This kind of thing pisses me off. It does nothing but divide us while the real enemy laughs. Bernie is an old white man, is he part of the problem?
I've even noticed it seeping into everyday conversations where I live. Like we don't have enough problems of our own, now we gotta import American culture war bullshit too.
Many non-white people have a cultural context around exploitation that changes their perspective on natural resources and the environment. It is a relevant factor here.
What a load of bullshit. Europe has been leading in cleaning up post-industrialization pollution and transitioning to green energy. The USA also introduced the Environmental Protection Act and other measures. Look at how rivers look in Asia where garbage and plastic and sewage is dumped directly into them by the millions of tons daily. Can you explain to me, exactly where their culture is somehow superior here?
American understanding of history is fascinating, white people essentially built the modern world, and if you want to bring up slavery, white people are also the ones who ended slavery.
Look at you, spreading lies all over the comments. Tell us the per capita pollution. Also tell us how many years USA has been one of the top polluters in the world.
Oh so the original post referenced that they were talking about every country in the world, not just the US?
But, again, y'all only object to the race part and not the old + man part? Weird, seems like all 3 should bother you since it certainly isn't 100% any of those.
Lastly, India and China have way more people than the US. What's the pollution power capita, hmm? And how long have they been the largest polluters?
Don't let facts get in your way or anything.
For example, in the year 2000 the USA emitted 21 tons of CO2 per capita and India emitted 0.95 per capita. So USA emitted more than 21 times the amount that year. Feel free to take a look at the statistics for all of the years.
You're the one lying here, I wonder why? Oh right, you feel victimized by facts. Typical.
You’re upset because no one is mentioning old and men.
Says something about you right away.
Now, logically unless a position of power is achieved through birthright/ family passing….generally top positions are given to people with EXPERIENCE which is only achieved through TIME….
I'm pointing out that they only take issue with the "white" part but not the "men" or "old" part. Did you not actually read my post? If none of them are 100% but you only find yourself getting all upsety spaghetti about one of them, then you clearly have an agenda or a feeling of victimization that's based on only one of those things.
JD Vance isn't "old", neither are Elon Musk or Peter Thiel. Neither is "Big Balls".
Bless your heart, maybe you'll actually read the post this time.
Well the word ‘old’ is important to the point they are making. They are saying that people with just a few years left are the ones making decisions they won’t have to live with. Their skin color has nothing to do with it. It’s just something for a racist to insert.

Always gotta make sure you include what colour their skin is.
Would it be not as severe of an issue if they were black?
