Amethyst posted:https://www.smh.com.au/national/i-wont-sign-kyoto-agreement-pm-20040527-gdj04c.html Yeah, but one of the three big brush things that got Rudd elected was "I will sign Kyoto, unlike the out of touch Liberals". (The other two were, "I will say sorry to the stolen generation" and "I will kill Workchoice") So at least back then there was a groundswell of people, AND the political will to at least look like you were on the side of fighting against Climate Change. These days, even though there is a huge popular movement and consensus that Climate Change is real, and we should do 'something' about it, there is no political will to be anywhere near any sort of meaningful action, lest one be called a greenie commo.

There's also the episode Smug Alert which is another in their series about how while some things might be bad, people who care and try to fix things are worse.

Manbearpig was confirmed real at the end of the original manbearpig episode wasn't it? I'm not a strong south park defender because my god is it gen x never try poo poo most of the time, but I thought that episode was pretty clear that everyone were being idiots for ignoring it.

As far as I can tell. Because of the whole "we have to pretend everything the government says is true" rule. So, it's actually going to be worse*. * unless you're rich**. ** But, but, but $308,000 isn't rich rich!

JBP posted:I'm worried about you all There are a couple of options to explain the picture then. 1) She is a robot impersonating the wife of the prime minister, because what human holds a child's wrist like that. 2) She is flashing a white supremacist sign. 3) She is flashing the sign that says "If you notice this I get to punch you" which hasn't been used outside of primary school ever. Unless you have a better reason?

There's no further "reason" required for this awkward photo. Like make a fist with your hand but put something in between your index and middle finger to see what happens.
