The condescension is deserved. The green movement has done more harm than help to clean energy by blocking nuclear power trying to push energy sources that were not economically viable. This was mainly due to emotional backlash against nuclear energy.
- uoaei 4y agoCondescension is never "deserved", you just decided to apply it.
- yCombLinks 4y agoWrong, condescension is a social tool to discourage an unwanted behavior. Accepting the negative behavior encourages others to do the same thing.
- denton-scratch 4y agoCondescension is actually rude, and for that reason not a smart way to persuade people you're right. It gets you upvotes on Twaddle or whatever, but only from people who already agree with you.
- yCombLinks 4y agoYes, it is rude. That's the point. It's not to convince people that already have their minds made up. It's to convince people that don't have their minds made up. They see they will be treated rudely if they adopt whatever the unwanted behavior is.
- denton-scratch 4y agoYou seem to be advocating bullying. I stand against that.
