    I wonder how many of those smug “you really beleive humans can affect the climate of the entire world 😏” types are now going on about the dems making hurricanes?

    This same person is also always both demanding the end of social assistance programs while loudly demanding they are given more funds and faster!

    And it’s not an unusual belief, unfortunately.

    Belief that weather control is possible is so common that states like Tennessee passed a law to ban geo-engineering / chemtrails. Meanwhile, another different conspiracy is that “the globalists” / “Bill Gates” / “The Rothchilds” / “George Soros” want to cram everyone into densely packed cities (15-minute cities) and they’re using the “climate change hoax” to make people give up their cars.

    If anybody knows any actual, working way to deprogram these cultists, I’d very much like to have some relatives back.

        Yeah, with an unknown effectiveness. Like, maybe it will rain 5% more, maybe 5% earlier, but no guarantees. But, despite that, it’s widely deployed just in case in some places.

        And if you seed open air with silver iodine nothing happens, which is why you can’t use that to, for example, make rain in the Sahara.

        You need clouds already up there for it to work, which means water vapour getting up there in a high enough quantity that it has liquidified again (that’s what clouds are: lots and lots of tiny water dropplets).

        So what exactly is the geoengineering process that’s put all that water up there in such quantity that there are clouds all the way to the horizon on all side, so thick that the sky becomes dark?

        Our capabilities are about the equivalent of taking a bucket of water from a “creek” passing by in the sky whilst this hurricane would require us to be capable of putting an ocean of water up there, which is nowhere near our capabilities.

          Yup, I said its possible to seed clouds to create rain. I didn’t say its possible to seed the sky to create rain.

            Well, I felt it wasn’t clear from your post that seeding clouds to get them to drop their water is literally the most weather “control” we are capable of doing with current technology.

    You see this sort of cognitive dissonance from tankies all. the. time.

    They shame Americans for the faults of their government implying we have a functional and legitimate democracy that is at the behest of the people.

    Then they say some shit like this;

    “Americans are directly guilty of the genocide because POTUS supported Israel and Americans elected POTUS.”

    Mfer, the ‘electoral college’ is who you’re mad at. And all those Americans you blame are mad at the same people.

      To clarify, the people on the electoral college are not the issue. They generally follow rules set by their state. If enough states pass laws agreeing to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact then the electoral college then just becomes an obfuscation of the popular vote, without the need to a constitutional amendment.

    from an anthropological standpoint, studying Homo Republicanensis is fascinating, but it is objectively horrifying that such creatures exist.

      Not hard to believe some one had a full time, shit-paying job and benefits.

            We wouldn’t. But when making demands its useful to make them in such a way that they are theoretically possible within the logic of capitalism as an economic system, but functionally impossible within capitalism the system of class domination. This teaches the workers through struggle the true nature of the system, it removes all doubt. Its a transitional demand.

        It’s so shameful to talk about what happens in the privy. Perhaps best to separate boys from girls until they are adults, at 25.

          Except that girls clearly become adult enough to marry and have kids at whatever age gets them pregnant. It’s obviously what God intended. /s

        Fuck, I have to be honest… I am neither a Republican or Democrat, but I haven’t figured it out either. I just look longingly at the 3 shells and think of the beach to assist the process, then turn the knob on the bidet. Best 27? Dollars I spent this year. While paper products are running scarce and another hurricane on the way, I’m glad I really don’t even have to care much about toilet paper anymore.

        I don’t think Marjorie qualifies as a hillbilly. She’s rich and can’t operate a computer. But between Vance and the Deliverance and all the other media, got some sorry examples of hillbillies. Fuck all them stereotypes. But yeah don’t fly your freak flag (pride, fist emoji, represent) in rural Appalachia

    Nah, don’t feel bad for her, she’s a selfish selfserving lying bitch. She isn’t dumb, she’s just willing to lie, heat, and destroy anything nice in front of her to get ahead.

    She knows what she is

    She should never have an ounce of power.

    That’s because Democrats aren’t human, they are demons.

    Can we re-freeze her and put her back in the ice cave where she was found? This is not the unfrozen caveman lawyer reboot I was promised.
