I could have been more careful with my language: it's the ones at the top, the ones positioning themselves to take lead positions and/or being positioned as useful puppets, manufacturing and weaponizing an ideological mob that doesn't care about or follow critical thinking to actually find out what the truth is, and how urgent or not urgent climate change is or how severe and how easily mitigable human impact on climate is.

Are you familiar with the concepts of manufacturing consent, fear mongering, regulatory capture, turnkey authoritarianism, tyranny, etc?
