If every time you’re shown an inkblot you see right wing talking points materialize in front of your eyes, it may be time to take a break from social media.

If you think net zero’s failures are a right wing talking point it might be you failing the Rorschach test

Bringing up net zero in a thread about semiconductor manufacturing is a complete non sequitur. Fabs run on electricity which is quite easy produce without emitting any CO2.

Only if you ignore supply chains, manufacturing, procurement of raw materials, grid balancing, and so much more.

You're, of course, misrepresenting what I was replying to. Here it is again:

> 'green everything, at all costs' and importing millions of unskilled people who don't share your values

Are you in good faith attempting to argue that those sentiments are not predominantly right wing talking points?

They may be but that doesn’t make them wrong. I don’t keep track of what everyone on any “side” tall about and how many percentages do what. That’s noise. The arguments are valid regardless of who says them.

Was there anything in my initial post that made a judgement as to the validity of these talking points?
