The development of a right-wing green movement.

So much this.

The conservatives have let themselves get screwed over on environmental politics, and it's is completely unnecessary. If conservatives really want to grab onto a current social issue and use it to pull in moderates, the environmental arena is one of their best shots.

The problem is, the Dems will styme any environmental plan the GOP puts up, simply so they don't get a 'win' on that issue.

Another way for the GOP to win is to put forth a federal level pot legalization bill, before the Dems do, a month or so before the election. Watch the Dem establishment shit a brick when the GOP goes with that as a platform.

I’m guessing you’ll be supporting guys using trash as fuel or a sort of power plant

And using biological waste from sewers in large quantities as a sort of fertilizer

Unfortunately, it’s more realistic than the zero emission dream

No, use sewer waste as secondary coolant in nuclear reactors, like the one outside Pheonix, AZ does.

Edit: You can use the dry solid waste to make fertilizer as well.

In statue-removing news, that legendary pillar of morality De Beers has joined up with the protests, campaigning for the removal of a statue of Cecil Rhodes in the UK.

Symbols matter, and we will not achieve equality, social justice and healing unless those bearing symbols of inequality, injustice and pain take them down.

Makes sense him encouraging the British to take parts of Africa led to the rise in more diamond mines, which broke their monopoly. the merchants of blood diamonds probably don’t like the competition.

That's interesting to know, honestly waste shouldn't be waste, all those landfills can be used for other things and all that trash could be used as fuel or building material or cheaper metals and such

That said, I think the biggest problem for a Right-Wing Green Movement would be one simple thing

The fact that people are profiting off being helpful towards the environment

The Dems would probably be really idealistic and say it's the government's job to be helpful to the government. People helping mostly because it's surprisingly beneficial is NOT a sign of goodness, it's a sign of pragmatism
 
I think we should defund the entire US Government at this point. Defund all the agencies and all police. They only seem to enforce the law against Republican whites or entrap them. They don't do anything about the mega corps either. You are not allowed to defend yourself or your family. If you defend yourself from rioters you alone will be arrested. If we get rid of the police and most federal agencies we could at least defend ourselves. Most republicans would rather denounce you if you do defend yourself than do anything that would require work to protect your rights. As such the constitution is dead and has been dead for years. Why worship a sheet of paper that gives us nothing?

What reason is there to even pay taxes at this point? It's extortion. You get nothing for it. No representation. No service. No protection. Just spit in the face and stabbed in the back by every single sector of the government.

I would not want to go back to the Bad Old Days that was mob Justice in the Old West. And you are being very Hyperbolic. The average person in this country is not oppressed and does not feel oppressed. Hit the road and travel the country and talk to regular people who work and don't spend time on the internet. You will see what I mean.
 
I'm just going to say that I completely disagree with the idea of shredding your base and core beliefs in the interest of getting more power by becoming more progressive.

The problem with Republicans isn't that they were too conservative, it's that during Bush Jr and Obama's terms they didn't defend conservatism in any way and were only resisting leftism. Which sounds good on paper but means you never advance your own agenda just slow, not stop, theirs.

All we need is for leaders to actually advocate for conservative principles and we can push them back.

We are seeing it right now with trump. He is actually pushing back and they are doing everything they can to destroy him because they want weak neo conservatives like McCain and Romney.

And I definitely don't want what's happening with the democrats to happen to Republicans. They shredded their base to embrace far leftism and they are ripping themselves apart. If they keep it up much longer they will split their own party and lose their ability to have any real power except as opposition.

For those that are squeamish and didn't watch it, the description is inaccurate. A trio of young men who appear to be black (it's night, they may be otherwise) take a high grade firecracker like you would see used by cities for the 4th of July and throw it onto the sleeping for of a homeless man, it appears to blow him up. Maybe they found his burned body later, but I doubt it was in one piece.
The film is taken by the perpetrators and they appear to be enjoying themselves.

Yeah... I think that speaks for itself.

The explosive landed next to his legs, at the very least he has lost his legs, as well as getting severe burns, but I don’t think he is alive anymore. This is clearly terrorism, no other name for it.
 
And if Trump does anything to stop this, he will be called a Tyrant! He will be called a Fascist Dictator.

Edit before going back to work: With Cops basically being targeted for doing their job, the Major Dem cities are going to hell, and are swaying thier voters furter and further right

I know I’m being a doomer again, but I think this could lead to people driving themselves further into the Far Left, if only to appease accusers

The statue is right outside the White House, the police are always on standby there, and the secret service is always prepared, meaning they won’t be allowed to destroy it.

I’m honestly surprised they actually stopped it

Still, gotta be careful, it might have received the kinds of damages that’d make it fall either way
