There’s clearly a lean to the left side of things in Lemmy instances, with many people attacking people at the right.

In some cases regarding the climate crisis, there’s people blaming it on capitalism while hinting that communism/socialism are the solution to the climate crisis, because somehow having the state controlling the entire economy will lead to stop CO2 emissions.

A bit from the article:

The best way to protect the environment is to get rich. That way, there is enough money not only to meet the needs of ordinary people, but also to pay for cleaner power plants and better water-treatment facilities. Since capitalism is the best way to create wealth, humanity should stick with it.

Not the first time I’ve heard about this concept, and the more i look into the world the more I agree with it. Being green is kind of a luxury that not many people can afford, and the poorer people are the less they can afford green technology.

    You’re not going to convince anyone of anything this way. You either don’t have a handle on the topic to make your point or don’t want to admit you’re wrong. If you want to prove someone got something wrong in math, you don’t just link to a book.

    If you don’t care to participate in discussions aside from trying to show you know more than someone else, why interrupt?

    Either explain it or get out of the way.
