It's important to note that this pattern plays out for many issues. It's progressive politics and rhetoric, which is simply for any change and refuses to admit that anything is ever good enough, has natural causes, or is a completed process - to blindly accept claims of: climate change, covid, racism, etc.

This cute comment would have more bite if you'd actually managed to write in a straight logical line like the parent comment. Of course, imitation-but-worse is a reactionary staple.

This is probably my favorite response, because I literally made the exact point as the original comment. Any difference in the quality of the argument, such as it is, is purely invention on your part.

Which of course, is the point: it's a stupid argument however you look at it. If you up vote it, it's only because it confirms your priors, not because of the quality of the point (non-existent).

Strange that both the coal and oil industries (independently) produced internal documents in the mid 1960's agreeing that climate change science was sound and thus it was a particularly serious threat to their business.

Are you saying that they have not supported climate change denial?

“Non-movement is the same and as valid as movement!”

Sure, good luck with that, but why impose it on others?
