History Repeating Itself?
A reader sent me the meme here. When I wrote: “Not sure what you’re referring to here,” he responded: “Please do some research. This is one of the most critical information. The trials happened in 1947 after the horrors of WWII.”
I know what the Nuremberg Trials were, but I don’t see how history may be repeating itself in this case. The only connection I can see is that many of the Jan. 6th insurrectionists, who are one by one being sent off to prison, are contending that they were just following orders (from the then-President of the United States). As I’ve often written, I find that to be a mitigating circumstance, and therefore I believe they deserve some level of leniency, even though they are detestable human beings.
Senior Energy Analyst Robert Rapier writes: It’s hard to believe, but this guy was once highly respected. Now he has revealed himself as a total crackpot. 
This is a good example of the logical fallacy called “equivocation,” which means using the same word in two different senses. For example, “Good steaks are rare these days, so be sure not to get yours overcooked.”
As we all know, correlation doesn’t imply causation. It’s perfectly possible that our ceasing to tax the ultra-rich, which actually began in 1980 with Ronald Reagan, wasn’t the cause of the collapse of our educational system, middle class, etc.
Almost half the country lives in a fairyland in which reason and intelligence have ceased to matter.
Here are the first few questions of an online survey, written (obviously) by a right-wing group.
Let me make another point to Britt Bee, who writes: We all need to be very careful about being rich white people telling poor brown people (how to lead sustainable lives). 
Britt Bee writes: Any discussion of population is a minefield and population control itself is considered a ‘wicked problem.’ Traditionally, thwarting population growth has been associated with racism and eugenics and it will take a lot of unpacking to arrive at policies that will be trusted. We all need to be very careful about being rich white people telling poor brown people that we know best about how many poor brown people there should be. A valid argument made on the issue is when representatives from poor but populous regions point out that their per capita ecological footprint is far smaller than that of Western nations. It is our lifestyle that is unsustainable, not theirs. 
They’re despicable people, but they didn’t break the law.
