Important message in this thread, whether you apply it to climate science or any other issue we’re facing
The basic premise underlying this thread is that you can’t realistically be optimistic about bad things, and there are two things wrong with this.
First, the premise that it’s important to be realistic; and second, the idea that recognizing the truth leaves no room for optimism.

Of course. But you can't be optimistic about an oncoming catastrophe.
And we won't keep the global average temperature sise to 2.5C by 2100 - nothing like
Pliocene conditions are projected to begin to emerge in places as soon as the 2030s

I’ve been absolutely skewered excuse me while I bleed out
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

You don't have to post NSFW yourself for it to negatively affect you. You don't have to, because these bans are not about NSFW content, or protecting kids, or making a site safer to use.
Its ALWAYS about conservatives and agendas to push people back in the closet, and remove dissenters.

Aamer Rahman got it right re: debating Nazis
"I would like to defeat Nazis on Planet Earth first, and then after we eradicate them here you can defeat them in the marketplace of ideas, fucking Narnia, Mordor, whatever imaginary realm it is that you think Nazis can be constructively debated in”

I’m not sure the problem here is bad faith. The fascists were quite honest about being fascists. The problem is overrating the value of winning a debate with people who are much more interested in normalizing their ideas than persuading.

People don't miss manufacturing jobs. They miss the effects of having 30+ percent union density. And we can build worker power again, with good policies, for the jobs most working class people actually have today rather than hoping mumbo jumbo will make it 1955 again.
When (some) people talk about bringing back manufacturing, they mean "bring back steel & auto jobs that someone can take right out of high school, and live a middle class life"
The worst part of this is that even if manufacturing jobs came back because of this (they won’t)
and even if Americans retooled for those jobs (they won’t) those jobs sucked! It’s like demanding to return to being a farming society. People fled that life the instant they could, in the millions!
