Why taxing things that are causing harm to people is considered totalitarian?
- bluescrn 3y agoIt's potentially about centralised power literally taxing people to death (unaffordable housing/energy/transport) in a probably-futile attempt to modify the climate. Yes, climate change is very real. But my current opinion is that 'solutions' are not. Especially while we're still fighting/escalating/anticipating wars between nations. Solutions would take a truly global effort, but people generally don't want to sacrifice their democracies and have a 'new world order/world government' imposed upon them, let alone have their elected leaders puppeteered by shadowy forces 'above' them.
- t0bia_s 3y ago- Especially while we're still fighting/escalating/anticipating wars between nations. I'm surprised how many people have double-thinking. Bother about climate change and also fully support war production.
