      Jesus Christ, you’re not kidding. It’s fascinating but I feel like looking at it may have damaged me in some way.

      Stuff like this is going to happen. The more they keep inciting transphobic hatred, the more likely that a masculine woman is going to be assaulted. It’s not funny because the woman might not even be a TERF and could be completely innocent.

      Abortion and euthanasia are going to lead to autistic people being murdered. Neo progressives already believe that disabled children should be aborted and atheists admit that “life begins some time after birth” meaning they openly support euthanasia up to age five in some cases. A lot of neo progressives think the most humane option for disabled children is abortion or euthanasia at a young age.

      My sister supported abortion before she transitioned and she says that she was a creepy white knight when she supported it.

      I support raising the minimum wage, but there should be an exemption for people living with middle class parents.

      I think they are just trying to pursue viewpoint-inception in a way that deliberately will make everyone in the conversation mad at them, so they can get a high score. I cannot imagine any other explanation.

        Pfft. I support abortion up until 99 years of age. At 100 you get a gold star and the doctor says it’s not advisable because it’ll naturally happen “any moment now”.

        Holy smokes! That account has to be a bot. Awful incoherent ramblings and correct grammar just don’t mix.

      In fairness, weather models and climate patterns have come a long way since the mid-90s. Meanwhile, folks who did have access to advanced climate data worked very hard to cover it up.

      Thankfully, the world’s largest population does appear to be taking climate change much more seriously in the 2020s than they did in the 1990s. Would that more countries took the threat of the Holocene extinction more seriously.

      You don’t have to think ahead when you can just pay other people for everything without ever impacting your standard of living.

      I think it’s even simpler than that. They’re millionaires. Why would they give a shit if their house is under water in 20 years. They’ll just get another one and stay in their other houses while they find another beach front house, and get some money back from the house insurance they can afford.

        Yeah they have FEMA insurance so our taxes pay for it. They love taking our tax money and spending it on their excesses.

      Impossible. If they were stupid, how could they possibly have gotten so rich? Its not as though you can just steal billions of dollars through systemic coercion, corruption, and graft.

    The elites are building spaceships, cities, and don’t care about the house after they are dead nor its insurability.

      They have beach houses, city pads, mountain retreats and bug out farms in NZ.

      They know climate change is real and coming they think they are rich enough to avoid the worst of it.

      They don’t give a toss about the resale value of their coastal properties.

      glances at the Boeing Starliner, the Blue Origin vomit comet, and Virgin Galactic vaporware

      Idk if I’d necessarily trust these to get me to safety.
