(BadEmpanada Live: ) Talking about how Climate Change is now completely off the agenda for everyone and how grim this is for everything.

This fuckin’ guy again
The last US president spent about half a trillion dollars making a really significant dent in US carbon emissions, it was one of the small handful of big things he actually was able to accomplish. Nobody knows that happened, because the entire media landscape is made up of idiot streamers who say things like:
I mean, that’s accurate. Donald Trump is so much worse than Joe Biden on climate change. You can’t just say it and then say “blah blah blah” at the end and make it not true. “We” forgot it in the sense of there no longer being any action at all by the US government on it, but don’t put that on me, man.
If every single country in the world had Joe Biden’s climate policy, the world would be on track for a 40% reduction in emissions by 2030. Is that enough? Fuck no. Is it better than what’s happening? You tell me man.
I don’t know who the fuck the “we” is in this guy’s universe but I have certainly not forgotten about climate change. I do think it’s moderately likely, given his apparent hatred for any of the new crop of progressive candidates coming up, that he forgot about climate change during all his coverage of the 2020 election and how to look at it, and now he’s making his second video in five years about the topic saying how important it is and how “we” forget about it.
Trump’s trying to reinvigorate coal, trying to cancel nearly complete wind projects, removing the homeowner solar credit, took $1B (is that right number?) from fossil fuel companies during his campaign, pulled us from the Paris Accords, on and on and fucking on. I cannot fathom anyone comparing his climate record to Biden’s.
Yeah. I wasn’t even going to bring it up, just going to complain about BadEmpanada in general, but the instant I looked inside the video I saw this “BIDEN BIDEN BIDEN” stuff. Wtf lol? Why did things instantly go in that direction? Especially in conjunction with basically the only other thing I know about him (that he HATES Graham Platner and Mamdani and is willing to lie about them to encourage people not to support them) (edit: also Bernie Sanders), it seems like kind of a weird addition.
I think The Man has gotten super-good at this point in smuggling “fellow leftist” propaganda streamers into the discourse to spread his messaging, and I’m disappointed that Lemmy seems so gullible to constantly post them as long as they make the right kind of noises about Israel to give themselves cover and credibility.
Lemmy believes anything that fits the zeitgeist around here and then makes fun of conservatives for doing the same. Someday I’m going to craft a perfectly fake post that fits prevailing opinions around here, bet it blows up.
