    Everywhere I look everything is getting fucked to death. Insects, fish, entire ecosystems, entire climates, entire regions near the equator, all FUCKED.

    Then my uncle says “how come it’s getting colder some places, I thought the globe was supposed to be warming! Hahahah”

    At least he can arguably not give a fuck. He is rich and has no kids. I don’t get why the poors on the right side of the spectrum are so willing to parrot this idiotic bullshit though, don’t they realize their 600 even-poorer grandchildren are FUCKED?

      They don’t care because either:
      a) they’ll be dead
      b) everything will be fine in heaven
      c) both?

      No. The effort to make that unclear has been very successful.

      People with poor education are poor at spotting idiotic bullshit. Also there are other factors why people believe things. We aren’t that rational.

        It jives with how they see Trump as a “Godly, Christian man.” According to recent polls, they view him as more “Christian” than Mike fucking Pence.

        I wonder if part of it is that belief begets belief? They believe in Trump because he believes so deeply in himself and they identify with that?

          Excuse me, I said hey rude ass, I’ve never used Tumblr. So, why don’t you tell me what this is then, tell me so I can fall in line with your expectations.

            Putting emojis every other letter is a sign of Tumblr cancer. Don’t do that if you want to be taken seriously.

              I wasn’t serious when I said I’d fall in line behind you. Emojis on are a world wide phenomenon. If it doesn’t appeal to you then move on. Are you this controlling and intolerant irl? Or are you just petty online? Since you seem to lack social nuance, I’ll be clear, I don’t really care by asking these questions. I am asking you to ask yourself. Pettiness and coercion are also a social cancer
