    who said anything about me being censored?

    the free speech reference was a reminder that i can say what i please, when i please. now, take your passive-aggressive offended baby-rage elsewhere.

    The "racist" label is a metric institutions use to dictate who they will throw their institutional weight out to materially marginalize.
    If an idea were factually solid and consistent, but it still fit the prescription of "racist," that fact alone could, and in the past has, been used to socially invalidate it. Also, it's not just grassroots censuring of ideas labeled racist either. Platforms of public discourse, which often retain monopoly in their niche because of networking effects, liberally use the "racist" charge to choke certain subjects from public discussion. Applying a label to an idea is NOT criticism, it is an ad-hominem. An ad-hominem that, in this case, is not grassroots, but bears an asymmetrical, institutional stigma.


    Also, when someone starts throwing out innocuous-looking conservative ideas, the same types who slander with the "racist" label turn around and accuse these perfectly innocuous ideas of being """"dogwhistles,"""" assume they are always coded language with no benefit of the doubt extended, refusing to engage the implications of these proposals on their own terms or merit.
    So whether or not you're "lawful" in handling some right-leaning ideas, it's damned if you do or don't.
    You've totally boxed up the conversation so the only conclusions it can yield are done on YOUR terms.



    And no, you don't get to use the "Well, if you're not a wayciss, why are you so afraid of being called one, HUUUUUUHHHH?!" counterargument. You can say the same thing about calling someone a pedophile or a rapist, but people can still get falsely accused of being them, and the implications of that charge are rightful grounds for anger by the accused.

    Reminder:
    The big CO2 sources and increases have been China, India, Africa and South America for decades.


    Media never mentions this, nor climate scientists either.

    Well yes, that’s true if you for some reason are inclined to measure CO2 production by geography alone. Then remember that China has something like five or six times the population of the States and adjust for CO2 production per capita, and you’ll see that, on occasion, there might be good reasons you’ve never heard of something or the other in the media.

    China is the world's leader in clean energy investment and production. It has also outspent Europe and the USA combined in moving its economy away from polluting energy. It still isn't enough by any stretch of the imagination, but their leadership is actually committed to transitioning away. Next time, think before you post.

    Emissions are a direct consequence of industrialization and go hand in hand with a country's GDP. America and Europe's industrialization peaked ages ago while third world countries are still catching up and their economies are growing exponentially. The only way China/India/Africa etc. could avoid raising their emissions is by staying agrarian and poor which no country is going to do. The reality is that we in are death spiral towards collapse unless a radical change in the global order occurs.

    I've heard holding your phone next to your ear triples your risk of brain cancer, yet media never mentions this.

    Per capita:

    USA: 15.53
    China: 6.59
    India: 1.58

    Being the two biggest polluters in the world, China and USA are responsible for 41.36% of the world's total CO2 emissions. Obviously those two countries should be doing the most to reduce CO2 emissions.
