It’s not going to stop the catastrophic six degree rise that will sterilize all life on Earth. We might reach that limit by 2030 at the rate we’re going.

Don’t be stupid. Even if we throw all nuclear weapons we have, we cannot destroy all life on Earth.

That’s what we thought in the late 90s. Climate science has been updated since then,and the future is much more frightening than we realized. At this rate the planet could be warmed by ten degrees by the year 2100.

Yet our government has chosen to silence people rather than mitigate the greatest disaster in 4.5 BILLION YEARS.

Do you understand what it means “all life”?

Yes. There used to be life on Venus too, but runaway climate change turned that planet into 900 degree hellscape.

Ignoring me is not going to stop the methane currently trapped in permafrost from annihilating eight billion people over the next 50 years.

I can’t believe this is really the end.

Why did I have to live in the last years of humanity? Fate is sadistic, always making sure I live in the absolute worst nightmare scenario possible, and then turn it up a hundredfold. This planet is going to be sterilized by global warming because of president Trump, probably within my lifetime. We are all naked in the gas chambers, and I’m the only person who realizes this.

Also, what about poor conservatives or rich anti-conservatives? Why am I wasting my time arguing with this?

Poor conservatives are brainswahed by the elite, and rich anti-conservatives are just overcompensating for their inherent sociopathy. All of history’s tragedies stem from wealth, and the ideologies used to justify it.

moviefreakedmind said:

The idea that your future was robbed by Trump is like a parody of the most insane anti-Trump people.

Here’s a fact: all rich and/or conservative people are inherently evil, and want all poor people to die.

Humanity died when Trump was elected president. There is absolutely nothing we can do to stop it, and I am so angry that my future was robbed from me like this.

God was cruel to make me live in the last decades of the human race. We will not survive this.

This is what I partially feel like on a particularly bad day. I never try to let that nihilism be so blatant, though. Humanity’s been through much worse. Though we’re certainly in a decline right now, we’ll survive.

We’ve never faced runaway climate change like this at any point in the last 12,000 years of human history. We have at best a three year window to avoid the absolute worst doomsday scenario in the planet’s history. Trump is outright censoring scientists as we speak, and he’s been in office less than week! He has already surpassed our worst imaginations, and it certainly won’t be hyperbolic to contemplate what damage he could do in his first hundred days.

That’s not doomsaying. That’s how protesters are dealt with in many countries.

But its not how protesters are dealt with here.

No, we have a long history of putting protesters in jail. Just look up Henry David Thoreau or Martin Luther King, to name a few examples.

Look on the bright side; protestors won’t be a problem under President Trump. Michigan, Minnesota, Washington, and North Dakota are passing legislation to criminalize all forms of protest in their respective states.

It’s going to be a very happy four years for you feris.

This is why the right always wins.

Eh, it’s not winning, it’s all just taking one news institution’s word over another for no other reason than they cater to your personal political views. Both sides are guilty and buy right into the line that they’re being sold.

As a result, media becomes more and more politically polarized because real objective news journalism doesn’t sell like sensationalized attack “news,” and as a result of that, our political parties become more and more polarized, no compromises are reached (why would you compromise with someone who is obviously wrong and an idiot, after all), and America suffers.

Nobody “wins” in this equation, except for the people making money off of the people who blindly follow the narrative they offer on their “news outlet.” Until news stops being a business focused around driving clicks so they can sell ad space, this decline will continue. Unfortunately, that’s up to the people to not blindly buy what they’re being sold, and since people don’t like to think for themselves, who knows when things will change.

I understand your argument, but I believe the right is going to come out as the victor in this polarized environment. They control all three branches of the federal government now, so they are in control of how our lives will be run in the next four years.

Even though Trump is coming into office with little popularity, the left-leaning media has even less popularity than he does. Click on any youtube video critical about institutional racism or sexism, and it will have a ton of dislikes automatically. I remember an online ad featuring a transgender kid and it has 25,000 dislikes vs. about 300 likes. The most hated channels on that site are MTV news and Feminist Frequency, while the most popular channels are the likes of Sargon Of Akkad and TheAmazingAtheist, which spend most of their time “debunking” leftist opinions. Anyone who doesn’t harbor a far-right viewpoint online is labeled a Marxist who wants to send everyone into reeducation camps. It’s far more socially acceptable to be on the right on social media rather than on the left.

All of the people you listed are on the left. The reason Feminist Frequency and MTV News are hated is because they are full of shit. TAA is an all-out socialist leftist. He just doesn’t like identity politics. Idk about Sargon but he’s not right of center.

Why is identity politics bad then?

Because not all people of a race or gender are the same? It doesn’t even pertain to this conversation. The point was that you were accusing leftists of being far-right purely because they’re opposed to identity politics. The reason MTV and Feminist Frequency are extreme is because they blame men and white people for everything, and they also overreact to non-issues, like video games.

What are non-issues to you are aggressions to the marginalized. It’s like Chinese water torture: a single drop of water seems harmless to you, but imagine thousands of them after a long period of time and let’s see how you feel. Besides, men and/or white people have been doing shitty things to people for hundreds of years, and people pretend that it’s not going on right now. Instead they constantly blame victims (“black people CAN BE racist”) so we end up losing focus on the real issue yelling at each other about semantics.

Fuck it, you’ll just dismiss my arguments anyways.

People like feris are going to running our environmental policy for the next four years.

I guess it ties into the “Earth has gone through several heating and cooling periods through the eons, so what we’re experiencing now is nothing new or unnatural” argument against AGW.

Which is an extremely dangerous attitude to have right now. Science says we have a couple years to prevent a tipping point in runaway climate change. The best case scenario is keeping it down to two degrees for the rest of the century (which will still be disastrous). Under Trump we are headed down the path to a six degree rise, which will jeopardize human existence, according to most climate experts.

Those dislikes aren’t automatically generated, they’re earned.

That’s only because the public is hostile to any challenges to the status quo.

I remember an online ad featuring a transgender kid and it has 25,000 dislikes vs. about 300 likes.

The same kid who said that all white people are racist, all men are misogynistic and all cisgender people are transphobic?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Zq6Va901ME

So where are the anti-white, anti-male, anti-cis agendas in the above ad? It’s just a teenager listening to music, who happens to be trans!

The most hated channels on that site are MTV news and Feminist Frequency, while the most popular channels are the likes of Sargon Of Akkad and TheAmazingAtheist, which spend most of their time “debunking” leftist opinions.

Leftism does not equal identity politics. Those two people you mentioned, believe it or not, are leftists.

I don’t know how you could be a leftist and still oppose feminism. Or it’s window dressing to make viewers think they aren’t racist/misogynist/etc (aka the friend argument).

Yeah but Dems suck at midterms.

Plus, they can’t change the congressional district boundaries for at least five more years. By then red states will take more seats from the blue ones, because their populations will have grown at a faster rate, and the House of Reps. is fixed to 435 members. Who knows if the Dems will even legally exist by 2022, if they were to pose a threat to Trump in the 2018 midterms?

You’re getting pretty close to doomsaying again, but bear in mind that not much will change in these four years and younger generations tend to vote left.

Trump could just propose a constitutional amendment raising the voting age back to 21 or even older. Congress would pass that proposed amendment in a heartbeat, and I think there are enough republican-leaning states to ratify it before the next midterm.

I feel like all this irrational hate for Obama is pretty funny. I mean, at worst his policies did nothing. The country is still here. The economy is still here. We didn’t really start any new wars or have any major attacks on our soil. Our guns didn’t get grabbed. None of us got droned. I’d argue that we’re actually somewhat better off now than we were eight years ago, but for the sake of this post lets pretend he was a total lame duck.

And yet people act like we’re coming out of some sort of horrible medieval dark age. Like Obama was actively standing on their chest for eight years. Hilarious.

Ironically everything people feared would happen under Obama is going to happen under Trump. I am just not looking forward the inauguration.

At least the conservatives can gloat over the next four years how they won the culture wars against the PC SJW left.
