LMAO I did think about that connection. I guess what I'm getting at is that you seem to be only focussing on the grifters and profiteers (aka waste heat) surrounding a process, not the actual point of the process

Oh, exactly. And I'm not here to argue that climate change isn't about the grift for everyone. Just that that's not all there is, and that both sides of the binary (climate change is pure grift vs. climate change is our generation's totally pure and good crusade thingy) are wrong

the pure and good people are worse than the grifters because the "good" that animates them is bucket crab homeostasis maintenance

insofar as people are willing or enthused to murder the baby (technical civilization) so that it doesn't get the bathwater (idk a bunch of trees and shit) dirty, yes which is like 98% of the Movement

I don't think 98% is an accurate statement and that you have probably been exposed to outrage-mongering on this subject consistent with your prior beliefs and biases

there's just been a whole lot of excessive "NYTimes opinion page writing" on this topic in both the literal and figurative sense of the phrase

it is really not the case that the median environmentalist position on the issue is anywhere within 10000 miles of
ideologues on this2 replies 0 retweets 5 likes
if you go back a little ways my prior beliefs and biases are "omg we have to save the planet", i didn't grow up in a libertarian breeding enclave the median isn't Ted K sure but the median is willing to pump the brakes as hard as it takes for ~sustainability~

they just haven't done the math so don't realize there's no limit to how hard that means

at the end of the day the *moral rightness* that environmentalists burn with reveals that the emotional underpinning of the whole thing is the reflexive eternalism we all have bred into us, which obviously is understandable but that doesn't make it less dumbshit
