This is a war with many fathers, all having different goals, and one big loser: the Western way of life.
There are several entities that saw a benefit in declaring war on fossil fuel: The environmentalists who are so historically illiterate that they believe a world without fossil fuels will be a bucolic paradise, rather than a Hobbesian nightmare; the leftists who want to break the West to rebuild it as a socialist paradise; the Great Reset/New World Order crowd, which envisions happy, possession-free serfs; and the Chinese, who foresee a bloodless conquest of the West which, believe me, will not be anybody’s paradise. While the winner among these groups isn’t clear, the loser is coming into focus: Ordinary people across the Western world. The latest example comes from Germany.
In 2018, President Trump warned Germany, which was proudly shutting down its own coal production and refineries, not to become dependent on Russia’s oil and gas:
Reliance on a single foreign supplier can leave a nation vulnerable to extortion and intimidation. That is why we congratulate European states, such as Poland, for leading the construction of a Baltic pipeline so that nations are not dependent on Russia to meet their energy needs. Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course.
Germany and other European countries, basking in Greta Thunberg’s approval and wallowing in their virtue, sneered at Trump’s words and went their own way. And then, in 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. There is no “I told you so” big enough to encompass Trump’s prescience.

These words sound hollow from the definitive gloBULList Free Traitor™.
are you trying to tell me that as plants decompose they turn into oil?
See, you can be Free Traitor™ and still get away with it for now, however I will aways point out that the Free Traitor™ gives up the right to call themselves patriots and conservative in the process of $elling out.
Well, first you’ll have to send me a decoder ring to translate that BS. Are you preaching some agra religion?
Globalism and nationalism are incompatible with gloBULLism. Get it?
Is that too hard to understand?
“When feelings come into conflict with reality, who wins?”
Logic would of course dictate that reality wins. Things don’t seem so logical these days. I’m ready for some of that winning. I kind of got used to it a while back.
We are the Washington Generals and apologize when we accidentally score a basket. We are so bad that we aim off target and sometimes score a win for the people by accident.
Bull shit......... fanaticized bull shit
We will fight and to continue to fight as we should fight to end the fight as we fight together with other people who fight on our side.
But, again to the point, conservatives don’t fight.
I cite the Tea Party, a great conservative revolutionary effort. There was a large rally in DC that scared the hell out of Democrats, and they then attacked and killed the Tea Party with no fight or much of a whimper. The means for conservative progress was just abandoned when a real fight was required.
Donald Trump was destroyed with no fight to support him. Conservatives bitched and moaned but would not act. Conservatives just did nothing, especially not fight
“and the Chinese, who foresee a bloodless conquest of the West which, believe me, will not be anybody’s paradise.”
Considering the other three hells, it may be the best of the bunch. At least the Chinese are still somewhat grounded in reality.
“There are several entities that saw a benefit in declaring war on fossil fuel: The environmentalists who are so historically illiterate that they believe a world without fossil fuels will be a bucolic paradise, rather than a Hobbesian nightmare; the leftists who want to break the West to rebuild it as a socialist paradise; the Great Reset/New World Order crowd, which envisions happy, possession-free serfs; “
They’re one and the same.
Start winning by stop letting them peddle the 1800s “fossil” fuel lies.
“Our side loses nearly every fight they engage in. We are the George Chavalo of heavyweight boxing.”
Yes, even though numerically we’re the majority.
I often wondered why that’s the case.
Best I can come up with is that we lack the “activist” spirit and organization.
And then I ask myself why is that?
And part of it has to do with our “conservative” nature. We’re more individualistic than “social”, and we don’t like rocking the boat, it’s in our genes.
Things have to get really, really bad to arouse us into action.
I guess we’re not there yet.
“Just look up fossil-fuel definition and they’re all about the same and anyone who says differently might be argumentative”
Just to be argumentative, methane is found in many planets of our solar system. Especially the giant ones - where no biological life has ever existed.
Also volcanic eruptions often contain methane.
And there’s also this.

The carbon comes...where do you think it goes?
From the LiveScience article cited above by another commenter:
Alternative source
The idea that petroleum is formed from dead organic matter is known as the “biogenic theory” of petroleum formation and was first proposed by a Russian scientist almost 250 years ago.
Sorry you can be a patriot or a globalist but not both.
