Funny how nuclear power plants are taboo, but building thousands of nuclear warheads all over the globe is no issue.

I'm in Missouri so apparently I'm surrounded by silos

Funny how building nuclear power plants that can only (if you have dipshits running them) kill a nearby city is taboo, but climate change that will kill everyone is acceptable to the moralists.

Funny how whataboutism makes your audience defensive.

Funny how being polite didn't convince you so now you're trying to sell that being mean is going to stop you. You were always useless.

Hey, I hear you, life is stressful and there's a lot going on. It's okay to be upset, I hope whatever you're going through gets easier.

Misanthropy doesn't require anger. It's a philosophical position not a mood ring.

I'm not lashing out, my "audience" is full of genuinely, aggressively, useless people who think stupid shit like "trump is better for Gaza" or "nuclear power is not a required part of the climate change solution".

Is there a particular reason you think everyone, here specifically, believes those things?

Edit: I absolutely share your passion about climate change, as a preface. Calling someone, who agrees with you or not, "useless" makes them dismiss your opinion. It just means we can't engage in any meaningful discussion and others are less likely to take action.
