      I wasn’t reducing anyone and I don’t think the person you were responding to was either. Some people have a harder time focusing on many things at once than others. In the same way that many many people have no internal voice in their head with which they think, people’s brains work differently. It’s just a fact. Some are more efficient at parsing large quantities of varied data than others. That is also a fact. I’m not trying to devalue those who cannot do that, but it would be immature and irresponsible to not consider that when looking for the causes of miscommunication or misunderstandings about how society actually functions just because you think it might hurt someone’s feelings if they were told that about themselves.

      To be quite honest, prioritizing climate change is the responsible and rational thing to do because if we fuck that up, literally nothing else we have done will have any meaning, whatsoever.

        I don’t understand why y’all think caring about the climate and caring about Trump, which this article is directly linking by the way, are somehow mutually exclusive. It makes no sense to me.

        I care about the climate, so I don’t want Trump in office. The election is in less than five months. What exactly are you asking me to do differently? Vote for Trump? Stop talking about him and onky talk about climate issues while completely removing him from the conversation? I don’t even understand what you want here. What do you want from this conversation?
