I think it’s incomprehensible to be okay with dirty water and air where you live. Maybe it hasn’t happened where you are, but that would be a poor excuse, anyway.
When ideology becomes more important than your health and the health of those close to you, something is wrong, no matter if it comes from the Right the Left or anywhere else.
No issue is more important than the health of the populace.
Even the people on the Left, who use that tool as a way to restrict our freedoms, don't believe that line.
You shouldn't be so foolish as to believe it either.
You should try to be smarter than a Leftist, because that isn't so hard to do.
