If you think you want to effect real change in society
either: get into politics, work your way up through the ranks until your dreams are crushed into nothingness by the glacial system you find yourself trapped in. Or glue your hands to a tube train and achieve nothing beyond making several thousand commuters late for work. In the US, option 3 is get out your assault rifle down the mall, but don't even make the local news because you didn't achieve enough kills before SWAT took you down.

If you say so.
My point is that your argument is a standard Daily Mail/TalkSport/GBeebies style right wing talking point. Being upset at brown people is just an accurate shorthand describing that mindset.
People who think green protesting, while ideologically sound, is pretty futile because the power to change anything resides with those who won't = people who are easily swayed by right wing populism and consistently vote according to their regressive biases.

I like to argue for fun and can do so without getting upset online, incorrectly identifying logical fallacies, or making shit up.
I honestly wish that your delusions were real, but sadly it is common knowledge that the Daily Heil is a right wing rag:
"In news that will surprise very few, the Daily Mail is seen as Britainโs most right-wing newspaper. Britainโs most read newspaper is described by 44% of Brits as โvery right-wingโ, far ahead of any other paper. In total, 81% considered the paper to be right-wing to one degree or another."
yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/articles-reports/2017/03/07/how-left-or-right-wing-are-uks-newspapers
...And that right wing populism is strongly associated with climate denial:
"In this paper, we explore the possibility that right wing populism and anti-elitist attitudes fuel both ACC denial and low trust in environmental institutions. We surveyed a representative sample of Norwegians (Nโ=โ3032) to measure ACC denial, how denial is linked to socio-demographic characteristics, trust in environmental institutions, attitudes toward elites and immigration, as well as environmental attitude orientations. Results show that lack of trust in environmental institutions is strongly associated with ACC denial, and furthermore that the degree of trustโor lack thereofโis partly a function of anti-elitist attitudes, opposition to migration and views of nature."

You can prove anything with facts.

You sometimes like to put people you have an issue with, into the same group as racists
to make it easier to dismiss them and their predictable views. Like it is easy to do when declaring a bunch of individuals to be "gammons", "boomers" or "millennials".

If you don't think what you're doing (in this thread in particular) is engaging in pseudo-complex strawman arguments,
then you simply don't understand the concept. And as mofaha said, it's simply pointless trying to engage with you when you're in this headspace, so this is my first and last contribution to this shitshow of a thread.

Just to reiterate, I have not employed any straw men, and it is evident that those complaining about imaginary straw men are diverting the argument away from the actual topic.
I offer this dictionary definition of straw man in the hope that it might help to educate those persisting in its misuse:
straw man
noun
1. An argument or opponent set up so as to be easily refuted or defeated.
2. A doll or scarecrow (particularly one stuffed with straw).
3. An insubstantial concept, idea, endeavour or argument, particularly one deliberately set up to be weakly supported, so that it can be easily knocked down; especially to impugn the strength of any related thing or idea.
If my argument is pseudo-complex then it should be easy to tear down.
As my argument is actually reality-based simplicity, it was exceptionally easy to find supporting evidence.
Anti-environmentalism is a typically right wing position. This opinion is well grounded in reality and is not just something I made up in order to... ...tear my own argument down..?
Go to the Daily Mail's comment section, look up stories about brown people in dinghies, the royal family, and Downing Street. See what you find. Look at what those same commentators say on the subject of climate change protestors.
It's all so predictable that I find it astonishing to think that anyone here finds this even vaguely controversial.

2. Mail/Sun readers who comment on all the brown people in are country
See those two circles? They don't occupy exactly the same position. But yes, there is quite an overlap.

There were a few bad moments, the worst being scientifically illiterate CGI (e.g. planet Earth having no clouds or weather, and this not being a huge catastrophe) and the ever-present problem of condensed/compressed storytelling.

They should have kept Dhawan as the new face of the Doctor.
To be honest I donโt think the show can decide if it wants to be light enough for kids or laden with nostalgia for the over-40s. Itโs a cringeworthy mess as it is.

It has always been that way, I think...
People complained it was too dark/scary for kids in the 60s. Mary fucking Whitehouse complained it was too violent and scary during the Tom Baker years... I think it's been accused of being too self referential since at least the 80s..?
I think the quality of writing and direction has fallen somewhat since Moffat left, in fact it's kind of regressed to Jonathan Nathan Turner/Cartmel Masterplan levels, which is probably why the BBC have paid Russell T Davies to come back and do another reset.
Bring back Eric Saward, I say.
