Sure, but then so is the whole “climate emergency” in the first place.
Glad to see the Trotskyites and Stalinists start to turn on each other. If they’re fighting amongst themselves, they’ll never get around to enslaving the rest of us. Good riddance!
- joekunin 6y agoHow do you figure, about the climate emergency?
- guscost 6y agoYou exhale CO2. You exhale viruses. The campaign to remake society in response to these threats is, in its purest essence, a campaign to redefine the free human being as a toxic animal. If successful, it will then be used to justify slavery and murder.
- syberspace 6y agoSorry what? When has anyone ever said breathing is the cause for climate change? Or even talked about disallowing breathing?
- guscost 6y ago“In its purest essence”
- syberspace 6y agoAgain, you are saying that breathing causes climate change? In its purest essence?
- guscost 6y agoNo. I am saying it is not at all a coincidence that these are the biggest/baddest “existential threats” prompting political activism. The solution to both is to enslave you, ultimately. Not a coincidence!

- bioinformatics 6y agoCO2 is pollution. Do you like to pollute everywhere you go?
- fatsdomino001 6y agoIf you're defining CO2 as pollution... then you are in fact polluting everywhere you go, because you're breathing.
- tectonic 6y agoI’m trying to figure out if this is performance art.
- guscost 6y agoIt is information warfare, but real talk, what’s the difference?

Do you think modern industrial societies are not capable of outputting enough greenhouse gases to alter the climate?
- samizdis 6y ago> Glad to see the Trotskyites and Stalinists start to turn on each other. Actually, that has been a thing for ages - even during Trotsky's lifetime he wrote scathingly about Stalin and his policies/politics. (Edit to add this parenthetical comment: Oh, and Stalin had him assassinated in exile.) The piece linked [1] offers some insight into this, and it also shows wider splits, fragmentation and arguments; it is written from a socialist perspective. It's an engaging read. For drier considerations of Stalinism and Trotskyism, I'd just start with the Wikipedia entries for each - see [2], [3] - and for light relief afterwards, maybe watch the Python film Life of Brian, which actually captures rather well the concept of "splitters" and factions.

- guscost 6y agoYep, it is just a figure of speech here.
