So O&G not a contributor to climate change huh?
This actually tracks, brought to you by the same people who say guns dont kill people, only people do.
By that logic, its not the gas that did it but the person driving the car (or buying the plastic widget produced by that sprawling factory)

3 quotes, do u know who said them?
“Who controls the past controls the present; who controls the present controls the future”
“If you ignore the past you jeopardize the #future”
“A people without a #history is like a root without trees”
All very emblematic of #Via, first official post next week!

Fun etymology about the word Hypocrite!
The -crite part comes from the Greek to judge (think criterion, criteria, critical) while hypo- means below or under.
So literally hypocrisy is just making judgements from a lower position than that being judged.
Which way is up rn????

Every1 knows how #comedy works right?
The key is theres always an #elementoftruth in each fantastical nugget. Otherwise its just exposition. Erosion of comedy is just allowing exposition alone into comedy.

1. Were created since 2020
2. Discuss me but dont include me
3. Are being monitored without their knowledge
Is it just a bunch of concentric circles??? And what is the order????
