Why we need to hold climate criminals accountable with extreme prejudice right now in 2025, and to make the case for full transition away from fossil capitalism.

fossilcapitalism.Good luck getting them to do that. The real climate criminals live in the Vatican.
Nah get outta here with your weird cult bullshit. Here’s a list for you
Who the bestest boy/girl is.
To a dog, of course.
What I’ve got in my pocket.
That’s not fair! It’s against the rules!
Is it… MY PRECIOUS?!?
Your hand.
That this dress is white and gold. I mean, just look at it. It’s self-evident.

I still don’t see it.
I spent so long trying to make myself see blue-and-black. Kind of resigned that I can’t do it.
I’ve managed to game other optical illusions by covering bits of them up, to break the effect, and then slowly shift the amount covered. Cover one eye. Focus on one part of the image.
I can make the Necker cube be in either orientation.
I’ve seen The Spinning Dancer run in both directions.
But The Dress remains determinedly white-and-gold.
yea I can see the cube both ways
spinning dancer is only clockwise
dress is always white/gold
So what colour is this?
I actually was able to avoid this hype and never see 1 picture until now!
Its gold.
I’ve only seen blue and black
Nothing. These days? Not because I don’t know things, but because a lot of people refuse to accept new information, even when it comes from reputable peer-reviewed sources and there’s not much arguing with that.
Nah man, you’re wrong. Just saying. /s
No I’m not!
(I was considering just posting the Monty Python argument scratch instead)
Probably nothing.
Winning an argument would mean your opponent has enough sense to admit they were wrong, and I just don’t hold 99% of the people I come across to that standard anymore.
It’s pronounced gif
This one is one of the most stupid arguments IMO, the answer is so obvious that it’s impossible to defend the other side of the argument in writing without misspelling the word.
So you agree that it’s pronounced gif.
I win
Masterclass.
I got 2:
That there does not exist an argument one could reliably win on account of there always being someone people stupid enough to insist they are right even when confronted with absolute proof and perfect knowledge.
—————-
Any argument as long as i am willing to stop caring about facts.
Do mean, “what controversial topic would I be correct about”, or do you mean, “what can i make the other person shut up about”? Because those are different skills, and it’s the reason why politicians win over the public and scientists get derided.
I had intended the former, so I’m regretting my choice of verbiage now. Oops.
Why privacy is important
This parrot you sold me is dead.
Indiana Jones could have just stayed home and Raiders Of The Lost Ark would have ended the exact same way but without him dragging that one lady through hell.
That is one hell of a point. Where would the Ark have ended up though?
They’d have Top Men working on it.
Who?
Top. Men.
No bottoms? Sounds sus.
Honestly nothing. The more I read and listen about any topic that can be debated the more unsure I am of my stance. I’m pretty sure that billionaires simply shouldn’t be allowed to hoard so much money, but I’d probably fold under a multi-layered, informed rebuttal - it’s more a gut feeling that i’d likely fail to articulate.
What do you win? No seriously.
Winning means you shut down the other person and makes him feel stupid for being wrong? Then you havent won anything. You just lost.
The entire school system is explicitly training people to be afraid of being wrong.
You only learn something when you are wrong. It should be celebrated to be wrong. But in our culture, we have made it into a ego thing. That being right means you are better, smarter, more educated. Such bullshit.
What am i confident i can explain in-depth using facts, or what am i confident i can explain in-depth using facts AND have the other person understand and change their view/opinion on? Two different scenarios
