My main attention, here, is on the 'control' issues, like:
1.). You People don't know enough to make decision.
2.). We make the ban, you WILL comply.
(or else).
3). You are just a stupid TV viewer, we know better.
You saw some AD that brainwashed you, to think
that you want 8k.
4). Now, let's talk about that Authoritarian person
over there..., Yeah that's him.
My point being; the energy use debate is so rife with hypocrisy and contradictions, that a person hesitates, to trust / believe. Watch the discussion around John Kerry and the private jet thing. John Kerry, attending climate change conference IN HIS PRIVATE JET!
Oh yeah, and now there is a whole system just poised for that kind of 'statement'... A whole array of 'Fact Checking', to dismiss comments like the John Kerry thing. In this context, makes it hard to trust the demands to go authoritarian, on 8k, for example...
And maybe bringing up John Kerry's PRIVATE JET is not fair, but I see hipocracy / arrogance, and I don't trust the whole climate warrior thing.
Sad thing is, we DO need to respond, just maybe take the exploitation / power abuses as the issue gets hijacked, by various politically motivated camps.
Sorry, got to go, I see a 'Fact Checker's in my rear view mirror...(lol)
