    I’m pretty sure we don’t have the same perspective anyways, because I’m not from the United States

    Thanks for pointing that out, yes, the labels would be kind of tricky, the meanings do not still static.

    Depending on who you read or watch, they may differ greatly.

    Like giving up freedom because conservatives like to make life easy for big corporations

    True, that is a problem all countries seem to be facing, where the owner class buys our politicians (with legal bribery, lobbying; or prop up people to push their agenda).

    I’m sorry if my “labels” have some connotation to you that I’m not educated on because I don’t take part in everyday-life in that society. I’ll remeber that there is a difference in perception among certain groups of people.

    I am also sorry, my views and use of labels change as I take in more information from people I do not agree with and from people I do agree with.

    He doesn’t see that politicians sometimes are idiots and things happen out of incompetence. He immediately sees a big and emotional conspiracy story behind everything, when in reality most of the times it’s just incompetence and/or simple greed.

    Yes, that is the problem I am with people similar to him. It is difficult to gauge if they are being honest or if they are pushing an agenda so as to gain something from it.

    I still watch them, so I do not create my own bubble (AKA an echo chamber), we can always learn something from people we do not agree with or do not think like we do, that is how I see it.

    Piers Morgan is a similar one, but in this case we know he does not own his channel or news company fully due to it being “owned by News UK, a subsidiary of the Murdoch family’s News Corp.”

    That quote is from a Financial Times article, where it is outlined by Sabby Sabbs (Another commentator I watch, (02:27:06] https://youtu.be/kbyyQ6Dv2xQ&t=8826

    And being proud to be uneducated doesn’t make you an appropriate “journalist”.

    You are correct that science has a lot of evidence that shows climate change is being caused by human activity. The problems arise when the push for Green Technology is high-jacked by the owner class, which makes people question and be criticial of everything, this could also be applied to COVID19 discussion (due to trillion/billion dollar companies and people like Bill Gates push for a product they directly contribute and profit from).

    And it may be because he’s pushing an agenda and trying to convince you to believe in lies. I agree, but I also put that label on all people with influence and power. I try to see what is it they are trying to gain or push by talking about certain things.

    That is why I try to watch people I do not agree with and people I somewhat do agree with.

    more the lying and being dishonest that I’m not okay with Many and I have gone through this as well, that is why I try to not create a bubble (echo chamber) for the views I hold, and I welcome people that are criticial of how I see the world.

    And most of it happens at the expense of the average guy.

    True, it boils down to the owner class vs. the working class.

    That is why some say: No War but Class War!

      Hehe. Seems we have arrived at similar conclusions. I think it’s a shame that so much is about emotion and so little about facts. At least on the internet and in political debate.

      I’m super happy with agreeing to disagree on opinions. It’s just that we have to agree on facts. Or there isn’t any argument to be made. And yeah, I -too- think filter bubbles are a major issue in society. And it’s self-reinforcing and is bound to happen in the mainstream culture.

      I think politics should rely on evidence and science. For me it’s super easy: What’s gasoline or oil gonna cost in 2035? We have a rough estimate on our oil reserves. If it’s like ten times the price of today, I can’t afford a car that runs on fossil fuel anymore. So I need an alternative. That’s probably an EV because we have a good idea on how to produce electricity with today’s cost out of wind, solar etc… And please manufacture these solar panels locally and do something for the domestic economy and not import everything from China.

      I don’t see many people lobbying for this kind of thinking. But i really think it’s as simple as that. Undortunately we have to act now and upgrade the grid and the power plants now. Because if we do a half-assed job now and only really start in 10 years, it’s gonna turn out very expensive for the average people. And we need energy for our daily lives.
