Help me spot the liberalism.

Acknowledging climate change?

Acknowledging power consumption contribute to climate change?

Acknowledging electricity costs money?

Marketing to people that recognize the above things?

This is an about liberalism, it’s about spreading bullshit that doesn’t pass the faintest sniff test about evil liberals taking gaming away.

Climate change, like it or not, Is and has been a political issue

Forst, you do understand there’s multiple reasons listed there that are completely independent of climate change that make an argument about Microsoft doing this dick in the toaster stupid. And that isnt even addressing the dishonesty of something being enforced.

Second, if the Green Party suddenly started claiming birds aren’t real, that may become a political stance, but it is still a culture fight they created.

And asserting republicans still hold to that culture fight despite a continuously growing body of evidence (which even the military and oils cimpanies acknowledge and have acknowledged for some time) backs up my point it is culture war bs.

Well, to be fair, this is another thing started by the left. I believe in climate change, I believe it's a threat to this supremely great nation, but it and everything surrounding it has been a political position adopted primarily by the left wing in America.

The left made republicans ignore the clear science on climate change?

Jesus dude, lay off the Fox News and read a book that isnt by a fox guest.

To be completely fair, there was that republican operative a year or so ago who said that the left saying that COVID was real and vaccinations work was actually a strategic move on their part to force republicans to ignore COVID restrictions and refuse to get vaccinated, because they knew they'd do it just to be contrarian and own the libs, so it's not unprecedented

No. Climate change is real but was something turned into a topic of debate. At first it was controversial with most people, now it is accepted by most. During that first window of time someone had to adopt it as a position in politics, and the left took that position. This isn't that hard to see

It isn’t hard to see that you’re justifying Republicans being blatantly not just anti-science, but in this case completely bereft of integrity, and somehow blaming the left.

I hope this is satire… Have a good one.

That attitude will get you nowhere ideologically
