No, I basically mean a sailing ship. A ship with sails. I'm curious about the possibilities to cross the Atlantic with no/low CO2 emissions. I have adjusted the title to make this clearer!

There is a great story about that by the great writer Italo Calvino called 'the distance of the moon': https://irenebrination.typepad.com/files/calvino-italo-cosmicomics.pdf

Asia is a bit bigger (and more climatically diverse) than Korea.

I always thought it was moss, and that it was a sign I should go out more.

What are the strategic considerations behind the active spread of anti-vax theories? (mander.xyz)

cross-posted from: https://mander.xyz/post/933697

When it comes to spreading disinformation about climate change or the risks of smoking, I can clearly see how it protects economic interests (e.g. the value of the assets of the fossil fuel industry or the tobacco industry). I therefore understand that these lies are (have been) regularly pushed by people who do not necessarily believe in them.

But what are the strategic considerations behind the active spread of anti-vax theories? Who gains from this? Is it just an effective topic to rile up a political base? Because it hits people right in the feels? Is it just a way to bring people together on one topic, in order to use that political base for other purposes?

Or is anti-vax disinformation really only pushed by people who believe it?
