      Also, horrible example, coke is not water, yet you both-sides it because “it is a coke product”. Plenty of differences, a lot of them directly affecting people’s health. Or perhaps as apt as you obliviousness of how bad of a gaslight it is.

      Just say what you mean, “it is a coke product” is a metaphor for “it is influenced by American lobbyists” so you imply people should both-sides it and apply no nuance.

          What a garbage spew of accusations. This thread is about climate change, and it’s clearly you want to derail with a lot of baggage, which ironically enough, one side is still considerably worse than the other for each and every issue you try to shotgun with. I doubt you are American, and I doubt the why of each needs to be explained in anything other than an theathered echo-chamber.

          You are both-siding this and appealing to perfection as a solution, both common appeals used in manipulation, just like the majority of this theater is doing.

          Again, and again, and again, and again, and again …

          You don’t even deserve a compelling argument. That this other person is willing to slum, doesn’t mean you earned yourself a discussion. I laugh at fools, I don’t give them my time.
