We agree that clean energy and social safety sets are worth demanding and preserving. Externalities are a real problem and yes, they need to be compensated for.

> And frankly, I can't think of anything more deserving of contempt than a person willing to accept the harm to others for a slight increase in convenience.
Before you claim moral high ground here, you should take a good hard look at yourself and all the conveniences you enjoy and make sure you're absolutely consistent with this principle. I'll bet you'll find that you're not.
- sophacles 3mo agoWhat a weird statement. Just like you think if something isn't the worst it must be fine, and how if someone isn't destitute they couldn't have suffered financial harm, now you're trying to claim someone who isn't the perfect paragon of morality the must not be able to have a higher standard of virtue than someone actively advocating for the harm of others. It comes across as incredibly defensive.
- otterley 3mo agoThere are stories you're telling yourself (especially the unfounded and frankly insulting belief that I'm "actively advocating for the harm of others"). Perhaps you should seek clarification instead of jumping to conclusions. And check the ground beneath you before criticizing others. I told you multiple messages back that you're getting way too personal about this issue and need to back off. I'm done with this thread. Go attack someone else.
