what he’s saying is stupid bullshit but I cannot help but respect it more than hand-wringing liberals who claim to care and then work against any attempt to confront capital
I think you can make an argument that pig-headed open climate science denial like that Trump spews is less dangerous than the more sophisticated and deceptive climate science denial that western liberals promote, where they claim to “believe the science” but all they do is to give a few handouts to the EV sector and maybe fund a few bazinga carbon capture projects in the hope that they can do green capitalism.
With the former it is easy to see that it is complete bullshit and that you have to look elsewhere for a sensible answer but the latter looks superficially sensible and convinces a lot of people who genuinely care about climate change that the adults in the room are stepping up and that a bazinga wizard will fix it.

I’m exhausted of “brutal honesty” and don’t give it any additional consideration if it’s the same result, just with brute flavor.
Under no circumstances do you “have to hand it to them”

We need to be able to criticize two things at once
best I can do is “gets put after the other major candidate in the post-revolutionary line for the gallows”
