Between Florida attempting to censor the mention of climate change, McConnell trying to get state governors to rebel against CO2 regulations, red state governments attempting to thwart local environment regulations, and GOP senators trying their hardest to steer us towards war with Iran, I don't know what to think. Nothing gives me that creeping sense of impending doom quite like reading USPol.

No instead don't do anything and let these monsters have a stranglehold on America because obviously doing nothing ensures that when the poo poo hits the fan the people will come to us, and not some theo fascists. About Florida, what I will say is we must accept it will fall, its just to little to late. What we must instead do is work to mitigate it, have refugee camps, and fine tun FEMA, while also realizing that voters do need to have a scapegoat for such situations. So the left must be ready to get some nails and some boards to crucify the libertarians when the poo poo hits the fan. Give people a reason to never want to fallow such a parasitic ideology again.

After the string of earthquakes we had here in DFW, there was a lot of chatter about banning fracking and wastewater injection, latter of which was identified as the likely cause. Seems like that'll never happen. Also funnily Dallas doesn't have a plastic bag ban, but just instituted a per-bag charge.

How are u posted:Florida is completely and utterly hosed within the next 50-70 years. South Florida (Miami and it's metro area) are going to spend billions of dollars on projects to hold back the tide, but once that loving ocean seeps into the water tables the entirety of southern Florida is going to become essentially uninhabitable. So what? We survived the great migration, and that was millions of refugees escaping the hellhole that is the south. Only difference this time, now white folks get to experience it. Why should I care that Floridians get their own section of the city to live in, separate but equal from the rest of us?

Remind me, how is leash the New Dems, because they are a bunch of cowards who will move with the wind accelerationism? its how the parasite wing of the GOP took over. They took over the local and state party apparatus's in the 60-70s, it was only then that they could get Reagan. What I am arguing isn't accelerationist, its how you do politics. Now perhaps I am a bit of an accelerationist in the fact that I really do believe that America will not be safe till we have had some sort of attempt by the parasites to rise up, fallowed b the necessary security measures. But beyond that I really do not hold your views that we should do nothing and let the degenerates rule.

So apparently we just declared Venezuela a threat:quote:WASHINGTON - U.S. President Barack Obama issued an executive order on Monday declaring Venezuela a national security threat, sanctioning seven individuals and expressing concern about the Venezuelan government's treatment of political opponents. I guess a Central / South American regime change invasion would be a refreshing change from the Middle East.  Quidam Viator posted:OK everyone, this guy's an ACCELERATIONIST.

A Man With A Plan posted:Also funnily Dallas doesn't have a plastic bag ban, but just instituted a per-bag charge. Per bag charges are actually pretty effective at reducing bag use, particularly if the bag fee is used for conservation and cleanup. DC (and a couple surrounding areas) have one and bag usage dropped a ton.
