They never pretended much. You're just looking at it now.
I called this decline into insanity and fascism back in the mid 90s. Also nailed global warming in 2000 or so, and called the nsa's bullshit years before snowden to name a few.
I am only right on the bad predictions, my good predictions are a shitshow.
You should bet on stuff you don't like. Then if you win it's like an insurance payout. Your prediction skills will make money for you, and you might create incentives for other people to reduce bad things.
I didn't get it that far back. I blame Pokémon. Except global warming. I was just kind of raised with it as a fact.
whats funny is I help found an environmental group in college and did a lot of recycling things and it took the gore movie for it to get on my radar.
Succks he made a movie instead of non-insane environmental policy.
yeah I keep imagining how different things would be if we had 8 years of gore instead of bush in the first 8 years of the millenium. we got screwed on that hanging chad.
We got screwed by a court decision instead of an election
