Oh please… did you believe the American Tobacco Company when it said cigarettes are actually good for you? How about the liquor cartels telling you drinking makes you irresistible to the opposite sex, or maybe how manly or babely you look with a couple carats of diamond embedded in some gold hanging off your body like a gypsy carries her coins.
Did you believe that shit? Nah…

Almost everyone in the family and community in which I was raised believes that human-caused climate change is not real. They believe that all climate change is a wholly unavoidable phenomenon that is just part of the earth’s natural cycle. You can imply that no one has actually been fooled by the oil industry’s propaganda all you want, but it’s both incorrect & unproductive to do so.

yes, and you could’ve said that without using a slur for and ethnically stereotyping Romany people.
