you're right, i should have been more precise. he's a proto-fascist and so are you. at least actual fascists have the self awareness and courage to act on their convictions, instead of turning them into entertainment for the very people they despise.

but please, oh great oracle, tell me more about what the universe feels about things. tell me more about the grand teleology only you can divine. tell me more about 'nature's' intentions. tell me more of what we all look like from the great archimedean point known only to that apotheosis of nihilist wisdom, the north american petiboog. tell me more about how it will all be better after 'nature' has purged itself of its jew human impurities. tell me more about how really, extinction is just better for everyone.

Youre right, you really do have to hand it to those actual fascists

we should respect people who know their interests and act on their convictions, because we should be people who know our interests and act on our convictions.

God Hole posted:

*exxon unilaterally suppresses all research warning of the imminent collapse of the biosphere for a generation and then bankrolls far-reaching disinformation campaigns to muddy the waters*

george carlin tho

exxon falsifies the info to keep the party going. carlin tells you the info doesn't even loving matter in the first place, because we don't matter, because 'the universe' doesn't care about us, cuz 'the planet' will be fine. which is worse?

trick question - both are worse. they're both figures of the same ideological formation. the view from nowhere is an anthropomorphic projection, a structural illusion built into bourgeois idealism. carlin was just a ventriloquist for exxon. cynical about everything except the conditions for the emergence of his own cynicism, unaware of his own structural function. a pathetic sop to boomer self-hatred and nihilism.

he is right though, it's the bougie environmentalist who want to take away our cars and our means to struggle and make a living

bicycle lanes isn't going to do much when no one can afford a bike or live in some gentrified area with bikeable commute, so we may as well enjoy our lives if no one wants to make a change on the policy level, because what else can you do

A lot of very rich people made sure that the health and welfare of the planet were intensely political subjects untethered to factual analysis and even dead gay comedy forums are but puppets who must dance on their strings.
