Nah, Conservatism is an idiotic ideology that has produced nothing of worth, ever, and anyone who identifies as Conservative can eat shit for all I care. They have nothing to contribute. That doesn't get people who acknowledge the problem but don't put forth solutions for the underlying problems off the hook in my eyes, though.
"Due to human activity" is like the most surface level analysis of anthropogenic climate change. Understanding why human activity led to this, what the conditions are that allows this to continue, what needs to change so that those conditions don't lead to this problem, etc. Science will help with some of those answers, but ultimately political and social analysis and value judgments about how society should be set up will be key to changing anything. Diagnosis and implementation, as you said, which is what my post was focused on.
So, why was Colin Moriarty (or any and all discussion regarding Colin Moriarty) banned from this site again?
Seriously though, you don't see a difference between discriminating against people for their immutable qualities like sex or race, and discriminating against people for the positions they hold? Are you actually serious and have you actually thought this through. The real Bigots out there are still a problem in society not these strawmen "bigots" you've made people that disregard hatemongers out to be.
This seems to be covert both sideism especially the "this has nothing to do with my politics" disclaimer
Damn dude. Facts: until we can get past those core "lowest common denominator" issues nothing they have to say is worth a damn, and it is astounding you would try to make the comparison that the people fighting those with such horrendous values are in any way on the same level who hold them.
It should be easy, right?

What would be accomplished from conservatives acknowledging it, though? Its literally a part of the ideology to not do anything.
I knew about that.
Fascism rises because Liberalism would rather be bedfellows with that than Socialism.
I'm pretty sure it's because of tweets like this one:
Dude is clearly a misogynist troll and is worthy of deplatforming within the gaming community
If a joke like that is reason enough to completely disregard someone and everything they do, aka "cancel" them, and label them a "misogynist"I'm pretty sure it's because of tweets like this one:
Dude is clearly a misogynist troll and is worthy of deplatforming within the gaming community
Care to recommend one?
Good point. I don't even think you need to go into history; just look at who is in a coalition with the far right in Italy at the moment (hint: not liberals).
Do you really think the GOP will ever be reasonable about this? The fact that they are an impediment speaks to the failure of the American political system. And the other failure is that the other side doesn't actually want to implement the structural changes that would be needed to confront the problem.
My point is that this website is hypocritical to the idea of bigotry.

It took Moriarty and Boogie actual years of being very public idiots to be "completely shut out".
When the "deviation in ideology" is just your grandpappy's solutions with a not-so-fresh coat of paint for the millionth time, it becomes useful to remove bad faith actors from the conversation. Do you think "build the wall" is an opinion worth hearing more about? We know it's just base xenophobia/racism and that there ISNT a surplus of immigrants flooding across the southern border. So any time someone starts off by lying to me, I tend to take them less seriously. If conservatives were actually interested in new ideas we could talk, but all they want is a return to the 50's demographics
See, this is what I'm talking about. It isn't, GND or denial of climate change. Those aren't the only options, and as someone who generally favors the GND, I can still disagree about how effective it would be in combating the problem. There's no "right" answer to this.Wrong:
I don't think the GND is meaningful change. Its a welcomed policy proposal within the confines of our current political system.
It's because we won't ever get past these "core values" because they are intentionally put out there to distract you from actually engaging on the real issues.
