Apologies if you weren't aiming the criticism towards me. I'm a bit too tired to be writing comments now. LOL

Huh? All I'm saying is the extreme left (the actual extreme left) is communist, not fascist. There's a difference.

I'm again all authoritarianism, whether it be communism, fascism, theocracies, etc. Not sure what would make this a right-wing thing.

You know, I always find it funny when within someone's hysterical rantings they deem who needs help.

Your exaggerations continue as you compare a child checking out a controversial book from a library to smoking, drinking liquor, making porn videos, or buying guns. These things are not comparable, not even to the point that it supports your argument.

And you know it.

As you also know that there's no such thing as a "lefty fascist". I mean, really dude - the actual extreme left is bad enough with Communism. No need to make shit up.

Equating librarians making controversial books available to all, to them "wanting to control how you raise your children" is one of the most disingenuous exaggerations I've ever heard. They aren't forcing children to check out the books. Adults can still supervise their children. And I guarantee your kids will hear things you don't want them to at some point in their lives apart from what they see in libraries. It's just part of growing up.

You're picking a strange hill to die on.

It's less about the ideal global temperature than it is the rate of change of the global temperature. Something slow enough that we, and other life we depend on, can comfortably adapt to is best.

If you like consumer protection and increased safety, you'll get slower growth and less innovation.

Maybe consumer protection and increased safety could be considered innovations themselves?

- (intel based versions at least) overheat constantly with screaming fans, I'm hopeful that when I can afford an M* upgrade, this is addressed

I use an old MacBook at home, but this issue has to be the most galling to me. Apple knows overheating is an issue. But they don't want to put proper cooling into the machines because it will gasp make the form factor unappealing or something. So instead, when the machine inevitably gets too hot it will actually slow down the processor to compensate. Seriously?

Hitler was elected on a campaign of democratic socialist reform, promising to end authoritarian abuses and protect the working class from systematic and institutionalized oppression by a privileged elite.

Not sure where you get this from. Hitler was appointed chancellor by president Paul von Hindenburg under the advice of Franz von Papen. It was a political ploy by Papen to return to power that backfired badly.

Whether or not speech is popular has fuck all to do with whether or not it has virtue. Popular opinion can be right or wrong. Unpopular opinion can be right or wrong too.

Being edgy doesn't automatically make someone right. When it comes to what to "stick up for" there is only good or bad or right or wrong. The rest is all theater.

Who do you consider the open communists? I don't think there's a big wave of people supporting a one party authoritarian government that can send people to a Gulag.

To be an open Nazi then you pretty much have to be xenophobic, racist, and violent when you can get away with it by default.

The Nazi's were the socialist party of Germany and aren't especially distinct from any other socialist movement.

What do you consider the Social Democratic Party (SPD) that was banned by the Nazis to be then?

Not sure why this post is currently modded as Flamebait. It's the obvious, direct answer to the question.

I won't link to the IPCC reports because they are easy enough to find.

Maybe you should. Just to be clear, is this the executive summary you are referring to?
