When you type "Blatant virtue signaling is obvious" into IGN's comment section

Lol. What’d you type?

Lol. What’d you type?

You will never be able to unsee this

So true. Lol

All I did was use the words "virtue signaling" and the comment wouldn't post lol

That’s ridiculous. Just virtue signaling and that’s it?

Yea, "Blatant virtue signaling is obvious"

Geez. It’s ridiculous how things can get. Do they have a published comment policy? Some websites do.

Yeah it's kinda like how superchat filters work on YT, they don't let you say anything they don't like

Yeah. I’ve seen some sites that use disqus and have some draconian comment policies. You practically can only comment on the subject matter in the article.

This site has some pretty draconian comment policies. The give the ‘charity’ of editing comments with why and what the censor.

Haha looks like quite the popular shitposting spot /s

Do people badmouth the cars? Lol

I badmouth green cars

Some do. There are tons of virtue signalers though. I’m not as concerned about the cars; I actually want to get an electric car because I think it’s cool. I’m mostly concerned with the ‘lets force people to buy green cars’ attitude.

I do read through several environmental news/websites and I’ve noticed some SJW like trends in environmentalism. These trends aren’t new, but I’m wondering if they’ll gain more power. What do y’all think?

This article is just the tip of the iceberg.

Aren't electric cars bad for the environment too?

Well, not necessarily. From an emissions standpoint no. However,I don’t know what will happen at the end of the battery’s lifecycle. It is highly likely that they will be recycled, but that’s it’s hard to predict what will actually happen. I would argue that the relative impact of electric vehicles is less than gas, but it doesn’t justify forcing people to buy them. IMHO

I would recycle them. I like metalcasting

lead is really easy to work with

I’ve never done metal casting. Sounds cool. Most modern electric vehicles use lithium ion batteries.

I defer to the University of Minnesota's study. If the source of electricity comes from coal it is *significantly* more toxic than gas

I don’t know about that. I’ll check out that study and see what they did.

If the power supply comes from gas, the electric cars do half the damage as gas cars

However, it is easier to control emissions at the plant level and nearly impossible to control emissions at the tailpipe level.

Is it??

It depends on the standard

As much other problems as there are with the system, Commercial Diesel Exhaust is currently cleaner than what you exhale
