Now to the environmentalism.
First of all, environmentalism is a fucking retarded ideology. Don't tell me that anthropogenic climate change is scientifically proven. This is not how the debate is actually led. What I see when I look at the arguments of environmentalists are ad hominems, shaming, ad verecundiams, and outright intimidation. You cannot even be a skeptic without having shit thrown at you. You'll be reminded that 97% of all scientists believe in anthropogenic climate change, so you'd be an idiot for not believing in it too, when in fact this number couldn't be more inflated: https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexepstein/2015/01/06/97-of-climate-scientists-agree-is-100-wrong/2/#39291dc33414
Now, I may be a dumb idiot who didn't graduate from a STEM-field, but I'm smart enough to know that when shitty research like this is thrown around by the president of the United States, something's wrong.
So much for that. Now, let's look at this:

>Let's hope 2018 will be the year when Trump abolishes all regulations so the corporations can peacefully destroy the environment and condemn us all to death.
And this: >>73562
>Every other day you hear about him allowing direct attacks on the environment and our futures for increased profit, driven in large part by the ideology of free markets that you hold so dear. So yes, you should be proud that corporations are becoming increasingly more """free""" to poison us and our families, because that death cult you call your ideology played an important role in it.
You're not just saying that Trump has cut regulations pertaining to the environment. You also implied, from the get go, that these deregulations are part of a larger free market agenda. That begs the question, does this agenda exist?
Trumps proposed budget for 2018 has a 1% lower expenditure than the budget of 2017. The expenditure is still far higher than those of 2016, 2015, or any of the preceeding years. He still proposes to run on a massive deficit, too, one in the middle twelve figure range. He hasn't siginificantly challenged the Fed or its policy, and Ron Paul himself was disappointed in his pick for chair of the Fed. His tax cuts amount to an increase in income after taxation by between one and three percent. You're telling me that this is a man who is deeply inspired by the idea of the free market, even one who follows my ideology?
You could say that technically, I was wrong, because Trump did deregulate something, but technically, no one cares about technicalities but lawyers and analytical philosophers, and neither group would have the right to vote if I had a say in the matter. My general point still stands: There is no large deregulation effort from Trump. If he's cutting back on environmental regulations, that's because he hates environmental policy, not because he loves the market.
