It's just a mindset, besides some minor beliefs they're just the same sort of people you are. I don't know if you'd consider me a leftist woke person, I feel that's something a younger generation is doing, and an older generation is enabling with the cancel culture and such.

But I do feel the same way you do about the wokes about conservatives, when they're dismissive of climate change, when they're rejecting social medical care, when they're taxing the poor and benefiting the rich, when they're not understanding of the BLM protests, when they're taking away personal freedoms, when they're practicing their twisted version of Christianity when you know that if they ever met Jesus they'd be the first ones to nail them to the cross. I wish they'd snap out of their delusions and see how they're against everything they should be for.

View on HN

You're parroting the beliefs of the woke so chances are high that you're woke, I hope you can turn it around. You have a very confused outlook on life that does not match reality. I'll give you some pointers:

Climate change. Weather, been going on for all time. I'll pay attention when rich people abandon their seaside mansions.

Taxing the poor. Tax was invented for this.

The BLM movement was a farce. Nothing good came from it, period.

The c19 lock-downs took away our personal freedoms. 911 messed with travel a lot but these recent lock-downs are a whole new ball game (and the future does not look bright).

No one alive met Jesus, don't be ridiculous. He wouldn't be allowed to be a carpenter without doing safety training courses first, if he was alive. No one would nail him to a cross, he'd be on his cellphone like everyone else.

Is this a parody account?

It's hard to believe someone on HN would be this anti-science and pro-racist as your comments have been.

You're not discussing with people with sincerity. You misquote people, and then call them names because it doesn't fit with your viewpoint (whatever that is).

I've flagged all your comments, because you cannot seem to behave in any reasonable capacity.

Imagine being so eager to silence other people, and resorting to dishonest claims to do so.

You're not helping. Maybe try and ask a question or contribute some knowledge. This person is misinformed and all you're doing is cement his beliefs that his opponents are clueless and spiteful.

I'm not misinformed, I've helped you with some doses of reality but those go contrary to what you've been spoon fed and believe. It's OK agree to disagree unless you're a leftist then the other must always be derided "spiteful", "clueless", or "hate" (different thread) - all sort of nonsense like that.

There is a difference between misinformed, and being an intentional troll.

You may feel its trolling but it is not.

He's not, you're just feeling triggered.

Well if I am, that's a new name to describe me because I've held these beliefs for over 20 years.

You are wrong about climate change. Ask your local weather service, the weather's not what it used to be. When the rich abandon their seaside mansions, you'll be too late, because the mountain retreats they'll go to they've already bought.

No, taxing was invented to fund the government (and later expanded to counter exponential wealth consolidation, but we're not allowed to talk about that very much).

The BLM protests achieved awareness, and that's all that was needed, and that was most certainly warranted.

The c19 lock-downs have since lifted, as we're in a democracy, and a civilized society we do these things for our own good to get out of a prickly situation. I get that for you being uncomfortable for a short while was infuriating, but maybe you'll be stronger the next time around.

I'd like to believe Jesus would be happy to do safety training courses, what does that have to do with anything? Anyway, the way I hear these conservatives talk about socialism, being tolerant to one another I don't think they'd like his TikTok very much at all.

It is a forgone conclusion that those with extreme wealth will have prime pick of location if they need to abandon their seaside locations. I'll repeat, I'll wait for that to happen (I don't have much choice but to do that, unless you assume I'm extremely wealthy).

The BLM protests caused widespread destruction. Michael Jackson achieved worldwide awareness with Black or White, that was 1994 - things have only ever improved in the west since that time (and would have regardless of MJ's song).

> The c19 lock-downs have since lifted

Have they? No, not in the country I reside.

You're dancing around it. Climate change is happening because human activity is causing it, and human activity can change to reverse it, just like we reversed our effects on the ozone layer. I know you know that's true, so don't lie about it saying it's the weather and make jokes about moving when it gets bad. You don't need to inconvenience yourself, keep driving that Dodge Ram 1500 for all I care, but don't fucking deny it because the government needs to deal with this shit and deal with it now.

For what it's worth, the effects of climate change are much worse than the rising of the oceans, focusing on that was a mistake of the climate alarmists. We'll have famine and war much sooner than the rising oceans will affect the rich.

Well that explains at least some part of it, you have absolutely no idea what the protests were about. They were about the police brutality that stems from the incompetency of officers bred from the American policy on police training. MJ singing about racism has almost nothing to do with that.

I haven't lied once. I don't believe in what you believe in regarding "climate change", period.

> you have absolutely no idea what the protests were about.

Your true nature shines through.

Floyd's death was an opportune event for BLM to leverage, BLM rioters then left nothing but destruction in their wake. Nothing positive came from BLM, their legacy is hypocrisy.

What is it that you don't believe about climate change? The idea that we're emitting more CO2 than a hundred years ago? Or the idea that this is causing us to regress to the climate that we had before our hydrocarbons were sequestered? Or the idea of the greenhouse effect that makes CO2 heat up our planet more?

Is there something on this page that you don't find believable? https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/

What is my true nature that shines through in that statement?

Why was Floyd's death opportune for BLM, what do you think the motivation was?
