Water usage is probably my biggest. Living in a high desert, my wife and MIL see no problem with filling one side of the sink with hot soapy water to wash a few dishes because “that’s just how I’ve always done it”, to watering the grass and plants for hours. All of this makes me mental.

Private ownership of vehicles should be banned. Most people’s cars are unused for 90% of the day, which is insanely inefficient. Have a pool of cars they anyone can hire just for the time they need them. It would be cheaper for everyone and there wouldn’t be three fuck ugly cars in front of every house.
Everyone deserves health care. And a decent place to live. Even people without jobs!
Everyone deserves health care.
Even people who don’t live in your country? Because that’s going to be a strain on your healthcare system.
Yes, yes, it’s a nice ideal, but when the rubber meets the road, shit can hit the fan, which means healthcare for the FIFO, and the rich.
If it’s “everyone in my circle deserves healthcare”, then it’s very realistic. “Everyone in my country” might even work as well. “Everyone in the world deserves healthcare in my country” not so much.
The abortion debate will never be resolved.
This is mainly from the two sides arguing about different things.
Pro-life is about how a life starts at conception which means that abortion is murder. Pro-choice is about how women should have a choice to have an abortion.
Pro choice is about choice
Pro life isn’t about life as they’ve never cared about any of that shit. That baby is born? Toss it in a dumpster as far as they care.
Pro life is about control and power, I’m willing to.doe on that hill a hundred times
Case and point.
You don’t actually expect me to believe that you think all Pro-life people believe that children don’t deserve a good home. Sure there might be some people out there like that. But it’s much more likely that the majority of people do actually care.
It is not even that their priorities are wrong or conflicting. I hope you can agree that being murdered is worse than those children having a bad childhood.
Please note that I am not taking either a pro-life or pro-choice position. My position is that until one side can actually understand the other the debate will never go anywhere.
Just in response to your annoyance, I have found women ive been around tend to have more of a “fuck other people and the climate” attitude than most of the guys (its usually not that abrasive, just more of a “why wouldn’t I water my grass? We have the water” attitude). Especially if there’s kids, they dont care about anything else (that’s just biology I guess). Please dont take this as sexist, it is just something ive observed.
I get very annoyed with people wasting unnessesarily and using amazon.
my favorite is the ‘love to travel’ types. point out that their trips to antarctic are toxic for the environment there and they lose it on you. because cute pics with penguins are worth it!
