You walked blindly into this argument with absolutely zero understanding of the subject matter at hand, didn't you?
Users are attributing climate change to "capitalism" with no evidence or reasoning to back it up. You've made assertions that countries that political experts don't consider primarily capitalist countries are actually capitalist countries with no evidence to back them up. I don't have to waste my time disproving your flaky nonsense, calling it out is good enough for me.
And what part of this conversation makes you feel like the intelligent subject matter expert here? The part where you said liberals shouldn't use certain words? Keep it up bud, appreciate you helping me decide which communities to filter out here.
Lol! It's aliens, right? Climate change is caused by aliens? Is that your angle here?
I agree... you don't have to flail blindly and ignorantly because you don't have a clue what you are talking about. You can get a clue any time you feel like.
Yes of course, the only two super specific variables that exist, capitalism and aliens.
Would you waste your time talking to you?
Your claims are so ridiculous I wouldn't be surprised if you were to start whining about aliens or the earth being flat.
Like I said... you don’t have to flail blindly and ignorantly. You can come back to reality any time you feel like.
Nice, got any more strawmans you wanna throw out there?
Your ignorance is either naive or contrived. I don't care enough to investigate which one it is... I only care that your shitty take is understood for what it is. Aaaaand... that seems to be the case.
Think it's funny that you're losing your damn mind over there replying aggressively because you can't leave a comment unreplied to, but I'm the one "flailing" right?
Relax, right-winger... chill. Watch this cat parade.
Your politics is a dead-end street... but that's not the end of the world - people overcome much worse every day.
Maybe you should... stop being so sensitive.

Now you've accused me of being a right winger and a liberal, so which is it?
Liberalism is a right-wing ideology.
It's alway surprising that liberals don't realise that liberalism is a right-wing ideology. They can't have read the main liberal tracts and treatises because the connection is clear. It could be a US thing, where liberal is used to describe Dems and conservative, Republicans. So liberal is 'left' in the states, where it's the left-faction of the capitalist party. What most people don't realise is that Conservatives still self-identify as one or another type of liberal and they almost all, 'left'- and 'right'-leaning liberal refer to the same handful of books as the basis of their ideology. That's because liberalism is the ideology of capitalism, fundamentally opposed to socialism.
Have one (very liberal capitalist) brief source presenting some evidence to how capitalism is to blame. Then have a very short summary write-up on how China has been the world leader in combating climate change. Happy?
