MODERATORS
How would it even occur to you to compare climate science to child molestation? Unless you just think that everything you don't like is child molestation.
I think it's probably got more to do with the "every accusation is a confession" principle that modern conservatism seems to operate under.
How would it occur to you that a guy rescuing kids trapped in a cave is a pedophile? Who knows, but Elon did anyway.
This is apparently what started many people realizing that he is actually an idiot and not a genius.
It certainly was for me. I was always a bit skeptical of him as I am of all cults of personality, but I didn't realize he was also stupid until then.
That’s when I realized he’s a shithead.
Hey now, let's be fair! He was also visiting Thailand a lot, and we all know the singular, only valuable thing in the entire country is young twink boys you can confuse for a girl.
... /s, just in case.
Its shit heel behavior, but there was the Jerry Sandusky revelations at Penn state, the same university where Mann worked at the time.
These shit heads just used an actually evil bastard that was in the news to drum up clicks and vilify Mann in the worst way possible at the same time.
They actually like child molestation, but only when their side is doing it, otherwise they use it as an insult.
They hate seeing others do it wrong.
Your sentence heavily implied that there is a right way to molest children. Which I am betting you didn't intend but it is still funny.
When I was a kid everything my family didn't like was satanic. Boy getting a piercing, wearing a sweatband, non-baby boomer music.
Conservatives really do build up this whole terrible world in which they are the only heroes and anything they do is ok. They don't think he is a child molester, they said it for shock value alone and are now giving us the shocked Pikachu face.
Wackos used to call everything they hated, "communist" but switch names because their beloved Putin is pretty communist.
Russia stopped being a communist state with the fall of the USSR (and Gorbachev loosened that up even before the fall). It's more of a right wing kleptocracy today.
I mean Russia stopped being communist within about 5 minutes of beccoming communist, which is generally the problem with communism. Its a system that only works in a theoretical world where everyones nice and the first strongman to show up doesn't sieze control and turn it into an autocracy.
Yeah, even without the strongmen or cults of personality that can completely upend things, communism is a system that just breeds resentment, I think even more so than capitalism plus social safety nets (as inadequate as they might be).
Putin is not in any way a communist. He's a mobbed up, fascist dictator.
And he was that even when he was an official communist. Nothing has changed. The economic system used in a place doesn't make people good or bad.
Whenceforth are you taking the claim from that Putin is a communist?
Accusations like that are often confessions.
