the mainstream solutions to climate change aren't socialist

The real issue is that there's a large scale misinformation campaign happening about these things.

Fear can be tackled with knowledge.

Thus people need to be misinformed to stay fearful.

For nuclear, allot of people's fears are still rooted in Chernobyl

There's another problem

Most people don't know what socialism means, and neither do they know what it is in reality.

I've been trying to inform

People easily ask for things when they don't know what those things really are.

Yeah but even then, even if we were to construct dodgy reactors that had a small risk of disaster.
Look at it from their perspective.
They think the apocalypse is coming. Within 12 years it’s all over according to them because of this climate thing.
It’s a certainty. It needs ww2 levels of response.
Ok.
Build some nuclear reactors.
Carbon free energy.
Oh, fkn no, we can’t do that.
We can’t have a *risky* situation.
Even if it avoids *certain* annihilation.
The fuck?

Actally, nuclear is the safest source, not a risky one.

I know that

according to who is it over in 12 years

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
