had to look this idiot up and to the surprise of nobody... he's a right wing fossil fuel shill.

"...And now they are going after agriculture and of course, denim, which is cotton. Cotton also is deeply rooted in Jim Crow and racism, so that’s another reason to get rid of cotton. But also they want to get rid of cotton in denim because everything causes climate change until they just eliminate people writ large. And then there’ll be no more climate change when we’re all dead, which we may be from the eclipse in a couple of hours. Who knows? When we’re all dead, there’ll be no more climate worries.”

this is the sewerage that seems to flow from his brain.

Yeah, the "PTF" at the end of his username stands for "Power The Future", the name of his special interest group, which is doublespeak for "do everything possible to avoid acknowledging the climate crisis and the role fossil fuels have played in getting us here."

if you can actually stand the insane levels of smarm and bullshit

Fox Across America w/ Jimmy Failla - April 8

seek to 1:42:17 for the disgorgement of this priceless nugget. if you skip around his segment you will also find the usual harrasment of Greta Thunberg and all things sane - but I would not wish to inflict listening to this dreck on anyone.

The people saying "we're destroying our planet and need to stop" want to see all humans go extinct but the people saying "nah oil belongs in the ocean" have our best interest in mind? Well I fully believe him.

See this is a little bit of a mischaracterization - the Earth will likely recover from climate change. The human race are the sensitive species here.

We need to rethink our rhetoric to make it clear slowing climate change is for the benefit of humans, not "the earth"

You're right I forget people don't realize destroying the planet is like burning your own house down but your house will be fine and you'll die.

Wackadoodle free association.

when we’re all dead, which we may be from the eclipse in a couple of hours

Holy shit, he channeled The Onion: Deadly Super Rainbow Tears Through West Coast.

That should be in an encyclopedia as an example of a strawman argument.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 months ago

I guess the sun coming up tomorrow isn't guaranteed for him since he's all-in on fossil fuels that will destroy the planet anyway.

[–] roguetrick@kbin.social 2 points 7 months ago

I doubt anyone's paying him to write that sort of nonsense.

also hot take: denim is just a shit product.

It's the modern era, im sure we can produce MUCH more resilient fabrics and cloth items than denim.
