i've seen you make worse post, so just posting random emojis might be a winning strategy for you. take care, mate...

sign up to the opposing cult to beat the cult

Emotional honesty is something the left will probably never understand. Their idealogy denies their own human qualities out of fear.

So, you’re going to vote accordingly with the left, regardless of who it is, or what they’re running on...& then call the other side the ‘cult’

>i am “politically neutral” but only voting for one party and f that other guy tryna make it as an independent

silly privileged lefties like you are a riot. keep sucking down those roid needles wierdo..pathetic

I mean, if you disagree strongly enough with the other side everything else will be more closely aligned with your values.

Unless you think they're not going to run Trump and swap over to a moderate-heavy Republican, in which case he clearly wouldn't be taking this stance.

I want the 2020 election to be literally Trump vs Trump

q.e.d.

these articles, of which I will link some examples below, take singular events like a hot summer or humid air (and subsequently heavy snowfall) in january as proof for climate change, or the seriousness/progress of climate change, even though any decently educated person should know that one or two events cant "prove" or "disprove" a trend.

I dont deny that there is a trend of increasing global temperatures, but you just cant deduce it from a hot summer or a precipitation-heavy winter. so in those cases, which are numerous if you actually look out for them, the liberal media is mistaking weather for climate, either out of incompetence or to help their cause. I was merely pointing out the hypocrisy this presents, considering how the same disciples of the church of climate change are always ready to jump on anyone who's doing the same thing, mixing up weather and climate, to argue against climate change.

"More pressure, more bans - since this summer, climate change is no longer a threat, it is reality! We finally need more executive crackdown in our everyday lives!"

The article uses the notion that the 2018 summer had "proven" climate change to be real once and for all as a peg for the following call for an authoritarian "eco-dictatorship", preferably on a global scale.

"Climate change is here - will we get another 'proper' summer, with some rain and without nonstop heatwaves? Probably not, at least for the time being."

"[...] Do you (the political leaders) seriously refuse proper measures for climate protection after this drought-summer in Germany, which according to research* was no just weather but climate?"

* the research they are referring to comes from a far-left millenial Oxford professor who made her M.Sc. in physics and then made her Ph.D. in philosophy (!) at one of Germany's leading breeding grounds for leftist ideology, the Free University of Berlin. This women, who doesnt even hold a science Ph.D., now claims to have devised complex statistical models based on even more complex models of the global climate which allow her quantifiy the degree with which certain weather events can be attributed to anthropogenic climate change. sounds like sorcery, doesnt it? anyway, even the dubious method from a dubious researcher that they are referring to only gives a probability (iirc it was 45%, it's now behind a paywall) that the extraordinary temperatures and dryness of the German 2018 summer were caused by manmade climate change - which the article omits to make a more dramatic point.

those are just three examples which I found with a quick google search. could probably find at least a dozen more if I invested more time into it, but this should suffice for now.

it is rather ironic that you speak about a 'church' and 'cult' of climate change when you just went full kellyanne, misrepresenting, sensationalising, and discrediting those articles in order to defend your initial suggestion, that they are as bad as trump's retarded 'cold weather means there is no global warming' logic.
meanwhile in reality it's an undeniable truth that it already HAS a massive impact on us. the increased occurence of severe weather events is a statistically proven fact. they not only endanger the lives of people, but also our wealth. the only 'church' in this conversation is that of you climate change appeasers who lack the farsight to realise that only acting now can save us from even more severe consequences in the future, and that we are the fortunate minority of this planet's population that can afford the expensive adaption efforts.

and even though you might lack the nuance to realise this is also not a black and white issue of alarmists vs deniers, i'm with you and many critics concerning some of our 'energy transition' policies - not so much on the 'clean coal' narrative, or that renewable energy shouldn't be subsidised like we did for decades with fossil fuel, but more on the practical realities and implications of buying even 'dirtier' energy - and in particular our over-hasty abandoning of nuclear energy, which is probably my biggest gripe.
so (eastern) europe and buying our neighbours' dirty energy are valid points, china and india are not. not only because they DO make efforts despite having a significantly lower standard of living, but also because their way of producing power has literally no relevance for our market.
