      If you actually listen to him talk rather than just fishing for gotchas, you’d see he points out that the government currently operates in the name of corporations - subsidies, liability protection, use of force. This is a big part of the problem in the ongoing proliferation of fossil fuel extraction and consumption. It’s not as irrational as you make it out to be, to defend personal individual rights while still directing the power of government to clean up the environment.

        I was not “fishing for gotchas.” I heard the discussion. He was using denialist talking points. And Peterson was even more so with no pushback from Kennedy.
