Funny, the same thing happened when I realized that I'm Trans. It's almost as if capitalist ran media is incentivised to lie and decive in ways that cause permanent damage.

"But... but.... communism had never been tried!"

"That wasn't real communism!"

"Read the theory!"

"Communism is the solution to climate change."--- proceeds to industrialise Aral Sea leading to shrinkage; and built the Three Gorges Dam leading to the massive deforestation and loss of biodiversity in flooded lands

Communism, the movement, has been tried and is continued to be tried. Communism, the end status of a global worker Republic devoid of class antagonisms, has never been reached. These are completely acceptable and compatible statements.

This brings us to the third: read theory so you don't think this is some "gotcha" anymore.

Meanwhile the US alternates having a climate-change denier hold its highest office. Also it's military is currently the world's largest polluter.

Do you have any sources on this aria sea and three gorges dam business?

Wikipedia is one click away:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aral_Sea

Formerly the third-largest lake in the world with an area of 68,000 km2 (26,300 sq mi), the Aral Sea began shrinking in the 1960s after the rivers that fed it were diverted by Soviet irrigation projects. By 2007, it had declined to 10% of its original size

former United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called the shrinking of the Aral Sea "one of the planet's worst environmental disasters".

The Aral Sea region is heavily polluted, with consequent serious public health problems. UNESCO has added historical documents concerning the Aral Sea to its Memory of the World Register as a resource to study the environmental tragedy.

you are aware we didn't have the same complete view of climate change 80-100 years ago like we have now, right?

Now imagine it’s “capitalism” and all the movies, talking heads, schools, and rock stars are railing against capitalism.

If only we were acutely aware and presently suffered from one of those systems right now...
