Sure, there are self-hating people of all sorts of marginalized groups, but queer people are the only ones who get regularly talked about as if the people who oppress them are also queer.

Not true, pedophiles often fall in this category and there is even more evidence of this to justify correlation

This is exactly how stereotypes work. And no, they should not be taking super seriously even if they do tend to come from some real life examples

Personally, I am not super concerned if claims against homophobes are spurious, they do not seem to mind claiming gay people are pedophiles in disguise for example

I think they so often are claimed to be

They portrait themselves as raging homophobics just to then pretend to be gay? I don't follow

wtf? by what standard?

if the climate change inaction (or worse, sabotage) did not convince you, I am certain the COVID behaviour should have

Humans frequently band together during disaster

If they are directly affected sure... otherwise people may throw some money (which is usually promptly embezzled) and move on

humans care for their young and old

Their own young, sure let's say that is the common majority. Their own old? a lot more questionable. Other people's LOL... can't tell you how many people complain about their taxes feeding other people's children. But this is not an argument against what I claimed... what I said was basically echoing what Tommy Lee Jones beautifully said in MIB, in a nutshell: a human (as an individual) can be AMAZING, but humans (as a herd) tend to default to he lowest common denominator and that sucks!

humans don’t typically engage in cannibalism of the weak

what do you think capitalism is?

humans rarely fight to the death or even serious injury

Ok, now you are joking... no matter how old you are, I know with 100% accuracy that you have never lived in a world where, somewhere, there was a military conflict and people were being slaughtered... I know because we have not had such a time since 1816 (and that may just have been an absence of records)

I think it's because they so often are ... It's becoming a stereotype now

Have we? Or do we just call it something else and make sure not to look?

All these claims are simply taking a look at a different angle.

It's like saying "cars pollute" and you reply with "but have you seen the beautiful colours they come in and how much faster than mules they are"

You are not wrong but neither are the people claiming humans are, as a herd, fairly dumb and incredibly selfish

The title reads: "we can solve the climate crisis, but we won't"

I don't read it as that... To me it looks like being afraid of leaving the closet causes homophobia

This is the same principle as small penis men buying large trucks... They are doubling down on the homophobia display to over compensate for their homosexuality

So translating Musk to reality, they probably have 2 robotic arms working of a pre programmed algorithm that make them go back and forward

If this isn't enough prove that wall street is just a giant gambling casino for the rich to speculate, nothing will be

Fair enough. And no worries - tone sometimes gets lost or misinterpreted when commenting on the intertubes :)

My kids often complain/make fun of me because I overuse the "..." they say I write too ominously LOL

Honestly, by the time we get to that point, I hope that mass transit has improved enough such that a car is no longer critical to have in most urban/semi-urban areas of America. But that also depends heavily on how politics pan out in the coming years.

For what it’s worth, I absolutely agree that the pervasive data-gathering bullshit they are trying to push on everyone is messed up.

I agree with you and hope you are right re public transit
