    I mean you say “becoming increasingly clear” but it’s been clear as day for about two centuries for socialists. Any progress happening now on that front is just retaking lost ground.

      I think it became clear when the oil companies had their internal climate scientist prove it was them, and had that information leaked, and I believe that research was done 30 or 40 years ago?

      Ah yes, all those socialist climatologists from the 1800s were warning of climate disaster.

      (Just pointing out that their wording specifically referenced the environment and it was in response to an article about climate change)

        I mean that’s fair, but it’s also a nitpick since I’m clearly referring to the democracy part of their comment.

          I wasn’t trying to nitpick, just saying they made a decent point. Regardless of who else knew capitalism was harmful, science being a new indicator of that fact is significant.

      Two centuries of worry from socialists and we’re still where we’re at. They seem pretty fucking useless, ngl.

          Seems like smugly dismissing people as ignorant and stupid is an ignorant and stupid way of creating change. No points for good thoughts and no action!

            I’ve taken plenty of actions on top of voting. E.g. helped set up a local community food sharing network, volunteer my time on an anarchist community, built my own house, grow my own vegetables, and try my best to support leftist candidates. How about yourself?

          I don’t, thank you for 200 years of concern for climate change. Well spent!
