I'm not confident it is a Russian op, but Russia has always fueled both sides of the political spectrum. They don't necessarily want one side to prevail, they just want their opponents to be divided.

While the plastic gadgets are wasteful, they don't hold a candle to all the unnecessary food packaging that's used. Just tear apart one of your garbage bags, and see how much is food-related packaging and how much is gadgets.

I visited the US (WV) recently, and I was appalled by how much waste goes unrecycled. At home (Europe) our family produces one bag of unrecycled waste every 2 weeks, in WV we produced 6 bags in 2 weeks, and that's while living in European style (refillable water bottles, declining plastic bags for groceries, buying unpackaged produce, etc.).

That's the right kind of propaganda.

All media is propaganda to some extent. It's just that we don't realize it for the media we agree with.

The El nina years are in there (the blue lines) none of them look like this year at all.

That said, this chart is not the best for understanding the actual extent of the sea ice. It doesn't show the amount of sea ice, it show how much there is relative to earlier years. The actual amount of sea ice is still growing at the moment, as one would expect in winter. Just not as much as earlier years.

How can anyone post an article like that, without a screenshot?

In the 1930s, the Netherlands kept detailed records of ethnicity for every citizen. No one thought this was unnecessary, as ethnicity wasn't something that could ever be used against you.

That line of thought ended when the Germans took over in may 1940. Unfortunately those records still existed, and aided the most efficient genocide in human history. Without those records, many jews, sinti and Roma would've been able to deny their ancestry and evade being murdered.

Privacy from government and corporations will one day save lives.

Is it socially acceptable today? Maybe I'm biased by my location (western Europe), but Ive never seen people with fashist views getting widespread acceptance. Unfortunately that doesn't the lone wolf from making quite a bit of noise, though.

So far he has gotten away with all of the crimes, so it's really working for him.

Let's hope the tide is changing on that, but I'm not holding my breath.
