Cute admission...

You seem to be torn between open discussion (do EV's have negative effects?) and ideological purity (EV's must be only prestented as positive regardless of facts).

You know what you should be thinking (adhere to the Party line) and you are afraid that taking part in free discussion might lead you to conclusions that are at odds.... So you would rather self-censor your thoughts and avoid any discussion.

Welcome to 1984...



Cute armchair psychology....

But relax and think about why tire emissions of heavy cars are brought up with EVs in particular, when the same point can be made with SUVs vs. smaller cars.

Going further, who stands to gain, multi national oil conglomerates who are known for manipulating public discourse in favor of cars vs. public transport and right of way and on the other side, the bad bad people trying to act on a very inconvenient and annoying scientific consensus that we need to alter our behaviour.

1984 indeed, but who is the powerful oppressor here, especially when you are a child, witnessing the destruction of what your parents were still able to enjoy.


All right. A conspiracy of big, bad business... That surely makes for rational conversation.

Yes comrade, Enemy never sleeps, we must be always cautious and of highest ideological purity...


Just mirroring your tone.

Its not ideological purity but pragmatism, in more way than one.

Do you feel triggered by "green"-ness?
