Addendum a surprising piece of prejudice here, which seeks to cast all #LiteralSchoolCollegeUniversity students as being privileged because they don't #LiteralPayingTax - despite the reality that many have part-time jobs where they do. And also, despite the misconception, UK HE students generally live off bank loans and not so-called "university grants". #OtheringElitesLiberalCulturalEducated

"I get the whole alt/clean energy pitch, and yes it's relevant. However, do y'all realize what it would take to retool industries of the world to accommodate a zero carbon footprint. The Green New Deal is just a way to steal more of our tax dollars. We don't need the Green New Deal. Industries are already investing in Alt/Clean energy; including the oil & gas industry. The last thing we need to do is create another gov't bureaucratic monster that needs to be fed more of our tax dollars. Private/Public industries always do a more effective, efficient, and cost effective job than our government. Let the FREE MARKET deal with Alternative/Clean Energy!" #MetaphorVersusCostEnvironment #PolicyDecarbonisationZeroCarbon #PoliticsBureaucracy #LiteralPayingTax #PoliticsCapitalismLaissezFaireFreeMarket / #PoliticsNeoliberalism

Addendum #ReasoningArgumentRejoinder to #CauseActivismClimate perspectives (as a rhetorical response to hypothetical scenarios). The opening claim that "I get the whole alt/clean energy pitch" is a #ReasoningArgumentBadFaith i.e. "The hallmark of a bad-faith argument is that it disguises the core point of a debate rather than addressing issues, beliefs, and values head-on. Bad faith arguments aren't 'real' positions; they're proxy positions people take for rhetorical purposes. In some cases, a bad faith position can be intentional." https://medium.com/s/story/a-field-guide-to-bad-faith-arguments-7-terrible-arguments-in-your-mentions-ee4f194afbc9

Addendum #ReasoningFallacyArgumentFromConsequences i.e. "e.g., 'Global climate change cannot be caused by human burning of fossil fuels, because if it were, switching to non-polluting energy sources would bankrupt American industry,' or 'Doctor, that's wrong! I can't have terminal cancer, because if I did that'd mean that I won't live to see my kids get married!')." https://utminers.utep.edu/omwilliamson/ENGL1311/fallacies.htm #SloganLifeWithoutOil

Context "Holding in a negative light the view of the person bearing the news or suggesting the policy change helps us dismiss what they say and continue on with life as usual. This negativity can take various forms: a lack of trust in the other; seeing the other person's solution (or understanding of the situation) as inadequate; denying the possible veracity of the other's beliefs; or simply brushing off the other person's advice." ^[blog] #IRLScholarRobertGifford (2011).
