanwhile, some guy in the comments saying “It’s lovely in my garden…”
Thanks, Nigel, you crusty old bastard. Few more years and we’ll be putting you in the cars, you fucking dinosaur.

If only they could actually make themselves that useful.

I don’t really like the conspiracy theory of the moon landing being fake next to mass surveillance after 9/11 - which really happened as shown by Snowden.
To deny things like e.g. the mass surveillance after 9/11 does not make us more believable and doesn’t make it more likely to convince climate change deniers.

bruh… You maybe missed the entire part where there are lots of people who think 9/11 was an inside job, false flag, whatever they think. Ever heard the phrase “jet fuel doesn’t melt steel beams”
That’s the reference here. Not that we went into a crazy surveillance state.

But the fact is that 9/11 , whatever kind of job was ( inside? External? Mixed? ) , was used to push a surveillance state, as they waited for the right occasion. As covid with lockdowns and cashless society push. The fear that climate change will be used to push other autoritarian measures it is not conspiracy, is a fact.

Only a crisis - actual or perceived - produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around. -Milton Freidman

Joe Biden famously claimed that the PATRIOT Act was based on his legislation, a counter-terrorism omnibus bill that had failed previously.
They always seem to have plenty of unsavory ideas “lying around.”

i think it would have worked if it had the word fake before disasters, implying the conspiracy theories that all of those were hoaxes made by the government instead of just being about the reactions to them

The denial of mass surveillance and mass control make climate change as a fake news. You deny mass surveillance, so your theory is fake.

Is that a real belief or an exaggeration?

Unfortunately a real belief of a sitting congresswoman.

The leading Democratic mischief-maker is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who advocates some left-wing views I consider simplistic and impractical and, in some cases, poll badly. The top example of a conservative mischief-maker, presented in perfect symmetry, is Marjorie Taylor Greene.
This author is like Shrodinger’s dumbass: I can’t tell whether he’s being facetious or if he’s actually pulling the BoTh SiDEs card, as if these two reps are even remotely comparable.

Oh, for sure. Just the first thing that came up.
Exaggeration… buuut, remember when people said Billy Gates put 5G microchips in the vaccine? We’re not that far.
