@hoptoads Not only I have put 2 and 2 together but I have visited many Eastern Block countries back when they were still under Soviet rule and communism. I have also lived in the US in the 90s for a few years. There's no comparison whatsoever. Things are worse now in the US and statism has grown disproportionately. I'll give you that. But you cannot imagine what was going on under the communist regimes. Things were really ugly and lives were destroyed en masse. P.S. Politicians were and are always corrupt. It's like complaining that your opponent is scoring against you. It is a GIVEN that these Bozos are corrupt. Hence, you need to vote for less power in their hands. Take the ball away from them. Vote for less government.

I'd add Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard and many many others in between. Marx became important only because a certain ideologically possessed mob (of intellectuals or not) found an excuse in his nonsense for expressing their envy on the success of others (usually regular working people) and tried to justify their usurping of power by virtue signalling. Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile (the philosopher of Fascism) who were both hard-headed Marxists prior to inventing/implementing Fascism, realized that the working class would rather fight under a national banner vs their economic class identity. This is why I consider Fascism as a branch of Marxism that simply shed the internationalist element of orthodox Marxism and replaced it with its opposite: ultranationalism. It kept its collective and anti-capitalist elements watering down the latter for propaganda and pragmatic purposes. Lenin's NEP was virtually identical economic policy to what Fascists implemented with the main difference being that Italy was a much more industrialized nation than Russia at the time. Marx was dismissed even by his most stout proponents in Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and the rest of them butchers who branched out their own versions of socialism/communism and, of course, fascism.

@justinwilson3987 you don't have to go to college and be an arts major to be an artist. That's free. Lookup history for confirmation.

@spb4455 what in the world are you talking about! "Kulaks" were named all those who opposed the regime and everything you wrote was just a poor excuse to displace and kill them (read Snyder's version of the Holomodor - it was a planned famine to kill kulaks and his sources were the briefly open to the public Soviet archives)!

@ Absolute, unashamed and utter nonsense! You taught in universities? Figures! What were your sources? The Great Soviet Encyclopedia (which I actually own)? Have you ever visited communist countries under an active communist regime? I have and once was a guest of a diplomatic mission in one. Stayed for quite some time. You have no idea what you are talking about!

@benthomas4544 same goes for you: you could be AI so why don't you just answer the question. Does it matter if it was posed by AI or a human? Arguments matter and those, last time I checked, aren't bound by a physical presence.

@dougpurdy2720 "The impacts of climate change include global warming, rising sea levels, melting glaciers and sea ice as well as more severe weather events." >>This is absolute nonsense and that NASA department should be ashamed for themselves for proposing this speculative nonsense and pretend to know what's exactly going on. They don't and the degrees of uncertainty that aren't communicated is, simply put: a scandal! On the other hand, the greening of the planet due to CO2 is an irrefutable fact. There's no way a glacier is going to melt from a 150ppm/v atmospheric CO2 increase in latitudes that are, most of the time, in deep subzero temperatures. Glaciers melt for other reasons, namely underwater warm currents and undermantle volcanic activity (mostly going undetected) not by a minuscule 3W/m2 from a theoretical (never lab proven) CO2 forcing! That's utterly absurd!

@john-ug7nc You don't get the complexity (and thus, manipulation) of the science involved. To determine a causal factor for a minuscule change in average temperatures (which some leading scientists in the field say it's meaningless to monitor, in the first place), is almost an impossible task especially if you are missing most pieces of the puzzle. We still know very little about basic stuff in atmospheric physics and weather phenomena. They still don't know what causes El Nino and La Nina cycles (ENSO cycles) and other major phenomena (I do have a hypothesis about this - undiscovered underwater volcanic activity on a mass scale that goes undetected in deep see environments). The CO2 forcing hypothesis is still a theoretical construct as the real world is extremely more dynamic and complex than becoming affected JUST by the supposed heat radiation (there's also convention and convection, clouds, cosmic rays, and who knows what else) that CO2 contributes. I mean, if CO2 is warming the troposphere then this warmer air becomes lighter and rises to the upper layers of the atmosphere and thus the warming effect is mitigated by complex and chaotic atmospheric dynamics. I am a scientist and have been researching the climate conundrum for over 15 years now, almost on a daily basis. The uncertainties that are not communicated by the government-sponsored scientists is a scandal!

@armandbourque2468 "avoiding and ignoring in your face real life situations. Ranchers, firefighters, foresters, search and rescue, don't doubt climate effects. Basement dwellers deep in the urban hive can postulate, posture, and clickbait. Facts on the ground say you're wrong." >>Absolute nonsense! Over 9000 scientists with PhDs have gone the extra mile and sign the Oregon Petition against the climate alarmism. 32000 scientists in total (just in the US alone) including top atmospheric scientists like Lindzen and Nobel Prize winners in Physics like Giaever and monolith scientists like Edward Teller and Dyson among thousands of others. The fact that you are not aware of that fact (and you are probably ready to accuse fossil fuel corruption for this - when in fact ALL major fossil fuel companies are in bed with governments!) tells me that you are getting your info from mass media. Not even the working group 1 of the IPCC report which supports none of that delirious alarmist nonsense!

@jasonthompson7230 "Kids might react better if they could see grown ups turning to face their problems instead of looking away so they don’t have to sacrifice an inch of their incumbency. Pathetic." >>What's actually pathetic is your conviction that bureaucrats and professional politicians and their government-sponsored scientists are telling you all there is to know about climatic systems (there's not ONE climate on the planet - you should know that) out there and that they are not trying to manipulate you like they obviously did with the most recent events (safe and effective mRNA drugs which would not allow infection to others and so on).

@niqjaw5009 "and even the IPCC previsions are always very conservative. The reality is always much worse." The IPCC's scientific part or Working Group 1 (WG1) is not alarmist at all. Nor are tyhe data from observations. In fact every single metric is actually improving. We have no signal for increase drought, floods, hurricanes, extreme events of any kind or burned area from wildfires. Every metric is improving! It is the WG3, the section for policy makers, that's excessively alarming and guess what? That sections is not written by scientists but by consultants, and, listen to this, needs to first be approved by policy makers themselves before publication!!!! In other words those who seek to be consulted by the report must first approve what the report tells them! You are incredibly naive and ignorant if you believe that governments don't deceive and exploit the populace!

@Richard482 Potholer54 is an idiot who doesn't know he's an idiot!

@john-ug7nc certainly not from 150 ppm/v of extra atmospheric CO2, forcing at the most 3W/m2! That's for sure! Did you know that science has yet to figure out the cause of the ENSO cycles (El Nino, La Nina?) What makes you think they know why the oceans warmed this year? My hypothesis is from immense underwater volcanic activity that goes undetected (don't imagine eruptions, just huge amount of extremely heated water seeping from the oceans floor). Did you know that just in 2023 they discovered more than 18000 (eighteen thousand) underwater volcanoes just in the Pacific? They didn't know of their existence until 2023 and there are estimations that talk about as many as 1 million of them! So stop pretending you know what's going on! Nobody does!

@Mythhammer No, I wasn't, but it makes sense for the government to withhold certain information secret for security purposes. Having said that, I can also see the dangers of that. These are very complicated and difficult problems to handle.

@katymcpherson7925 Even though it's never too late to try to instill a certain set of values that would prevent him from becoming vulnerable to dangerous ideas, I'm afraid the process takes much much longer and is part of lifelong education and conversations that take part from much earlier stages in life. If you have this kind of relationship and not some form of shaky balance between him actually listening to you and being triggered to have a reflex adverse reacting and not listen to you at all, I'd say communicate your fears to him and explain why that's important for you to do so.
