But the monumental fossil fuel industry subsidisation system is not a scam, right?
Yeah, these people can't understand that, though. It's just way beyond their computing power.
My uncle once tried talking about the "Solar Scam" and he kept saying "follow the money" and I said "yeah, and every single time it ends up back in the pocket of the billionaires who own the fossil fuel industry" and he just sat there with a blank look on his face like I overloaded his circuits.
😆 Unfortunately a lot of people have been programmed / brainwashed and they repeat catchphrases as if these were actual explanations.
The irony is delicious.
Would you like to explain?
You’ve been brainwashed and are repeating catchphrases and propaganda while claiming others are.
So what are my catchphrases?
That's not a catchphrase. It's an observation.
Nope, it's a catchphrase.
Ok, if that makes you happy.
