I guess there are no laws against child-size assault rifles, so they need to sell a few million before a law or two are written to preclude children from owning their very own AR (excuse me, JR). Does it matter what size the bullet is? Will firing it point blank at another child (or your mom when you're really pissed) keep them from injury?
This is just one more notch on the tax-exempt gun manufacturers belt. Children were already killing children prior to this new and improved assault weapon's debut. Now it'll just make it a little easier, and the injuries and deaths a little greater. But the kiddies will be proud to own an assault weapon just like mom and dad, and schools will be investing a great deal more money in bulletproof windows to keep those wee ones safe. Corporate America salutes them all.

I guess there are no laws against child-size assault rifles, so they need to sell a few million before a law or two are written to preclude children from owning their very own AR (excuse me, JR). Does it matter what size the bullet is? Will firing it point blank at another child (or your mom when you're really pissed) keep them from injury?
This is just one more notch on the tax-exempt gun manufacturers belt. Children were already killing children prior to this new and improved assault weapon's debut. Now it'll just make it a little easier, and the injuries and deaths a little greater. But the kiddies will be proud to own an assault weapon just like mom and dad, and schools will be investing a great deal more money in bulletproof windows to keep those wee ones safe. Corporate America salutes them all.

[{"content": "POLITICS\n\nDoes Inhaling Gunpowder Damage Your Brain?\n\nHow else to explain giving grenades as gifts or selling child-sized AR-15s\n\nI've decided that inhaling too much gunpowder damages your brain. Ya know, like sniffing glue. How else to explain people who think that running a combination gun range and wedding venue is a good idea?\n\nGuns and alcohol. What could possibly go wrong?\n\nOr how about the brand-new Republican Representative from Florida, Cory Mills, who thought it was a good idea to send grenades to his fellow Republican Congressmen and invite them to \"come together?\"\n\nBonding over explosives. Only in America.\n\nFirst of all, I will admit that the grenades were inert, so my apologies to anyone suffering PTSD resulting from the violence of Jan. 6.\n\nRest assured that no congressmen were hurt in the giving of this \"gift.\"\n\nBack to gunpowder damaging your brain.\n\nApparently, it is a tradition for new Republican members of the House to gift items from their home states to their fellow Republican legislators.\n\nFlorida. Hmmm ... what would you have gifted your fellow party members? Citrus fruit? Disney tee shirts? Key lime pies?\n\nWho in their right mind would think that grenades are the perfect gift from Florida?\n\nAccording to the letter accompanying the grenades, they were manufactured in Florida (who knew?) and were developed during the Vietnam war.\n\nOh, so he is giving them reminders of a war that we lost?\n\nThese grenades are not meant to be thrown by hand like in Hollywood movies. They are made to be launched by the MK 19 grenade launcher.\n\nSo he gave them the ammo without the gun? Is that anything like giving people mags from ARs but not the ARs?\n\nAnd about that \"coming together,\" Cory, sweetheart, grenades blow things apart. They don't bring them together. That's the purpose of grenades.\n\nThis guy is supposed to be an Army vet. You would think that he would know shit like that.\n\nObviously, he inhaled way too much gunpowder during his army days.\n\nThink being gifted a grenade is horrifying?\n\nHow about child-sized AR-15s? Yup, you too can now buy your son or daughter their very own child-sized battlefield weapon. Ya know, to use until they grow into the adult-sized ones.\n\nWell, much like the inert grenades, these guns are actually .22s but they look exactly like a scaled-down AR-15.\n\nThe manufacturer, WEE 1 Tactical, advertises the gun, called the JR-15 (get it?) as \"an ideal weapon to 'teach a younger enthusiast.'\"\n\nI call it an ideal way to get your child killed.\n\nMy biggest worry is trigger-happy police officers.

They are made to be launched by the MK 19 grenade launcher.\n\nSo he gave them the ammo without the gun? Is that anything like giving people mags from ARs but not the ARs?\n\nAnd about that \"coming together,\" Cory, sweetheart, grenades blow things apart. They don't bring them together.

[{"content": "POLITICS\n\nDoes Inhaling Gunpowder Damage Your Brain?\n\nHow else to explain giving grenades as gifts or selling child-sized AR-15s\n\nI've decided that inhaling too much gunpowder damages your brain. Ya know, like sniffing glue. How else to explain people who think that running a combination gun range and wedding venue is a good idea?\n\nGuns and alcohol. What could possibly go wrong?\n\nOr how about the brand-new Republican Representative from Florida, Cory Mills, who thought it was a good idea to send grenades to his fellow Republican Congressmen and invite them to \"come together?\"\n\nBonding over explosives. Only in America.\n\nFirst of all, I will admit that the grenades were inert, so my apologies to anyone suffering PTSD resulting from the violence of Jan. 6.\n\nRest assured that no congressmen were hurt in the giving of this \"gift.\"\n\nBack to gunpowder damaging your brain.\n\nApparently, it is a tradition for new Republican members of the House to gift items from their home states to their fellow Republican legislators.\n\nFlorida. Hmmm ... what would you have gifted your fellow party members? Citrus fruit? Disney tee shirts? Key lime pies?\n\nWho in their right mind would think that grenades are the perfect gift from Florida?\n\nAccording to the letter accompanying the grenades, they were manufactured in Florida (who knew?) and were developed during the Vietnam war.\n\nOh, so he is giving them reminders of a war that we lost?\n\nThese grenades are not meant to be thrown by hand like in Hollywood movies. They are made to be launched by the MK 19 grenade launcher.\n\nSo he gave them the ammo without the gun? Is that anything like giving people mags from ARs but not the ARs?\n\nAnd about that \"coming together,\" Cory, sweetheart, grenades blow things apart. They don't bring them together. That's the purpose of grenades.\n\nThis guy is supposed to be an Army vet. You would think that he would know shit like that.\n\nObviously, he inhaled way too much gunpowder during his army days.\n\nThink being gifted a grenade is horrifying?\n\nHow about child-sized AR-15s? Yup, you too can now buy your son or daughter their very own child-sized battlefield weapon. Ya know, to use until they grow into the adult-sized ones.\n\nWell, much like the inert grenades, these guns are actually .22s but they look exactly like a scaled-down AR-15.\n\nThe manufacturer, WEE 1 Tactical, advertises the gun, called the JR-15 (get it?) as \"an ideal weapon to 'teach a younger enthusiast.'\"\n\nI call it an ideal way to get your child killed.\n\nMy biggest worry is trigger-happy police officers. Whenever they see a \"suspect\" with anything that even vaguely resembles a gun, they shoot first and ask questions later.\n\nChildren, holding toy guns, have been killed by the police. Police officers don't bother asking the child if the weapon they are holding is a toy gun or a real gun. They just (say it with me) shoot first and ask questions later.\n\nNow imagine the police being notified by a busybody neighbor that little Johnnie is running around his backyard and firing an AR-15. Do you honestly think that the responding officers are going to stop and check to see if Johnny is holding a JR-15 or an AR-15?\n\nNope, they will just fire every round they have to protect themselves from a perceived battlefield weapon.\n\nWhat kind of a parent buys their child something that will paint a target on their backs (and fronts)?\n\nFortunately, seven senators, including the normally milquetoast Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) are urging the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate \"the marketing of highly lethal firearms, including assault-style rifles, to impressionable young people.\"\n\nWee 1's response?\n\n\"It's a misnomer that this product is being targeted and advertised to children. Children can't buy it.\"\n\nReally?\n\nChildren can't buy the toys advertised on TV either and yet toy manufacturers spend millions marketing toys to children, not their parents. You never see any commercials for Barbies during Sunday Night Football, only during PAW Patrol.\n\nThe only way that I can explain why anyone would think that manufacturing child-size weapons of war and any parent who would actually buy a child-size weapon of war, is that they have all inhaled way too much gunpowder.\n\nYa know, every time I think that this whole \"everybody needs an arsenal to protect themselves\" thing can't possibly get any worse, it does.\n\nAnd why is it that no one in the heavily armed parts of the country can see how insane this all is?\n\nMust be the gunpowder.

I don't think gun manufacturers are tax exempt. They are exempt from being sued so they can't be held accountable for the injuries and deaths caused by their products.

I don't think gun manufacturers are tax exempt. They are exempt from being sued so they can't be held accountable for the injuries and deaths caused by their products.

[{"content": "POLITICS\n\nDoes Inhaling Gunpowder Damage Your Brain?\n\nHow else to explain giving grenades as gifts or selling child-sized AR-15s\n\nI've decided that inhaling too much gunpowder damages your brain. Ya know, like sniffing glue. How else to explain people who think that running a combination gun range and wedding venue is a good idea?\n\nGuns and alcohol. What could possibly go wrong?\n\nOr how about the brand-new Republican Representative from Florida, Cory Mills, who thought it was a good idea to send grenades to his fellow Republican Congressmen and invite them to \"come together?\"\n\nBonding over explosives. Only in America.\n\nFirst of all, I will admit that the grenades were inert, so my apologies to anyone suffering PTSD resulting from the violence of Jan. 6.\n\nRest assured that no congressmen were hurt in the giving of this \"gift.\"\n\nBack to gunpowder damaging your brain.\n\nApparently, it is a tradition for new Republican members of the House to gift items from their home states to their fellow Republican legislators.\n\nFlorida. Hmmm ... what would you have gifted your fellow party members? Citrus fruit? Disney tee shirts? Key lime pies?\n\nWho in their right mind would think that grenades are the perfect gift from Florida?\n\nAccording to the letter accompanying the grenades, they were manufactured in Florida (who knew?) and were developed during the Vietnam war.\n\nOh, so he is giving them reminders of a war that we lost?\n\nThese grenades are not meant to be thrown by hand like in Hollywood movies. They are made to be launched by the MK 19 grenade launcher.\n\nSo he gave them the ammo without the gun? Is that anything like giving people mags from ARs but not the ARs?\n\nAnd about that \"coming together,\" Cory, sweetheart, grenades blow things apart. They don't bring them together. That's the purpose of grenades.\n\nThis guy is supposed to be an Army vet. You would think that he would know shit like that.\n\nObviously, he inhaled way too much gunpowder during his army days.\n\nThink being gifted a grenade is horrifying?\n\nHow about child-sized AR-15s? Yup, you too can now buy your son or daughter their very own child-sized battlefield weapon. Ya know, to use until they grow into the adult-sized ones.\n\nWell, much like the inert grenades, these guns are actually .22s but they look exactly like a scaled-down AR-15.\n\nThe manufacturer, WEE 1 Tactical, advertises the gun, called the JR-15 (get it?) as \"an ideal weapon to 'teach a younger enthusiast.'\"\n\nI call it an ideal way to get your child killed.\n\nMy biggest worry is trigger-happy police officers. Whenever they see a \"suspect\" with anything that even vaguely resembles a gun, they shoot first and ask questions later.\n\nChildren, holding toy guns, have been killed by the police. Police officers don't bother asking the child if the weapon they are holding is a toy gun or a real gun. They just (say it with me) shoot first and ask questions later.\n\nNow imagine the police being notified by a busybody neighbor that little Johnnie is running around his backyard and firing an AR-15. Do you honestly think that the responding officers are going to stop and check to see if Johnny is holding a JR-15 or an AR-15?\n\nNope, they will just fire every round they have to protect themselves from a perceived battlefield weapon.\n\nWhat kind of a parent buys their child something that will paint a target on their backs (and fronts)?\n\nFortunately, seven senators, including the normally milquetoast Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) are urging the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate \"the marketing of highly lethal firearms, including assault-style rifles, to impressionable young people.\"\n\nWee 1's response?\n\n\"It's a misnomer that this product is being targeted and advertised to children. Children can't buy it.\"\n\nReally?\n\nChildren can't buy the toys advertised on TV either and yet toy manufacturers spend millions marketing toys to children, not their parents. You never see any commercials for Barbies during Sunday Night Football, only during PAW Patrol.\n\nThe only way that I can explain why anyone would think that manufacturing child-size weapons of war and any parent who would actually buy a child-size weapon of war, is that they have all inhaled way too much gunpowder.\n\nYa know, every time I think that this whole \"everybody needs an arsenal to protect themselves\" thing can't possibly get any worse, it does.\n\nAnd why is it that no one in the heavily armed parts of the country can see how insane this all is?\n\nMust be the gunpowder.

Ya know, to use until they grow into the adult-sized ones.\n\nWell, much like the inert grenades, these guns are actually .22s but they look exactly like a scaled-down AR-15.\n\nThe manufacturer, WEE 1 Tactical, advertises the gun, called the JR-15 (get it?) as \"an ideal weapon to 'teach a younger enthusiast.'\"\n\nI call it an ideal way to get your child killed.\n\nMy biggest worry is trigger-happy police officers. Whenever they see a \"suspect\" with anything that even vaguely resembles a gun, they shoot first and ask questions later.\n\nChildren, holding toy guns, have been killed by the police. Police officers don't bother asking the child if the weapon they are holding is a toy gun or a real gun. They just (say it with me) shoot first and ask questions later.\n\nNow imagine the police being notified by a busybody neighbor that little Johnnie is running around his backyard and firing an AR-15. Do you honestly think that the responding officers are going to stop and check to see if Johnny is holding a JR-15 or an AR-15?\n\nNope, they will just fire every round they have to protect themselves from a perceived battlefield weapon.\n\nWhat kind of a parent buys their child something that will paint a target on their backs (and fronts)?\n\nFortunately, seven senators, including the normally milquetoast Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) are urging the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate \"the marketing of highly lethal firearms, including assault-style rifles, to impressionable young people.\"\n\nWee 1's response?\n\n\"It's a misnomer that this product is being targeted and advertised to children. Children can't buy it.\"\n\nReally?\n\nChildren can't buy the toys advertised on TV either and yet toy manufacturers spend millions marketing toys to children, not their parents. You never see any commercials for Barbies during Sunday Night Football, only during PAW Patrol.\n\nThe only way that I can explain why anyone would think that manufacturing child-size weapons of war and any parent who would actually buy a child-size weapon of war, is that they have all inhaled way too much gunpowder.\n\nYa know, every time I think that this whole \"everybody needs an arsenal to protect themselves\" thing can't possibly get any worse, it does.\n\nAnd why is it that no one in the heavily armed parts of the country can see how insane this all is?\n\nMust be the gunpowder.

[{"content": "The Green Movement Is Embarrassing\n\nI can't stand these eco-maniacs\n\nDo I care about the planet?\n\nYes.\n\nDo I think we need to use more green energy?\n\nYes.\n\nDo I support green activists?\n\nAbsolutely not, and this is why.\n\nProtestors Versus The Public\n\nAs a citizen of the UK, I've seen plenty of eco-activism over the last few years.\n\nThe antics of Extinction Rebellion, Insulate Britain, and Just Stop Oil have been headline news on numerous occasions. And whenever I hear another story centered around these organizations, I become increasingly infuriated.\n\nThe protestors are their own worst enemies, and the people of Britain are sick and tired of them. In a video from October 2021, you can see a woman berating a pair of protesters who are preventing her from driving her son to school. Other videos show members of the public grabbing protestors across the road, enraged by their self-centered behavior.\n\nAs recently as October 2022, Just Stop Oil protestors prevented vehicles - including the emergency services - from getting to their destination, and many of the drivers who encountered the blockade were furious.\n\nIn the wake of the protests, members of these organizations appeared on television and radio shows. Liam Horton from Insulate Britain is possibly the worst of the lot, demonstrating a remarkable knack for not answering questions. (He should seriously consider becoming a full-time politician.)\n\nWe can only hope these activists will grow up a bit, come to their senses, and stop being a public nuisance.\n\nBut let's be honest. They probably won't.\n\nBlatant Hypocrisy\n\nGreen activism might be the most hypocritical political movement of modern times.\n\nThe aforementioned Liam Horton from Insulate Britain is a good example. In a laughably-stupid interview with TalkRadio, he admitted to not having insulated his own home (despite demanding that other people do so) and even went on to say he didn't really care about insulation.\n\nBut the inconsistencies of certain spokesmen are outweighed by the hypocrisy of celebrities and politicians.\n\nLet's start with the latter.\n\nBack in November 2021, the city of Glasgow hosted COP26, the twenty-sixth edition of the United Nations Climate Change Conference.\n\nLeaders from all over the world flew into Scotland in their private jets, guzzling an estimated 13,000 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere. President Biden then decided to add more to his carbon footprint by arriving at the conference with an entourage of more than twenty vehicles.\n\nThe irony of world leaders talking about climate change after pumping so much CO2 into the air is almost laughable.\n\nAnd it's a similar story with celebrities. Leonardo DiCaprio - despite his impressive acting chops - is one of the worst offenders. As you probably know, Leo likes to talk a good game when it comes to climate change. He even addressed the issue in his 2016 Oscar speech, describing climate change as \"the most urgent threat facing our entire species.\"\n\nBut in the very same year, he flew 8,000 miles from Cannes to New York in a private jet to accept an environmental award.\n\nIf you want to be taken seriously, you need to practice what you preach and stop being so hypocritical.\n\nIs There Any Hope?\n\nComedian Konstantin Kisin recently went viral after he gave a speech to the Oxford Union. In this speech, he spoke about climate change and pinpointed the heart of the issue:\n\n\"There is only one thing we can do in this country to stop climate change, and that is to make scientific and technological breakthroughs that will create the clean energy - that is not only clean - but also cheap.\"\n\nComplaining about the world isn't going to fix it. Instead, we need to give more kudos and financial support to those who are trying to create cheap and efficient green energy for future generations.\n\nIf you think whingers with signs are making a positive contribution to the climate crisis, I suggest you reevaluate your position.", "role": "941fe9d7cff1", "metadata": "{\"counts\": {\"id\": \"b1acea7b3ea9\", \"title\": \"The Green Movement Is Embarrassing\", \"subtitle\": \"I can\\u2019t stand these eco-maniacs\", \"author\": \"941fe9d7cff1\", \"publication_id\": \"eca1ba5ae1ca\", \"published_at\": \"2023-01-31 23:14:37\", \"last_modified_at\": \"2023-01-31 23:14:37\", \"boosted_at\": \"\", \"tags\": [\"politics\", \"climate-change\", \"protest\", \"green-energy\", \"hypocrisy\"], \"topics\": [\"climate-change\"], \"claps\": 166, \"voters\": 9, \"reads\": 53, \"views\": 192, \"word_count\": 662, \"responses_count\": 3, \"reading_time\": 2.69811320754717, \"url\": \"https://medium.com/illumination/the-green-movement-is-embarrassing-b1acea7b3ea9\", \"unique_slug\": \"the-green-movement-is-embarrassing-b1acea7b3ea9\", \"image_url\": \"https://miro.medium.com/0*epIhRgic_15CRV6-\", \"lang\": \"en\", \"is_series\": false, \"is_locked\": false, \"is_shortform\": false, \"top_highlight\": \"\"}, \"assets\": {\"other_embeds\": {}, \"images\": [\"https://miro.medium.com/0*epIhRgic_15CRV6-\"], \"anchors\": [{\"href\": \"https://unsplash.com/fr/@li_anlim?utm_source=medium&utm_medium=referral\", \"text\": \"Li-An Lim\"}, {\"href\": \"https://unsplash.com?utm_source=medium&utm_medium=referral\", \"text\": \"Unsplash\"}, {\"href\": \"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqN6tOTVjeE&ab_channel=EveningStandard\", \"text\": \"In a video from October 2021\"}, {\"href\": \"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVBfJBVYK7k&ab_channel=TheTelegraph\", \"text\": \"Other videos show\"}, {\"href\": \"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaZ9aSxcgnw&ab_channel=TheSun\", \"text\": \"Just Stop Oil protestors\"}, {\"href\": \"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ae6z_hYb_5Y&ab_channel=JeremyVineon5-OfficialChannel\", \"text\": \"Liam Horton from Insulate Britain\"}, {\"href\": \"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7lVez98FTw&ab_channel=TheTelegraph\", \"text\": \"laughably-stupid interview with TalkRadio\"}, {\"href\": \"https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/private-jets-flying-cop26-blast-25338840\", \"text\": \" estimated 13,000 tonnes\"}, {\"href\": \"https://www.independent.co.uk/tv/cop26/joe-biden-cop26-climate-summit-v81741e7c\", \"text\": \" an entourage of more than twenty vehicles\"}, {\"href\": \"https://youtu.be/xpyrefzvTpI?t=206\", \"text\": \"2016 Oscar speech\"}, {\"href\": \"https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/leonardo-dicaprio-flies-8-000-miles-in-private-jet-to-accept-green-award-a7042326.html\", \"text\": \"he flew 8,000 miles\"}, {\"href\": \"https://youtu.be/zJdqJu-6ZPo?t=477\", \"text\": \"the heart of the issue\"}]}, \"fans\": {\"id\": \"b1acea7b3ea9\", \"voters\": [\"d318b6cf7eb1\", \"71b1331fd89e\", \"e83fd2794928\", \"b2ed81ed12a8\", \"eaf2a058fd19\", \"a831d545f3d0\"], \"count\": 6}, \"responses\": {\"id\": \"b1acea7b3ea9\", \"responses\": [\"13d0b1e70f4d\", \"73798da24e2c\", \"4270d2f59fb0\"], \"count\": 3}, \"post_metrics\": {\"sentiment_distribution\": {\"neutral\": 1.0}, \"stance_distribution\": {\"neutral\": 1.0}, \"emotion_distribution\": {\"neutral\": 1.0}, \"content_type_distribution\": {\"reaction\": 1.0}, \"humor_distribution\": {\"Not Humorous\": 1.0}, \"hostility_distribution\": {\"No Hostility\": 1.0}}}"}]

Completely agree with your sentiment here. Nothing will change until we have the technology to remove our reliance from fossil fuel. But that will take massive government support which won't happen while corruption is so prevalent in most governments.

[{"content": "The Green Movement Is Embarrassing\n\nI can't stand these eco-maniacs\n\nDo I care about the planet?\n\nYes.\n\nDo I think we need to use more green energy?\n\nYes.\n\nDo I support green activists?\n\nAbsolutely not, and this is why.\n\nProtestors Versus The Public\n\nAs a citizen of the UK, I've seen plenty of eco-activism over the last few years.\n\nThe antics of Extinction Rebellion, Insulate Britain, and Just Stop Oil have been headline news on numerous occasions. And whenever I hear another story centered around these organizations, I become increasingly infuriated.\n\nThe protestors are their own worst enemies, and the people of Britain are sick and tired of them. In a video from October 2021, you can see a woman berating a pair of protesters who are preventing her from driving her son to school. Other videos show members of the public grabbing protestors across the road, enraged by their self-centered behavior.\n\nAs recently as October 2022, Just Stop Oil protestors prevented vehicles - including the emergency services - from getting to their destination, and many of the drivers who encountered the blockade were furious.\n\nIn the wake of the protests, members of these organizations appeared on television and radio shows. Liam Horton from Insulate Britain is possibly the worst of the lot, demonstrating a remarkable knack for not answering questions. (He should seriously consider becoming a full-time politician.)\n\nWe can only hope these activists will grow up a bit, come to their senses, and stop being a public nuisance.\n\nBut let's be honest. They probably won't.\n\nBlatant Hypocrisy\n\nGreen activism might be the most hypocritical political movement of modern times.\n\nThe aforementioned Liam Horton from Insulate Britain is a good example. In a laughably-stupid interview with TalkRadio, he admitted to not having insulated his own home (despite demanding that other people do so) and even went on to say he didn't really care about insulation.\n\nBut the inconsistencies of certain spokesmen are outweighed by the hypocrisy of celebrities and politicians.\n\nLet's start with the latter.\n\nBack in November 2021, the city of Glasgow hosted COP26, the twenty-sixth edition of the United Nations Climate Change Conference.\n\nLeaders from all over the world flew into Scotland in their private jets, guzzling an estimated 13,000 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere. President Biden then decided to add more to his carbon footprint by arriving at the conference with an entourage of more than twenty vehicles.\n\nThe irony of world leaders talking about climate change after pumping so much CO2 into the air is almost laughable.\n\nAnd it's a similar story with celebrities. Leonardo DiCaprio - despite his impressive acting chops - is one of the worst offenders. As you probably know, Leo likes to talk a good game when it comes to climate change. He even addressed the issue in his 2016 Oscar speech, describing climate change as \"the most urgent threat facing our entire species.\"\n\nBut in the very same year, he flew 8,000 miles from Cannes to New York in a private jet to accept an environmental award.\n\nIf you want to be taken seriously, you need to practice what you preach and stop being so hypocritical.\n\nIs There Any Hope?\n\nComedian Konstantin Kisin recently went viral after he gave a speech to the Oxford Union. In this speech, he spoke about climate change and pinpointed the heart of the issue:\n\n\"There is only one thing we can do in this country to stop climate change, and that is to make scientific and technological breakthroughs that will create the clean energy - that is not only clean - but also cheap.\"\n\nComplaining about the world isn't going to fix it. Instead, we need to give more kudos and financial support to those who are trying to create cheap and efficient green energy for future generations.\n\nIf you think whingers with signs are making a positive contribution to the climate crisis, I suggest you reevaluate your position.", "role": "941fe9d7cff1", "metadata": "{\"counts\": {\"id\": \"b1acea7b3ea9\", \"title\": \"The Green Movement Is Embarrassing\", \"subtitle\": \"I can\\u2019t stand these eco-maniacs\", \"author\": \"941fe9d7cff1\", \"publication_id\": \"eca1ba5ae1ca\", \"published_at\": \"2023-01-31 23:14:37\", \"last_modified_at\": \"2023-01-31 23:14:37\", \"boosted_at\": \"\", \"tags\": [\"politics\", \"climate-change\", \"protest\", \"green-energy\", \"hypocrisy\"], \"topics\": [\"climate-change\"], \"claps\": 166, \"voters\": 9, \"reads\": 53, \"views\": 192, \"word_count\": 662, \"responses_count\": 3, \"reading_time\": 2.69811320754717, \"url\": \"https://medium.com/illumination/the-green-movement-is-embarrassing-b1acea7b3ea9\", \"unique_slug\": \"the-green-movement-is-embarrassing-b1acea7b3ea9\", \"image_url\": \"https://miro.medium.com/0*epIhRgic_15CRV6-\", \"lang\": \"en\", \"is_series\": false, \"is_locked\": false, \"is_shortform\": false, \"top_highlight\": \"\"}, \"assets\": {\"other_embeds\": {}, \"images\": [\"https://miro.medium.com/0*epIhRgic_15CRV6-\"], \"anchors\": [{\"href\": \"https://unsplash.com/fr/@li_anlim?utm_source=medium&utm_medium=referral\", \"text\": \"Li-An Lim\"}, {\"href\": \"https://unsplash.com?utm_source=medium&utm_medium=referral\", \"text\": \"Unsplash\"}, {\"href\": \"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqN6tOTVjeE&ab_channel=EveningStandard\", \"text\": \"In a video from October 2021\"}, {\"href\": \"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVBfJBVYK7k&ab_channel=TheTelegraph\", \"text\": \"Other videos show\"}, {\"href\": \"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaZ9aSxcgnw&ab_channel=TheSun\", \"text\": \"Just Stop Oil protestors\"}, {\"href\": \"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ae6z_hYb_5Y&ab_channel=JeremyVineon5-OfficialChannel\", \"text\": \"Liam Horton from Insulate Britain\"}, {\"href\": \"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7lVez98FTw&ab_channel=TheTelegraph\", \"text\": \"laughably-stupid interview with TalkRadio\"}, {\"href\": \"https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/private-jets-flying-cop26-blast-25338840\", \"text\": \" estimated 13,000 tonnes\"}, {\"href\": \"https://www.independent.co.uk/tv/cop26/joe-biden-cop26-climate-summit-v81741e7c\", \"text\": \" an entourage of more than twenty vehicles\"}, {\"href\": \"https://youtu.be/xpyrefzvTpI?t=206\", \"text\": \"2016 Oscar speech\"}, {\"href\": \"https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/leonardo-dicaprio-flies-8-000-miles-in-private-jet-to-accept-green-award-a7042326.html\", \"text\": \"he flew 8,000 miles\"}, {\"href\": \"https://youtu.be/zJdqJu-6ZPo?t=477\", \"text\": \"the heart of the issue\"}]}, \"fans\": {\"id\": \"b1acea7b3ea9\", \"voters\": [\"d318b6cf7eb1\", \"71b1331fd89e\", \"e83fd2794928\", \"b2ed81ed12a8\", \"eaf2a058fd19\", \"a831d545f3d0\"], \"count\": 6}, \"responses\": {\"id\": \"b1acea7b3ea9\", \"responses\": [\"13d0b1e70f4d\", \"73798da24e2c\", \"4270d2f59fb0\"], \"count\": 3}, \"post_metrics\": {\"sentiment_distribution\": {\"neutral\": 1.0}, \"stance_distribution\": {\"neutral\": 1.0}, \"emotion_distribution\": {\"neutral\": 1.0}, \"content_type_distribution\": {\"reaction\": 1.0}, \"humor_distribution\": {\"Not Humorous\": 1.0}, \"hostility_distribution\": {\"No Hostility\": 1.0}}}"}]
