  1. Young people take global warming seriously, because old people told them to. That's the same reason first generation Muslim immigrants often end up more pious than their parents. The old people say things without really taking them to heart, but the children brought up with those things, really believe them.

  2.  @Spiritfba  Bullshit. There is no such assurance. Grandpa was already worried about recycling 40 years ago. You are not a revolutionary. You react exactly to the problems your parents made sure to include in your education. Since Al Gore made his movie, teachers have taught children about climate change.

  3.  @TheSpeep  But why do you take it serious? It's not like "Boomers" or "Millenials" have taught climate change in an apathetic manner. No they stress that it's an imminent danger. The greatest danger. And the people they taught that to, took it to heart in a way in which the teachers didn't.

  4.  @thatonedudebutwho9919  That's straight up denial of reality. Nothing has collapsed. In fact we are doing much better than I would have thought we'd do in such a situation. No concerts, parties, etc, yet most of the economy keeps going.

  5.  @Soleilune1995  They say that for exactly the same reasons the left does. A disregard for individual liberty itself.

  6. There was never an "ideology of neoliberal capitalism". There is people who are for more or less intervention.

  7.  @mikkykyluc5804  What kind of retarded nonsense is that? Far left opinions were very popular among our parents. There were masses of people openly supporting Mao and Pol Pot of the Red Khmer.

  8.  tyler t  During the last financial crisis governments spend a whole lot of money to save the economy. That's not classical or neo liberalism. That's Keynsian and it has prevented much suffering.

  10. My legs aren't as strong as I'd like them to be. So obviously I should saw them off.

  11.  @TheConstitutionFirst  This video lists Chiang-Kai-shek as socialist...

  12. Perhaps he does know better, because he was in precisely your position fourty years ago.

  13. "Centrist" doesn't mean that you want to "find balance". It means that on a perceived spectrum of political parties, you lie in the center.

  14. @Jesus I'm for the legalization of all drugs, for making all animal products illegal, against international law and nationalism in general, for drastically lowering the voting age, for beastiality and those are some of my less controversial opinions. Yet on the spectrum of political parties I would be a "centrist".

  15. I'm pretty sure not even most communists are that extreme. In such a world you'd be forced to work. And you'd be forced to work at something specific.

  16.  @julianocamargo6674  Marxism is a prophecy that failed. But you can manufacture a revolution as communists all over the world did.

  17. Sounds like you project motives while ignoring the arguments of your father.

  18.  tyler t  That's how we always have to judge history. Besides there were financial crises before.

  19.  @hollandscottthomas  He didn't kill "all of the socialists". He considered himself a socialist. You are confusing socialist with Marxist. The term has existed long before Marx.

  20.  @hollandscottthomas  What am I wrong about?

  21.  @hollandscottthomas  I've seen that video a year ago and it doesn't contradict anything I stated above.

  22.  @hollandscottthomas  He did. Your problem is still that you conflate socialism with left wing / Marxism, etc. The word existed before that.
