There truly are some “enviros” that are desiring some energy source that “doesn’t pollute”. Often when you point out the folly and the actual INCREASED “pollution” of the alternative they are supporting, they get really offended and mad.

That’s when you know this person is deriving their self-righteousness from their advocacy.

The truly evil, sick side of this is that people use this desire for righteousness to manipulate the sheeperals into supporting policies whose real goal is to disallow “commoners” the use of ANY resources, because those resources “rightfully belong to” the elite.

"The truly evil, sick side of this is that people use this desire for righteousness to manipulate the sheeperals into supporting policies whose real goal is to disallow “commoners” the use of ANY resources, because those resources “rightfully belong to” the elite." Often when you get to use Cui Bono: Cui bono /kwiːˈboʊnoʊ/ "to whose benefit?", literally "as a benefit to whom?" Some really dark sides of these bastards flows out.

Wow! I never heard that analysis before. It explains so much about why libs can't see reality. I'm gonna remember that thought. I might change "self-righteousness" to "self-worth", but the thought is very profound.
