Scientists: “Just look UP!”

Conservatives: “DON’T LOOK UP! DON’T LOOK UP! DON’T LOOK UP!”

Science says this is very much happening across the world. The ecological impact of hydroelectric power generation is very, very well studied and agrees with the general sentiment of the article.

Fuck WSJ but let’s not ignore science out of spite.

I read up until the word “narrative”. Anyone using that word is way too influenced by corporate controlled media to be taken seriously.

I will die on this hill, because I’ve studied the evolution of right wing propaganda over the past 30 years.

Remember “Fair”, and “Balanced”? Remember “slant”? Remember “bias”? Remember “partisan”? “Narrative” is the new black, and it serves the exact same purpose- to convey the idea that everything is a matter of personal opinion, there is no right or wrong, and by extension there is no objective reality.

The purpose is to create a general sense that nothing you hear on the news is to be trusted, because everything is presented out of some hidden agenda, and since everyone has an agenda and everyone is obviously a miserly selfish narcissist like conservatives who ever only think about themselves, then why should you trust anyone?

Republican Agenda 101:

“Scientists say that a comet will annihilate all life on Earth one week from now.”
“Yeah they say that, but I heard that they are suicidal. They want the Earth to be destroyed! Did you know that they are also gay trans monsters who eat your babies at night? How can you trust them?”
“But the science…”
“That science was made by rich fat cat academics in the pockets of the government.”
“Actually, private corporations have far more inf…”
“*snicker* Oh great another nut conspiracy communist fascist democrat! What did I tell you, mob, they are all the same”

It’s so classic it’s not even funny anymore.

I thought fish lived in that shit.

Hi Actions! Have you met Consequences? I guess not, good thing the stocks go brrrr tho.

Hahahaha! Yeah, only private companies can dump their trash there.

Doiiiiiiii.

Landfill: Private

Contractor: Private

Government: Employs contractors

Along comes the lobbyists for literally the “Waste Management Business”, saying, oh shit there’s bodies in our dump it seems. Gov better finance digging the whole thing up and dispose of it elsewhere, on the governments/taxpayers buck.

Stock goes brrrrrr.

Not saying this is literally what’s going on, just that that exact thing has happened so many times it gets tiring predicting it.

That’s fucking AWESOME. There’s my vote right there.

You can cut the air in India with a chainsaw.

They are going there to clean up the toxic chemicals the government dumped there for decades. They are not looking for bodies. If bodies show up, maybe they’ll announce it but this smells very very suspicious.

I don’t like particularly this one either:

UN reminds Canada, Manitoba they’re breaching international law by not searching landfill

Hoser you’re breaking international law, not cool eh?
