Some people live in a lovely old rambling mansion with a busted HVAC system stuck on full blast sometimes, fires breaking out in the northwest and west wings all the time, and rising damp from a basement full of water seven feet deep and rising, but they think they should start building a new skyscraper on the empty lot across the street.

For what it’s worth, the classification “category 1” carcinogen does not indicate severity or level of risk. Everything that is carcinogenic is in category 1. If something is “maybe carcinogenic, unsure”, it’s category 2. Plutonium is in category 1, but so are alcoholic beverages and birth control pills.

I also hate Americans who disagree with and want to hurt me.

It’s pretty great judo. The hard right spews neverending bullshit as a weapon to erode the concept of truth and it’s ineffective to try to debunk or fact-check that noise. Ridicule lands well against fascism though.
