    The Finnish Air Force swastika is such an interesting case to me, because the moment you do a google for “Finnish air force swastika”, you are blasted with rationalizations: “predates nazism”, “good luck charm”, “innocent”, “unrelated to Hitler”. You get blasted with rationalizations before you can even see the history: which is that the innocent wholesome chungus dude who brought the swastika was Hermann Göring’s brother in law lol.

    China is the world’s factory. They produce the goods consumed by every other country on these charts.

    The question becomes: given a country’s usage of fossil fuels, what do they have to show for it? Western nations burn coal to run LLMs; China is burning coal to build eliminate poverty and produce 30% of the entire world’s goods.

    Also keep in mind, energy usage has a history. Its not fair to take a snapshot of 2026’s energy splits and condemn China, given how western nations just spent the last 200 years destroying the planet.

    So, you’ve got zero problem with Trump voters on moral grounds, correct?

    How could one possibly twist themselves into believing that a political act can somehow exist outside the realm of ethics and morality? Politics is ethics. Ethics are political. Why are you you trying to decouple these? Oh wait… its because yall will do whatever mental gymnastics are needed to justify voting for a genocidal, former cop.
