Socialism is when people try to prevent climate change, and the more climate change they prevent, the more socialister it is, and when they prevent it completely, that's communism. And it will kill a million bajillion people. socialism-is-when

Using the term “second order” here is cringe.

It makes sense when you’re talking about quantifiable, rigorously defined second order effects

It doesn’t just mean subjectively unimportant or lower priority.

everything about the word choice is cringe. he’s massively overcompensating. “conversely” is a classic giveaway

I've seen the aerosol hes talking about that is a very temporary solution and pointless for longterm if you don't cut emissions.

Treating the symptoms while ignoring what caused them to begin with

I'm sure endless, systemically driven greed won't cause any other issues, no sir. And that's presupposing his theory would work to begin with

Smarts don’t make you an expert on climate dynamics, and I don’t trust some guy on Twitter to be a good judge of “smart”. The phrasing is pretty telling though “smart people I know”, vs “people smarter than me” means he’s including himself among the “smart people” pushing for this.

Tech people are the worst at believing their specialized knowledge of one tech field makes them experts in all fields, including history, economics, and branches of science mostly unrelated to their own.

These guys read a Neal Stephenson book and make it their whole personality.

[-] miz@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago

once I found out Stephenson had become "friends" with Jeff Bezos, what happened to him suddenly made sense

Am I wrong or is aerosolized sulfates just their choice because of emissions restrictions whining and all it does is seed clouds?

If cloud seeding wasn't controversial already we could seed clouds without that shit

[-] miz@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago

should "persevere" be "perceive" in the title?

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
