    I'm going to starve to death and my whole country is going to be constantly wrecked by hurricanes for what remains of history. Hundreds of millions of climate refugees will be gunned down, gassed, and left to die of a thousand new antibacterial resistant superbugs in dozens of Gaza-scale concentration camps. A billion more will starve. A nuclear war will start when the remaining imperialist countries understand that the climate catastrophe won't just stop in the Global South.

    Anyway, American automotive stock is not as high as it hypothetically could be, because BYD is producing cheap, subsidized electric cars. That's what I'm really worried about right now.

    I'm starting to get radicalized to the point where I don't believe that any problem is more important than climate change.

    ...

    I don't understand how someone who is nominally literate and politically aware could write the words "more important than climate change".

    I just don't.

    Also if I was owned by Noah, even if it was a boring own, I would shave my beard and go live in a cave for 99 days to reflect on where I'd gone wrong in life.

    Wait... wait I don't think Noah was trying to own him. I think that's a good faith question and Noah is just a complete ghoul.

      Matty is the same dumbfuck who proposed one billion Americans to own China. Like that’s ever going to happen with how heavily anti-immigrant the US is

      Matty hates electric cars because he's a fucking idiot.

      I hate electric cars because even in the best case other car infrastructure is too carbon intensive and we need mass transit instead.

      We are not the same.

    Come on lib, maybe try rguing that manifestly they have been a capitalist distraction and delayed climate solutions/limited our imagination.

    On the plus side they're heavier, shreds them tires up better (yum micro plastics).

    You got a link? Can't really tell what he's trying to say here without context. Is it that the US should just give up because China is owning them so hard on electric cars? Is it that the US is economically dependent on oil and we should continue to use ICE cars regardless of if it kills everyone?

        Thanks! So yeah, it's literally just "China is doing good so we must ban electric cars", death to Matty Glesias.

          if you dig a little deeper it's also in large part the fact that matty hates Elon for aligning with republicans: https://cdn.xcancel.com/pic/orig/media%2FGabbWXZXkAA2Uvr.png
