Their perspective

Is that it isn’t

a lot of lefties critique the dems for being too soft on climate change

The entire left side of politics

Also, the reactors that failed weren't thorium reactors. Which is what we should be using

Yeah, so when we eliminate known problems within nuclear, it would be even safer than it already is.

Essentially it would be a near non-existent threat.

Better than solar, ironically.

I can give you an idea how strong the propaganda machine is when it comes to these feared things.

My grandfather protested the Zwentendorf AKW (nuclear power plant) in Austria.

He spent his whole life on it and lived exlusively off donations. He had 8 kids that he neglected.

They're still working out their issues from this.

He successfully stopped the plant.

Thanks to him, Austria is worse off.

All because of fear turned propaganda.

He thought he was a hero. His supporters thought he was a hero.

They still believe it. Even his kids believe it. Some of them may not even want to believe otherwise, I mean what other good thing can they say about their dad if not that.

That he had conviction

He died of old age and will never get to know the truth: that he fell for a lie and wasted his life, and his children's lives.

What is a conviction if it's based on fear, not facts?

Is that really commendable?

And now the CO2 situation is the same as the nuclear situation.

Just confuse people with some graphs. Graphs work wonders.

Put on a lab coat, look like a scientist, have a PHD. It works wonders.

Does not matter how much you get paid for your bias.

The modern world suffers from something that the old world also suffered from: false authority.

Or you could say false prophets...

Conviction is just adherence to your principles, wether they're wrong or not

It's technically a virtue

If I'm convinced that I can live forever if I cut off my right arm, is that virtuous?

In a sense

I find that very objectionable.

Like all things, even virtues are dangerous in the extremes

But who says what is extreme?

I think the future is nuclear, so, actually *in the long term* it is better to currently support these idiots who wish to abolish carbon for the sake of Global warming.

Isn't it also extreme to sacrifice your life in exchange for the life of your children?

But you wouldn't call that a dangerous virtue

The thing is that we must open the gates for the nuclear.

@yordanyordanov no, Because they don't want nuclear either

This is why we must pressure them to choose either carbon or nuclear.

These green bullshits are just inefficient.
