  • He's standing down at the next general election anyway, so this isn't about saving his seat.

  • Sorry, I don't understand the relevance of this comment. I didn't mention money and nor did OP. I don't think tankies are better than Evangelicals, either (which I assume is what you meant). I just think the Evangelicals are more of a problem, because of their greater influence.

  • Interestingly, Bertrand Russell made a similar argument about Marxism and Christianity, so you're not alone in feeling this way.

    I think the tendency you're describing is real, but it only holds among a tiny minority of people, who happen to be quite loud in mainly online spaces. There's no significant organisation of any kind that holds those views or is doing anything to implement them as any kind of policy, anywhere in the world.

    Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of evangelical Christians!

    My advice dealing with either is to politely engage, explain your views and, if they start being rude, stop talking to them.

  • As someone from outside the US, I just want to say: please do vote again for Joe Biden. He is without doubt the most pro-environment US President there has ever been.

    EDIT: Thanks to !memfree@beehaw.org, I've been reminded to update this post to say:

    Vote for Kamala Harris, the Vice President to the most pro-environment US President there has ever been!

  • Not a contemporary one, but during the French Revolution, they used 'Citizen' for everyone.
