There's a saying, "the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing mankind that he doesn't exist."
I disagree. I think the greatest trick would be to prove that you're the good guy, and the other guy is the bad guy. If anything about the Xtian Bible is true, Lucifer is absolutely the good guy.

It's both! His slaves create the system, then sell it to the government, who is bribed to ensure it gets used.

All the comments saying it's a distraction from how the working class is being oppressed by the owner class are right, but also...
There have always been bigots, small town small minded people who don't "know any gay people" but there was that one skinny boy in their class that didn't like sports so he was bullied until he left town at 18. And now, that generation of bigots is finally dying out. Not only due to age but due to an increased connection with the greater world. A small town bigot might not know any LGBT people personally but they are aware of their existence, due to television and the Internet. So quietly ignoring people who are different than you doesn't work anymore. And a dying animal fights harder than ever.
These death throes are useful to the owner class. But they are still dying out. And if we can exterminate capitalism and figure out a way to survive in a post-warmed globe, we might just see the end of (this particular type) of bigotry.
My butthole is a marker unless I get a whiff of fiber, at which point it turns into a firehose. The only time I get a decent poop is when my diet is mostly sugar, cheese, and meat.
Gross, I can't believe anyone would do something so disgusting! Using a plastic spatula making everything taste like melted plastic.
What's an easier solution, in your opinion? Getting the ultra wealthy to give up their yachts and jets (by getting rid of the ultra wealthy entirely, which also addresses the evils of capitalism), or convincing hundreds of millions of people to change just about everything about the diet they've been eating for tens of thousands of years?
The UN doesn't even have any influence with the UN. Even if I supported lethal enforcement of environmental protections (which I do in many cases), the UN's idea of enforcement is a kindly-worded letter. If the USA doesn't back something the UN has no power. And the USA is one of literally only two countries in the entire world that don't recognize access to healthy food as a human right.
The biggest hurdle with getting widespread adoption of any scientific breakthrough is cost. If something is not more profitable than the current way of doing things it will not be adopted. Destroying our planet is pretty damn profitable, so until we exterminate capitalism I don't see anything changing.
Did the Finals finally get text chat? I remember getting annoyed that I couldn't yell at my teammates when they played like morons.
