America’s wealthiest people are also some of the world’s biggest polluters – not only because of their massive homes and private jets, but because of the fossil fuels generated by the companies they invest their money in.

Me go back to Reddit? Whoa. Reddit is polluted with left wing crazies. No thanks.

Yes, blue states are cesspools of humanity. San Francisco has been destroyed by your precious left wing politics. Stores are leaving , chaining up products, etc. all because a certain faction of society just can’t figure out how to get it right and live like you’re supposed to. Im not a big fan of pickup trucks myself. Not sure where you got that from. But petrol cars must remain available as the electric wet dream of the greenies isn’t going to work and they know it. How’s the slave labor driven lithium mining going for those precious batteries? Uh oh!

Communism sucks. We all know what it is. Are you really still one of those people trying to sell that turd? Show me where communism has worked… provide a link. LOL.

Lol I couldn't be as clueless as you even if I got a lobotomy.

Lemmy is founded and created by leftists and the entire fediverse concept is a very socialist idea. Some of the biggest instances are literally communist. I am not sure how you could possibly be here without noticing this.... Meanwhile reddit has been overrun with alt right dipshits for years but you think the opposite lol

Yeah San Francisco has problems. Totally proves the left wrong!! /s There is a a reason you people always use that example. Out of hundreds of cities worldwide, it's the only one you have. Doesn't stop SF from being a highly sought after place to live with some of the most insane rent in the world. Because unlike your Podunk town, people actually want to live there. You don't know it, but all you really said here is "I'm a huge pussy, afraid of cities because they contain black people and I'm pretty racist"_

I don't give all that much of a shit about electric cars really but every major automaker is betting their companies on electric cars being the future. So, lol, yeah I'm sure some dipshit on the Internet is smarter than all of those companies combined.

What I'm making fun of you for regarding communism is that there are many morons out there without a fucking clue what communism is, but they're still obsessed with it. You definitely seem to be one of them.

Hmmm. Reddit is way more left leaning and it’s is the center or center right people that get banned there. But, oh well.

Our Podunk town is quiet, friendly and doing quite well. We don’t want more people to come here, thanks. You act like that’s a problem. Amazingly, people like open spaces, limited noise, no WalMarts, etc. We even own an acre of land! Wow. Imagine that? But, please do insult us as your kind excels at. There are numerous blue cities that are in serious trouble. But, please ignore it. People and legit businesses are fleeing such places. Criminals are coddled, the police are hated, etc. OK then, enjoy the Wild West. This is what you wanted. Maybe you can personally house a few migrants and homeless dudes? Be part of the solution, right?

Communism is a guaranteed way for everyone to end up miserable. Just take a look through history. It isn’t hard to decipher why it’s unpopular.
