Do people generally pay much attention to usernames anyway? One of the things that attracted me to old-school forums, then reddit, and now the feddiverse is the decentralized anonymity. It's all just voices, and they're all treated as equal, though you can still look at their histories or profiles and get more context if you want. I like that it's not front-facing. The ideas come first, and personality is secondary.

‘Hell on earth’: Phoenix’s extreme heatwave tests the limits of survival

You know why they think that. They believe, truly, that God made the world for man to exploit and use up, and anyone who says otherwise is spouting the Devil's lies.

Some will claim to believe that it doesn't matter one way or the other, that this is the only life we have, and that there's no point in sacrificing our own joy for the future of others. This apathetic stance is held by many, but it is wielded as a shield and reinforced by those who believe that Earth is just a toy for us to have fun with and break, but won't say it openly.

Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, this conflict is a religious one, and anyone who denies that is only enabling the wingnuts destroying this planet.
