Totally, none of the more socialist countries have any of these issues whatsoever, completely climate neutral, zero emissions, zero toxic chemicals spills, no overfishing, no deforestation, no paving over everything with more roads and factories.

This, but unironically.

I wish I could live in your dream world. I‘m not even kidding, please give me a piece of the propaganda where I can for one second believe that socialism and some benevolent dictator or something is the magic pill to save the climate. It might soothe me. Link something.

A whole lot better than letting oil company ceos run the world into the ground

Agreed, I hope we have more sympathetic and nicer people in charge while we run the world into the ground too!

Since I‘m a woman, I feel like maybe we could let some more women help run the world into the ground too, just a lack of representation there that‘s a bit disappointing.

If the state wasn't being lobbied by the oil and gas industry we'd probably be able to actually invest in nuclear or solar, you're trying to make it seem like the core issues wouldn't be affected by private versus public running it, but conservative politics are what got us into this shit show with removing all economic stopping blocks to the private sector so if we removed the job of energy production from the private sector then we would naturally be able to fix the issue of running the planet into the ground by the very nature of why it's occurring in the first place.

Big oil only exists because 1. It's profitable, and 2. Republicans hate anything that doesn't directly make them and their friends money. They display zero long term thinking because they're a bunch of religious fascists who believe that because THEY think the world is going to end "any day now" we should have to adopt their "fuck the world cause it doesn't matter" mentality.
