How did we get from Warnock, Gibson and the Long Term Vision to racism and climate change? Well, we're not actually allowed to discuss politics here...so the trick is to just sneakily derail whatever thread is currently most active. Link to post Share on other sites

I thought it was clear that Steve’s & Neil’s long term vision works clearly to maintain life purely to support the advancement of MFC. Anything less is short sighted in my opinion 😉 Link to post Share on other sites

You're going on about political pressure when the facts around climate change are clearer than those around COVID. You acknowledge that people can only do so much as individuals whilst also speaking about the extremists as if they need to grab those people's attention to begin with, writing an awful lot about what's wrong about what they did instead of acknowledging why they exist to begin with. Once the facts present themselves to people in power, inaction is ignorance, it's nothing to do with sympathy for certain people or causes, continued existence is a selfish pursuit too, both on an individual level of those in power and collectively as a species. The only difference between this and COVID is the latter is affecting us significantly right now. Just like global pandemics, we can take preventative measures and in the opinion of those who know what they're talking about, we didn't do enough of that for a potential pandemic and we aren't doing enough of that for climate change. And we can see it. Extremism is born from that inaction, we need to acknowledge that rather than simply label them as idiots. And I'll say again, away from the species-threatening climate issue, history would disagree with you about the effects of extreme protesting to begin with, especially when it comes to equality.
