> climate emergency

1. What do you think about the Great Garbage Patch: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_garbage_patch ?

2. What do you think about micro-plastics?

3. What's your opinion about smog: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_New_York_City_smog ?

3. Do you think modern industrial societies are not capable of outputting enough greenhouse gases to alter the climate?

1-3 are specific pollutions. The Great Smog of 1952 also impacted coal-fire and smoke regulations across Europe and America, which immediately improved related illnesses. Removing poison from water and air is not automatically a climate emergency.

There’s a huge gap between any of this, and a “climate emergency” that justifies slavery to the state.

You do know that you're making super outrageous claims, right?

> slavery to the state

Who's claiming this and what exactly do they mean by "slavery to the state"?

I don’t mind being called a crazy person, as long as we make damn sure that all options to enslave people (even “a little bit”) stay permanently off the table.

Just in case!

Nobody's calling you crazy.

I am however saying that you're making super vague claims with very strong words.

Give more details, please. Otherwise this is all just a random rant. That's ok, but hardly discussion worthy :-)

I will go on the record calling this person crazy. We need to stop pandering industry interests and the people they have deceived.

The only detail necessary here: I don’t trust people like this to control my life, and I will fight infowar, real war, whatever is necessary to ensure that they never get the chance.

The strong words are a deterrent. Feel free to stay on your side of the argument, but just don’t get any dumb ideas.

Your comment is not making much sense, sorry.

I don't understand what you're saying and you're being very vague.

If you're doing it on purpose, oh well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Rule 14.

I can't find anything relevant about this "Rule 14".

Rule 14: Do not argue with trolls — it means they win.

Aaaah. Could have just said "don't feed the troll" :-)
