>No, but some need to subscribe to better access to news sources instead of complaining there’s no coverage on Reddit.

No they don't. Your opinion on peoples' news agglomeration and posting is silly.

>And then there are those that feel their time is better spent disagreeing with others pointing that out, and make feeble attempts at them being inferior in doing so.

Yep. I think you're riding a high horse bred in ignorance and pointlessness, and so I said so. And that's okay.

>No flash cards necessary.

Whewboy, we're getting there, but this might do you some good: https://www.amazon.com/Every-Bodys-Different-Childrens-Understanding-ebook/dp/B01N2OZUFM

I'm the middle of editing it. My first book touches some on environmentalism; it's post apocalyptic so it takes place on a world that's a total wasteland, but it's about trying to redeem life so that we can live in harmony with nature rather than trying to be the masters of nature.

As to Greta, I suppose my problem is how she's being used by adults to further their cause. You saw the results of what happened after the Parkland shooting: the survivors started committing suicide because they were used as political props rather than being provided with therapy. Of course the situation with Greta isn't comparable to that, but I think she's really mad about how she's being used as a political puppet and isn't in school. Maybe she is having a strong effect in mobilizing the youth to this cause.

It's a complicated issue for me. I fully support her cause, I just don't understand why she's the spokesperson; it's because she's primarily been promoted in European markets so I don't know much about her. I wish she had talked about how the Industrial Revolution was the direct cause of the Holocene Mass Extinction Event. We need to stop letting technology control us because that's what's destroying the world.

And I gotta admit you're spot on. But I guess I just need to focus on finishing my book Gaia Eternal and stop being envious of Greta. I only hope she's doing what she wants to be doing, I hope she can keep up the fight at she grows older.

>I’m not meaning to attack you, but the literal mad scientist/super villain trope is that bad things need to happen so that good can happen afterwards. I’ve only been voting since Obama, but have voted blue in basically every election, and do vote for the more progressive candidate (generally) in primaries. I say that I want as little bad to happen as possible, because people’s lives are more important than whatever lesson or message I think I’m teaching or sending.

I know you are going about this in good faith. I don't get offended easily and I know you weren't painting me as a James Bond villain. My basic principle is this: Failing to act will cause damage to people's lives. I.e. electing Joe Biden, who will fail to solve problems is a propagation of failing policies that cause stagnation and pain.

>If you think having George Bush/Bob Dole as president with the Norquist-inspired, Gingrich-led Republican Congress of the 90s wouldn’t have gutted welfare or passed a more extreme crime bill, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. If you think the differences between Dole/Bush and Clinton were meaningless, idk - we’re at an impasse.

First of all, Reagan did not pass those policies. Because Clinton was a Democrat, he was able to avoid criticisms that would have been leveled at him if he was a Republican. If welfare is a too involved example take the execution of Ricky Ray Rector. If you don't know about that example I highly recommend you read up on it. But yes, because Clinton was a Democrat, he was able to silence his Democratic Party from criticize his decision to purge the welfare roles. I should also point out that even if the Republicans had purged the welfare roles, at least the Democrats could have led an opposition to stop them or, if it had passed, to reenact them on coming back to power.

>There’s sadistic regimes all throughout the world.

Other than North Korea, none of them even come close to Hussein.

>Should we have gone into Rwanda? Iran? North Korea? Pakistan? Syra? Libya? On and on.

Each one of those is situational. I would say to each of those, yes, no, maybe (if it was a long time ago), no, no, and yes.

>Saddam was not making progress on making nuclear weapons/WMDs (the only thing we found was expired sarin gas more than a decade old) because the sanctions were working.

He was planning to develop fissile material as well as trying to buy nuclear weapons from North Korea.

>So, after telling me how important Kurdish independence is, you’re telling me you’d vote against joe Biden (who, waaay back when, proposed splitting Iraq up into three zones and giving the Kurds one of them) and by virtue of sitting out/whatever help re-elect Trump who totally just fucked them over? Smh, could you be any more confused???

I am obviously glad Biden did vote yes on the Iraq War, but I don't see how that would help my objectives now. As far as I know his foreign policy objectives don't align with mine and I am not really all that in favor of starting a war now anyway. The goals at the top of my mind in terms of conflicts are aiding Rojava (which many candidates support), stopping the genocide in Burma, and the oppression of Chinese Uyghurs. I don't think any candidates care about the last two so I don't care either. Plus there are other considerations besides foreign policy.
