I'm not going to lump all environmentalists together, but the ones who do say we're doomed are usually ones with an ulterior motive. Bob's big problem is that he willfully blinds himself to China's atrocious environmental record. I heard rumors that the water quality in some areas is so bad that it's not even suitable for industrial use.
Trans hate crimes are on the rise! It has nothing to do with the trans population sextupling over that time period. Trust the science!
Imagine listening to anything on the news. The news is deliberatly constructed to produce the maximum amount of propaganda. I had the unfortunate experience of watching the news a few times over the last 6 months. Guess what it was? 90% was about covid vaccines (and whatever racial flavor of the month atrocities were occuring in my local areas). You would think thousands of people in my local area were dying by the day with the amount of coverage this benign virus gets. It just so happens that all of these stations are owned by one company, in fact they operate 294 local television news stations. You might even remember this famous video. I can't even express the amount of revulsion I feel when watching or reading the news anymore. Any supposed "thinker" would spot the obvious amount of lies and propaganda that happen on twitter and on news networks. I don't pretend to believe in Bob's retarded dychotomy, but we're not dealing with thinkers here folks. We're dealing with believers.
A lot of what happened with Boomers has to do with life back then. Back in the time of the boomers, there were certain expectations for each of the sexes. Women were expected to get married, have a bunch of kids, and be a good wife until the day she died. Men were expected to put on a suit, go to work, and provide for the family by working long hours, and otherwise be a good husband until the day he died. Media at the time presented an image that "oh this is so happy and fulfilling;" coupled with enormous societal pressure to fulfil these expectations (old maid ain't just a card game, folks!), a lot of young boomers married people they'd rather have not married. When happiness didn't follow, they began to wonder whether or not they had been sold a lie. This dissatisfaction was noticed by their children, who began wondering whether or not there was another way; think the disillusionment that followed World War 1, where people who had been sold "War is an honorable thing for young men!" experienced the horrors of industrialized warfare, and extrapolate that to the cultural level.
I'm not the best person to ask since I've only recently started getting around to watching any series (despite already having built a few Gunpla). That said, the thing about Gundam is that lots of the series are self-contained in their own timelines, with UC being the timeline with the most content produced for it by far. This means you can pick pretty much any non-UC series at random and give it a whirl without needing a lot of backstory or anything.
I think it's no secret that Gunpla are what saved Gundam from being just another forgotten mecha series; the original show's declining ratings led to its early cancellation, and it was only due to the massive success of the toy sales that caused them to greenlight new series. From what I gather, by the time G Gundam aired, Gundam's popularity was waning some, so they felt a reboot was needed to get people (mostly kids) interested (to buy more toys).
Yeah, that's what they say anyway, but the problem is how every one of their predictions has failed to pan out. There has been some form of climatic doomsaying going on for decades now (and you can find references to the idea of the climate killing us all going back even further), and they've been wrong every single time. Remember, in the 70's they were talking about how we were about to enter a new Ice Age thanks to mankind's industry, which they changed to global warming in the 80's and 90's. I forget if it was Michael Mann or someone else in his orbit, but one of them went before Congress in the middle of a particularly warm summer to testify about how global warming was going to kill us all, and he deliberately shut off the A/C so that they'd all be sweating on camera. I'd personally think if the science were so ironclad that he wouldn't have need of such theatrics, but I guess I'm not a scientist. And then when those predictions didn't pan out, they moved to the more broad and vague "climate change" so all their bases were covered; no matter what happens, it's our fault!
Just like the last dozen times we were doomed?
Definitely. Even if the UK reached net zero by 2025, banned all meat and basically did everything the most batshit XR members want, the existence of China would mean that would do nothing. The climate is a global issue and the last I checked China was on the globe.
This. As an aside, the people who insist that more government will magically solve climate change (looking at you, Caroline Lucas and Zarah Sultana) should look at how hilariously inefficient any form of government-run enterprise invariably is. If we passed these people's pet environmental projects all we'd notice would be more taxes and more money in the pockets of whichever civil servants were responsible for delivering them.
As far as these people are concerned, that's not a bug it's a feature.
You know there are a lot of people who could and should argue against early marriage, pairbonding or whatever you wanna call it. There are a lot of people who stay in realtionships they dont like out of comfort for far too long. But not moviebob, infact i bet he would be happier if such a system was still inplace. Say what you want about a nagging wife you dont like, it sure bets 70 years of loneliness without direction just farting around doing nothing.
Such fucking troglodoye thinking honestly disgust me. No regard of justice or whats right. No regard of the conscuenses of what this ruling brings. That chavin was trown out there to appease the mob. That policing in america will change not to be more inclusive but undoubtly for the worse as the only ones left who would want to be police officers are psychopaths or unfit for the role. No this is all about moviebobs sportsball team, that they won a victory. Fucking disgusting.
From what i have heard from friends who work in mainatance stateside is that american factories are behind the times a lot when it comes to technolgy and systems and are only kept afloat beacuse of goverment subsides. But i dont know how true that is.
They keep pushing the 12-year conspiracy and they wonder why more people are becoming global warming skeptics.
This is another thing that Bob cannot have for the hell of it: purpouse. A lot of guys find purpouse in a family by being the breadwinner and rising a child. Lonely fucks commit to enormous projects like building a house by themselves, having a far or writing books. Bob, in all is inmense superiority and wisdom, he can only muster that he exists to consoom and then consoom the next thing in line. This is why Covid has probably a very specific kind of hell for him: his life lacked meaning while there was no capeshit to watch.
Bingo. I remember reading one account of during the global cooling scare of the 70s, someone proposed pumping extra CO2 into the air to combat it.
America has a LOT of factories so it's probable that it's a non-zero number. I have one meatbag acquaintance who works for a chemical plant mainly running on a system code that my great-great-great grandfather would have run on. (It's apparently even older to Cobol.) But you know what? The plant is pretty much unhackable and has had an "uptime" now of multiple decades. (Given that Microsoft can release a patch shutting down your entire exchange...)
Most people who saw that tape had an entierly emotional reaction. But as more evidence came out about the case, Floyds behaviour and his drug use opinion started to sway.
Well what was specifically talked about was assembly and welding robots.
As /ourguy/ Ted Kaczynski said:
Why leftists do the things they do make the most sense when you view leftism as a cynical strategy, even if there are individuals who sincerely believe what they are doing is right.
There's also the fact that rather than being something to pass for more eco-friendly measures to be taken, the biggest thing they're trying to push, the Green New Deal, is basically a wishlist of stuff the Democrats want that have nothing to do with climate change, like trans rights, education reform, and healthcare. Gee, why didn't anyone want to pass this bill?
