@bajax No but that makes sense actually because usually the industrial part that causes the most pollution is the early part before discovering the less terrible for the environnement ways of doing something

@bajax Even ignoring carbon dioxide which is a whole can of spaghetti in itself there are policies against dumping and smog that already exist and should probably be strengthened but perfect is the enemy of the good therefore if we don't fix it tomorrow we never will (that was a strawman)

@bajax When being told over and over that climate change is going to be the end of the world (I'm not going to pretend to be smart enough to agree or disagree with that) it makes sense that extreme environmentalists exist. What also doesn't help is their retarded ways of protest make people want to pollute more which is exactly what gigantic mega polluting companies actually want. Also the obligatory mention of China or India polluting nonstop because they don't give a shit and just want to get ahead. There's a line between "deindustrialization" and "get rid of all regulations let's turn the forest into a parking lot and/or hazardous dump" that gets lost in the sauce
You're not schizo btw

The US Democratic Party would stop being a joke if they abandoned all of the dumb social issues most people don't care about and tripled down on the whole "the economy fucking sucks here's how we fix it". It's so obvious even hacks like Ezra Klein have made books about it. They won't though because the people in charge care about social issues and are rich enough to benefit from the economy getting worse for the people on the bottom

TL;DR: IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID
