   another straw man argument

   the environmentalists usually dislike both electric cars AND Bitcoin mining, so this comic just made up an imaginary unreasonable person to criticise.

   saw one earlier where the unreasonable person was against tattoos for kids but for gender change surgery (both being types of body modification), whereas a more realistic person would be either for or against both, typically.

     @thor they're making fun of people who have no opinions and know nothing they're just raging at what the press told them to rage at

     @thor Telling people the truth even when it might hurt their feelings is also an American trait.

     @thor America is the only relevant country in the Western world, so if you aren't aligned to American politics then you're just a backwards provincial.

     @caekislove ah, yes, American exceptionalism and island mentality on display loud and clear there.

     @caekislove i'm not from America.

     surprisingly often, i'll hear some line of argument about a world issue that would only be correct if America is the only country in the world.

     @thor I used to be one, actually. Well, I still am in the sense that I oppose clearcutting, stripmining and toxic waste dumping. I'm just not part of the climate cult that took over the movement after the FBI yeeted Earth First and ELF.

     @caekislove that explanation is emotionally satisfying if you dislike environmentalists, but too simple to be the truth.

     @thor It's outdated, because environmentalists decided like 6 years ago that electric cars are bad because Elon Musk is bad. I'm old enough to remember back in the 90's when most environmentalists believed that only a massive conspiracy by oil companies was preventing widespread electric car adoption, which would be an unmitigated good

     @thor @caekislove i dislike environmentalists because they're lying faggots who carry water for kikes and WEF spooks.
     they think cutting down old growth forests in Germany to expand a coal mine is better than continuing to operate nuclear power plants. they think 100,000 gallons of burning vinyl chloride poses no threat to the water supply because the "experts" said so BUT your gas stove will definitely kill you. the vegan shills have definitely never set foot on a farm or a ranch in their lives.

     @caekislove @thor the whole thing's just so polluted by reddit soyence fags that it's impossible to have a conversation about it. they're talking about how vertical mealworm farms will allow them to fit infinity niggers into pods in hive cities, we're talking about stewardship of God's creation.

     @skylar @thor This. Environmentalism was cool back when it was about spiking trees and burning down mink farms.
