Fabricating On the Far Right

AMONG THE MANY FABRICATIONS of the far right is something they call the "socialist-climate cult", the word "cult" evidently only to evoke negative connotations. By inference, those who acknowledge the fact of climate, meaning human made climate change, automatically espouse socialism, un- proven assertion. High praise and academic accolades the intrepid scholar-teacher who embarks on a danger laden mission of explain to the conservative minions, in churches, klan gatherings, Republican committee meetings, that no, it is not necessary to join a cult or be a socialist to accept reality. Climate change and socialism are decidedly different, and merit separate categories. socialism is an economic system based on cooperation and prevalent in the United States, although few Americans seem to understand this, and more so in more civilized countries. Climate change is what happens when industrial "civilization" annually pumps thirty billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere, and leaves it there, absorbing heat. To understand basic science is to understand and accept the harsh reality of climate change, human style.The number of people who embrace socialism and acknowledge global warming, aka climate change, is enormous, numbering hundreds of millions if not billions. That's too many people to constitute a cult, which by definition are quite exclusive. The Christian faith, for instance, was once a cult, then went viral. Social-climateers are better described as "mainstream promulgators of reality and greater economic equality". People who deny what exists invariably fabricate and believe what does not. These people are dangerous, because, as Voltaire said: "People who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities". True, notwithstanding that the intelligent educated can be forced to do neither. But, alas, the conservative community is not the home of the intelligent educated, who tend to congregate on college campuses all across the fruited plain, tend towards progressive politics, and to acccept climate change, even while doing little to urge society to do something about it. People who deny climate change, evolution by natural selection,, and the desirability of economic planning resulting in everyone having enough to eat, also tend to worship an imaginary anthropomorphic entity in the sky who writes books and behaves badly, and they tend to worship the strife, volatility, and extremes of wealth distribution of constant ubiquitous economic warfare, mano vs mano, both individual and collective, called capitalism". Go figure.
