Asheville NC and Western NC has been destroyed by hurricane Helene and flooding. People are saying the same boring tired things there and sharing the same misinformation.
This is just ordinary weather which happens all the time.
The only thing we can do is pray.
Climate change isn’t real
This is dangerous to say things like this because it makes people believe that there’s no climate change, and that is ordinary and expected when that’s not even remotely true. It’s leading people to ignorantly become complacent, not contact their government, and when disasters like hurricanes happen, they don’t evacuate because they don’t believe it’ll be serious.
I started commenting on everything telling people that climate change is causing these issues and got the most unhinged glue-sniffer responses ever like
‘this has always been like this’ or ‘liberal snowflake tears’
and the worst ones are always religious.
‘we can’t do anything to save our planet, you need to pray. Send your prayers’
God didn’t create this issue? We are ruining our planet!
Example 1. We now have to surround hospital in Tampa Florida with a literal fucking wall just for ordinary storms

@Kevin R. Sullivan:Hurricanes have nothing to do with climate change
Deranged comments like this are very dangerous and spread false misinformation
There is no difference, flat-earth was the test. It showed that with little effort duping people online is easy because our educational system does not teach critical thinking.
Critical thinking and how to cross check your sources to verify if something is true are invaluable skills.
I graduated high school in 2006 and we had to learn both of those in order write research papers. I grew up in a blue state, and went to public school. My English teacher also taught us that “anyone can get a book published, or write an article online, so always cross check your sources and make sure they aren’t making stuff up.”
They taught us those skills so we could write papers for college, but I feel like they’re even more important now just for navigating the internet.
The education system can’t and won’t ever teach “critical thinking” because the point of education is indoctrination and control.
Can’t tell if fascist who wants to religiously indoctrinate their children in isolation, or has legitimate, sane issues.
arent they refrencing the famous quote from some guy in the school admin. talking about how school is for training people to be a part of the working class.
Education is learning critical thinking. People, politics, corpos, etc. use the education system for propaganda and indoctrination. The education isn’t how people receive it. It’s important to not mix them, otherwise you’re already in the indoctrination process.
