  • I think they’re thinking that people like them are in the majority and they’re trying to incite the most desperate or violent racists to start attacking minorities under the cloak of darkness. I’ve worked and spoken with crazy right wing assholes my whole life. They’re the type of people who would easily murder or rape if they think no one is watching and they can get away with it.

    The funny thing is religion used to reign a lot of them in. The true believers actually felt like God watched their every move, but most church goers don’t even really act like they believe the shit they spew anymore.

    And I’ve worked in sweltering heat with high humidity and it’s a lot easier for a layman to survive the heat than the cold. You need gear and burning resouces to survive the cold. All you need with the heat is some shade and maybe a dip in the river/lake/pool. Like I said in my other comment, there’s a reason homeless flock to warm climates. It’s easier to survive.

    I live in Maine, the state with the most power outages in the US. 6 months out of the year I have to pay for heat to live and whenever we get a winter storm it’s likely to knock out power for a week for anyone in the boonies. I know how fucking quick cold turns deadly without gear and resources. A lot of people take heat and power for granted.

    Something tells me you’ve never experienced negative degree weather. You can dress warm, but that only goes so far until you freeze to death. Yes I get it it’s uncomfortable to be warm, but if you go inside, go for a swim, or find some shade, you will survive. You cannot survive extreme cold without specialized gear plus shelter and that’s barely surviving without burning resources for heat.

    There are extremes at both ends. I live in a place where you have to pay for heat 6 months out of the year to survive. Most of the warm climates I’ve lived in have 1-2 unbearable months max. Why do you think you see so many homeless in warm climates?
