@Alienbeing You said my "opinion that Republicans sell fear is a hollow opinion." I'm saying that the arch-Republican Ronald Reagan's use of the word "terrifying" in reference to someone from the government offering assistance is evidence supporting my position. Furthermore, we frequently hear Republicans today use the word "socialist" to describe Democrats. And when they do they inflect the word in the most sneering and deprecatory manner possible. Pay attention, you will hear it.

@Alienbeing I beg to differ sir. This is, perhaps, Ronald Reagan's most famous quote: "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help. " If anything, this type of rhetoric from "conservatives" has only increased since Reagan's day.

Your 1st paragraph is a pretty good summary of the status quo. Your 2nd is a pretty gloomy prognostication which may or may not turn out to be the future. For my part, I see the possibility that the slide toward fascism can be halted and things could actually improve. I'm gratified by the return of guilty verdicts in the sedition trial of Elmer Rhodes, the naming of a special prosecutor to bird dog Done Cheato in the J6 and classified documents cases, and the rejection of so many extremist candidates by voters in the recent election. Patches of blue in an otherwise threatening sky. At least the sky is not falling.

@laidback1 The plain fact is that new, large-scale wind and solar farms are being installed all over the world. This development is occurring, and is only possible, because it makes economic sense. Green energy is actually cheaper than fossil fuels, even before accounting for the fossil fuel-driven costs of climate disasters, oil spills, habitat destruction, etc. I hate to pull rank on you pal, but you obviously are not sufficiently educated in STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, and math) to adequately assess this subject. The internet is chock full of misinformation and disinformation. Conspiracy theories abound. My advice to you is to take what you find on Facebook with a grain of salt. And study science! The key to developing good critical thinking skills is to start with a solid knowledge base. So dig into biology, chemistry, physics, and Earth science. Then let's talk.

Flyingsaucesir replies on Nov 24, 2022:

@Kurtn Well in this case the Lancet was touted as the source by some faceless web site who supposedly got their info from another faceless web site....You see the problem? If you're going to cite a reference you have to tell people how to find it: name 9f journal, title of paper, author, issue, volume, date. Let the people read it for themselves. Anything less is just spurious noise. By the way, who is John Ionnodedis, and why should I give a fuck what he says? Science is a human institution, and therefore subject to corrupting influences. However, it is highly unlikely that the entire scientific community is going to go down the same rabbit hole. If the Lancet were to come out with a very surprising and devastating paper, I would start looking for confirmation from other journals. Until then, I'm going with Dr. Faucci, the CDC, the California Department of Health, the San Diego County Health Department, and my own doctor. They ALL AGREE, by the way. What does that tell you?

Flyingsaucesir replies on Nov 23, 2022:

@yvilletom Memories are not the thing itself. They're just fugitive images produced in the mind, the result of collections of neurons recapitulating, imperfectly, a pattern of neural communication that was first engendered by a sight, a sound, a thought, a touch, or asome combination of these. When the brain ceases to function, these patterns can no longer be replayed. Memory dies with the body.

@xenoview It is not possible to prove the non-existence of anything. We van only use our critical thinking faculty to assess the probability of such existence. And in the case of God, or a soul, or eternal life, that probability is vanishingly small.

There's no evidence Russia is deliberately targeting civilians, that would be a mind numbingly stupid thing to do. The war continues because the US and NATO want it to continue, they don't care how many people are dying.

Flyingsaucesir replies on Nov 21, 2022:

@Druvius Diplomacy was used but unable to Keep Putin from invading. Putin does not even recognize Ukraine as a state. That kind of obviates any diplomatic overtures. Russia is firing missiles into population centers, destroying a multitude of homes and small businesses. The civilians that are killed are just collateral damage. And then there is the mult-level, multi-sourced documentation of the Russian Army massacring civilians in Bucha and elsewhere in Ukraine. Where all of this is happening. Not a single shot has been fired inside Russia. Russia crossed the line. And now Putin is getting his ass handed to him. All people who love freedom are rooting for Ukraine. 😀
