    Bild is to Germany what The Sun is to the UK, or the New York Post to the US. Sensationalism, harassment, and lies. Don’t honour that rag with your attention.

      Minor addendum: this rag has committed 25% of all major violations of the German press codex since begin of recording by the German Press Council (Deutscher Presserat).

    When I took a helicopter tour in Hawaii I didn’t feel like I was destroying the planet. I think the bigger issues are policy related to things like how we produce energy, how we distribute goods, if we package goods in reusable standardized containers, how we design our communities, roads, and cities, etc.

    The last thing I am worried about is some spoiled asshole’s big boat. Back to policy: tax the fuck out of yachts and private aircraft and spend that on things that actually matter.

    These types of posts/arguments are deliberate distraction made to discredit any premise that policy changes need to be enacted.

      Imagine someone complaining about climate change but they didn’t recycle last week or took a 10m shower this morning. The hypocrisy. /s

    Poisoning the well (or attempting to poison the well) is a type of informal fallacy where adverse information about a target is preemptively presented to an audience, with the intention of discrediting or ridiculing something that the target person is about to say. Poisoning the well can be a special case of argumentum ad hominem
