    This is incredibly patronizing of you. You’re one step away from calling everyone else “sheeple“ while holding yourself up as the exception.

    I am not going to tell LGBT people they are distracted by Trump and the GOP’s regressive policies towards them because they aren’t giving enough attention to climate issues. I’m not going to tell women they are distracted by Roe’s repeal and the subsequent fallout. I am not going to apologize for caring about project 2025 and the planned dismantling of our entire system in service of a petty manchild. I also care about climate issues, as do many people who care about the issues I listed.

    The only critique, as I said earlier, is that outlets have not reported on this enough. But they can report on multiple things. Lack of coverage does not mean we are all distracted by other coverage except for you and WAPO.

        What politics am I defending? I agree the coverage by media outlets has been terrible. This is a serious threat to our climate.

        You also don’t know the first thing about me. I am not using anyone as a shield. Get fucked. Blocking and moving on I don’t need your brand of disingenuous shit.

      It’s not his fault that there is a significant portion of the planet that is, in fact, quite dumb. It doesn’t make them worth less as humans, but it is something that needs to be considered.

        Reducing everybody who doesn’t prioritize the same things as you to such lengths is ridiculous. I don’t care what your perception is of “the average person.“ That’s egotistical teenager logic.

        Once again, we can call out media outlets for not properly prioritizing this. But to shutdown other people’s priorities and blame them for the lack of coverage in order to elevate it is intellectually dishonest and counterproductive finger pointing.

          I wasn’t reducing anyone and I don’t think the person you were responding to was either. Some people have a harder time focusing on many things at once than others. In the same way that many many people have no internal voice in their head with which they think, people’s brains work differently. It’s just a fact. Some are more efficient at parsing large quantities of varied data than others. That is also a fact. I’m not trying to devalue those who cannot do that, but it would be immature and irresponsible to not consider that when looking for the causes of miscommunication or misunderstandings about how society actually functions just because you think it might hurt someone’s feelings if they were told that about themselves.

          To be quite honest, prioritizing climate change is the responsible and rational thing to do because if we fuck that up, literally nothing else we have done will have any meaning, whatsoever.
