    Edit: *looks at thread title* Uhm... let’s change this to the sun engulfing the proud boys, not the whole earth. It’s true either way, but maybe more on topic? lol

    Just for fun, I'd like to point out that I have never ever heard this said in Germany. It's a notion I fully support, but after a short search I couldn't find anyone who is credited with saying that, only 'foreingers' quoting it as a German saying.

    No that's absurd. Anthropogenic climate change will only cause the average temperature to increase by a few degrees where as the sun expanding will create numbers that are 100x higher. You must be insane if you think they are comparable and that the means of civilization cannot function if the average temperature is only a few degrees higher.

    I'm always surprised about how little you know about how much climate affects civilization.

    "Only a few degrees."

    Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time. --Frank Wilhoit

    Sure, if we polluted the air and water, humans could still adapt and deal with it in some way. Doesn't mean it's a good idea or that a lot of people won't suffer along the way. If we can see the possible negative outcomes of our actions, why should we not strive to avoid those actions or lessen the impact? It's like saying it's 'pure speculation' that we would get hurt by not wearing a seatbelt and driving too fast.

    Yeah, but @PC2 doesn't know that. No such thing as predictions in their world.

    Looks like the GOP is following the Proud Boys lead.... being more overt in their adoration for things Nazi.

    Yeah, sure. When all you have is a conspiracy theory...I guess you just have to go all in on it.

    The sun will expand to engulf the earth in BILLIONS of years.

    How many years does the average temperature need to increase by a few degrees, for you to see a problem?

    Proud Boys are more secular though where as that guy is a Christian supremacist. Being passionate about converting Jews into Christians is anti-semitic on some level but guys like that would probably rather be the only white guy in a Christian country rather than be the only Christian in a white country where practicing religion is banned.

    So...fundamental irrationality, fear of persecution without basis, and a complete detachment from the world and society. With a heavy dash of bigotry for flavor.

    There's a lot of terrible, awful, no-good, flat-out wrong ideas to discuss there.

    You're really bad at this.

    The majority of people are religious so that is to be expected. In this case it looks like religion is just a background feature and it's not central to the organization. A Proud Boy is more about being a macho chauvinist and there's no real underlying ideology like there is with a religious group.

    Well I hate political parties and identity groups such as ethno-nationalists. They're not based on an idea or a principle.

    Liar! I like peace and not war and genocide. I'm the exact opposite of Hitler.

    You and I agree on all the same political/governance ideas so there's point in arguing.

    You said you'd vote for Hitler. Don't blame me, because you opted for it.

    We do not believe in the same ideas, because I find racists like Trump to be utterly repugnant, and you gladly support him.
