It's not skepticism. Skepticism involves rational, critical examination. Their position is irrational denialism, or contrarianism.

By calling it skepticism the media is sane-washing their nonsense.

It's great that the UK got to vote in the other pro-oil party after 14 years of the pro-oil party. Thank goodness they dumped Corbyn, with his silly ideas of doing things to make people's lives better.

It's already an intolerable number of ads in some shows. And if you pause and go back a few seconds they show you all the unskippable ads again. It's definitely becoming more trouble than it's worth.

I guess the hit piece is just the title OP put on the post.

And no prosperity for the time that comes after it.

Every now and then I find this cathartic to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyQGrq-Y7gg

Once again ordinary people in the West are saved from affordable, low-pollution living, and Western companies are saved from having to compete.

Wow, they develop trucks like my workplace develops code.

We are told consistently that there is no right way to speak out against a clear wrong because systematically every method of protest, from campus demonstrations to essays to books to social media posts to peaceful marches on the streets, is framed as an amorphous attack on Jews everywhere as opposed to focused critiques of a specific wrong being perpetrated by a few powerful individuals.

We need, in large numbers, to refuse this message, no matter how often they try to push it on us. And we need to draw attention to the fact that the most antisemitic message being put about is coming from Israel and the institutions that fawn over it, with their insistence that all Jews must align with their genocidal views and support their genocidal actions. How disrespectful to Jews and Jewishness is that, to co-opt Jewishness itself in the service of your self-serving and brutal politics? It's insulting. And it's not just Israel's government that is being self-serving; it's also all those universities, media companies and governments who are trying to stay in Israel's favor because the alternative is their own discomfort.

War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength, Republican bullshit is still Republican bullshit.

Fascism always needs a new enemy each time it has dealt with the last one. That's why no one is safe from these neo-Nazis.

These are the people who continually call everyone on the left "groomers" and taking an unhealthy interest in kids? The same people cutting peepholes into school bathrooms?

What are the libel laws like in the USA? In some countries if you go around groundlessly accusing a public figure of murder, you could find yourself with a nice libel suit on your hands. Not that Trump would take any notice anyway - being sued is his default state.
