Or do you actually realize it's not and are simply simping for your chosen side of the same stupid bird?

Me: Answers questions with facts

You: Simp!

Dude, I've never even been to the States.

The military can go around, they're not supposed to be on my property anyway.

Also in case you didn't realise, we're talking airspace. Those turbines are way high.

Again, what gives anyone the right to determine what someone else puts on land they own?

You seem to actively want people to have to obey someone else, and if that's not sucking authoritarian cock I don't know what is.

In case your attempt to start arguments is sparked from actual ignorance ….

federal permitting and leasing for wind projects

many wind farms are not on owned property. In particular for offshore wind farms there is no land that can be owned. Many projects are in locations leased from the government
if turbines are above above a certain height, it affects airspace used for flying, you don’t own
even renewables can be bad for the environment. The trope about killing birds has some truth to it, and environmental review keeps it from happening
yes, renewables can affect your neighbors and they deserve some consideration
yes, it’s conceivable that a wind farm offshore or near a base or a border can have national security implications

In a nation of laws, things like this are worth considering. However that is different than using them as cover for personal beliefs

I'm well aware of the justifications used to say a person's property isn't actually theirs.

I just disagree with them all.

You keep ascribing desires to me when I've done nothing more than explain the current situation... I have not stated a single opinion of mine in this thread thus far.

[–] HiTekRedNek@lemmy.world -3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It all goes back to the fact that you tried to blame it all on Trump and his ilk, while I agree that he shares the blame, you are actually refusing to acknowledge the rest of the situation.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Ye gods. Yeah I'm done here.

I think they tried to warn you with their username.
