In addition to “climate change” and “green,” EERE forbid officials from using “emissions” to avoid the implication that they are a negative. Climate change is caused by rising greenhouse gas emissions, which is driven primarily by burning oil, coal and natural gas for energy.
Other terms officials must ditch include “energy transition,” “sustainability/sustainable,” “‘clean’ or ‘dirty’ energy,” “Carbon/CO2 ‘Footprint’” and “Tax breaks/tax credits/subsidies.”

Don’t you use the word emission quite a bit in nuclear?
And aren’t ground wires green?
Now they’re just immigrant protons.
Ha ha ha, nice try.
Proof of idiocy.
1984 Much???
Ah yes Free Speech
Free speech (conservative newspeak): Calling black people the N-word and not receiving any social backlash.
Can’t wait until enough people are upset that the guillotines come out.
There are very few things more terrifying than a civil war. Americans jumping straight to wishing for one, ignoring millions of less murdery ways to fix their country never stops creeping me out. You guys are deeply fucked in more ways then one.
I’d love to legislatively fix all this.
But fascists aren’t known for allowing fair elections.
So I think that ship sailed in November 2024 while a bunch of fucking losers were protest voting or not voting at all.
America was warned. America didn’t listen.
Right?! The number of people who stayed home because “Kamila doesn’t support Palestine enough.” was insane. Leave it to us on the left to completely ignore existential problems if we’re given the opportunity to prove to another leftist that they’re not left enough, and only the most extreme left-wing opinions are legitimate.
To clarify: Not American
Soo, how exactly are you planning to fix the shitshow that the states are in rn? A leader heavily leaning to totalitarianism, most of executive power in the hands of his cronies, and you get shit like national guard unlawfully stationed in major cities, while censoring many of new-age issues and executive orders left and right that legalize bribery a remove power in order for him to stay in power.
And don’t fucking say to “just vote”. Apparently it didn’t work so much last time.
Don’t even get me started on trying to educate the people. 8 hours work, 1 hour commute, 8 hours sleep, taking care of kids, house, and you are left with like 4. What are you gonna do? Argue with paid trolls online and absolutely waste energy? Slip into people’s DMs to talk about politics? Make videos that probably 10 people will see, at most?

4 hours? You and the person above are overestimating how much free time working parents have each day. I’m lucky to get 30 minutes, and I only get that because I’m hiding in the bathroom.

Yeah, shit deal. Do you think it will be better if there will be a fucking war? Not “Good guys killed all the bad guys and there is a socialist utopia going on” war, those don’t exist, more like “there is a tank where my living room used to be and all my family died in the last shootout” kind of war.
I lost my country long ago, we had our authoritarian resurgence a decade and a half ago, everyone was too apathetic to do anything, and those who tried got mocked by the likes of you, with their “ah, what are you gonna do, waste time arguing with people?”. America is going the same route very quickly to the same tune.
If you want a broad answer to “what should I do”, well, you aren’t american, so nothing, focus on your country. Americans should do anything. It usually starts with building the community and identifying clear local goals, because you’re correct that one person can do shit, a group of people with a political position however can do something.
are you gonna start us off?
I already killed the billionaire CEO of a health insurance company.
The authorities got the wrong guy so I’m going to keep going.
There’s no point in organizing because that just makes us easier to stop before we begin. Also, there’s a 0% chance we can trust the people in such an organization because there will always be scumbags and morons eager to support their oppressors.
Posting this is a great way to get your house searched by the authorities.
Sounds like something that would happen in a fascist regime.

It doesn’t get any more 1984 than the government banning words they think are icky.
Other terms officials must ditch include “energy transition,” “sustainability/sustainable,” “‘clean’ or ‘dirty’ energy,” “Carbon/CO2 ‘Footprint’” and “Tax breaks/tax credits/subsidies.”
Can’t wait for press conferences from these officials to be stripped down to Kevin’s level.
Because the old “$2.99 looks more like 2 dollars than 3 dollars” works on the masses they discovered that through social fuckery and behaviourism they are able to make us think and do almost anything. Fuck this bullshit. Let’s find the warm sun again and start building a future and leave all of this power crap behind.
LoL, we’re not gonna have anything but the “warm” sun in the near future.
The Trump regime is a terrorist organization and should be treated as such.
The only way they could be more of a threat to us is if they were literally holding guns to our heads. And we may not be far off from that.
They are America’s enemies. They are democracy’s enemies.
Depending on the skin colour, you’re already there.
Imagine being so invested in bullshit that you have to censor any and all terms that contradict it.
Really, it’s no wonder that Trump and his cronies and minions are so filled with rage - they’re in a constant state of extreme cognitive dissonance.
And it makes sense in a way that they direct their rage at “woke” people and positions. From their limited, animalistic points of view, all they understand is that when they think of “woke,” they’re filled with rage. They aren’t conscious enough to understand that the source of the rage isn’t the positions or the people, but the cognitive dissonance they experience when they cling to their opposition to simple and obvious truths.
It has to be a miserable way to live, and if they weren’t an existential threat to me, my family and friends, and society as a whole, I’d feel sorry for them.
his cronies and minions are so filled with rage - they’re in a constant state of extreme cognitive dissonance.
And that will be their own undoing. Fascists are fully driven by emotions. They are anti-liberal and anti-intellect after all.
Wouldn’t it be easier to just ban all reports, period? Problem solved.
Enemies of humankind
I do genuinely wonder if America can survive this perfect storm of idiotic fascism.
They haven’t had real dialog about real issues in 10 years. Time flies doesn’t it. It was dead the moment they entered the Trump era. This idiotic fascism era.
I don’t see how they’re bringing 1/3rd to 2/3rds the population back to reality. It was over when that half the country reneged on the social contract.
It’s pretty grim here.
The other day I watched Contagion, and it was so alien and comforting to see governmental organizations make a consistently rational response to a crisis, rather than they themselves manufacture the crisis.
We’ll survive. It’ll just be a shithole.
North Korea exists. It’s a shithole.
Sudan exists. It’s a shithole.
Iran exists. It’s a shithole.
We’re just gonna be another shithole.
Gonna make it illegal to look up next?
