    “Conservative activists are being safely removed from society into prison ships that will orbit Neptune until they die of being so angry,” would be a pleasant follow-up headline.

      Have you seen the carbon footprint of a rocket launch?

      I’d rather compost. Let their anger feed kids. Literally.

        I have seen the carbon footprint of humanity, and I don’t expect it to go down.

            Judging any population by the actions of 1-10% of its worst members is bad statistics

            I judge humanity by the outcomes of human actions. And it’s not looking good. You blame who you want, it won’t stop your descendants from being harmed.

              That’s bigot logic. Might as well say that all bald people are villains just because Jeff Bezos is bald.

              You blame who you want, it won’t stop your descendants from being harmed.

              On the contrary: blaming all of humanity doesn’t help anyone in any way.

              Pinpointing who are the worst offenders and what can be done to rein them in is the first step to actually effecting meaningful change to save millions if not billions of lives.

                Why would I try to help humanity? You’re human, right? And are you someone who I want to talk to?

                You’re calling me ‘bigoted’ for being autistic and seeing the world objectively. It is objectively the case that human actions have consequences, and those human actions are fault. You pretend to make the world better by being unpleasant. It’s sad, and I want no part of it.

                  Nope. I’m calling you bigoted for saying bigoted, very subjectively based things.

                  It is objectively the case that human actions have consequences, and those human actions are fault.

                  It is also the objective reality and much more useful to know that massive differences of scale exist between the consequences of the actions of a tiny minority of people and everyone else. To insist on ignoring that is some counterproductive edgelord horseshit.

                  You pretend to make the world better by being unpleasant. It’s sad, and I want no part of it.

                  This you?

        So the death penalty and mass graves? Uhhhh

          Of course not. Just mass graves. If they don’t want to die in them, the body has ways of shutting that down.
