    I remember when disability rights groups pointed out that these laws were placing extra burden on disabled people that weren’t being put on everyone else.

    These laws accomplish nothing except make liberals feel good that they actually passed some kind of environmental rules. Meanwhile, conservatives are making sure they can legally torture gay kids, let billionaires get away with pedophilia, and burn lots and lots of coal. But we passed straw bans in a couple of cities. Yay us.

        Yes, and they surround themselves with enough menial nothing-problems to convince you they’re too busy to focus on frivolous things like “human rights” and “the fascist problem.”

          This does not convince me that we should redirect all effort away from environmental legislation. In my view human rights are very much intertwined with environmental stewardship.

            I agree. So why are we stagnating between fascism and neoliberalism? Neither of those are stewards of either human rights, nor environmentalism. One of the two works very hard to convince you otherwise while stuffing their pockets full of petroldollars.

        You know that US liberals have shitty success stories about anything anywhere in the last two decades, right?

            Sure it does. If government can focus on more than one thing, but there are limited success stories, what does that tell us?

          Well yeah, their base keeps alienating themselves from their own party and not voting for anything outside of clicking with each other in parks.

          Modern leftist are historically one of the most ineffective head up their own ass groups that ever existed.

          Anyone remember that time they convinced millions to stand in a street. Nothing came of it. But they did it. They are so proud they did it. Good times. Maybe they’ll do it again in a year or two. That’s what progress is all about
