@TheOhioRob@DeepNotShallow MLK called out "progressive" incrementalism for the bullshit it is over 60 years ago.

@palegreenpant@alphaporgs@venikunche "the regulatory process is too long and costly" is not a fact; it is, as you admit, a "view" that you are trying to promote to the status of fact for rhetorical purposes.
"People who study this" are not all equally qualified to do so.
