    Wind farms are commonly installed on farm land as well as land used to herd animals. So explain to me why THIS land is any different? It’s not. But she was bafflingly protesting against it.

      Because it’s indigenous land. The point is that the people who live there should get a say after centuries of genocide.

      You can find out for yourself rather than attempting to discuss in bad faith.

        See recent thread about “just google it” mantra.

        Conversation is helpful. Even with people who disagree with you.

          “it’s not” shows that the person has already made their mind up and done their reading, so I’m not particularly bothered about engaging people like this as they are not actually interested and are just trying to derail in bad faith.

            It shows that they currently disagree with you.

            are just trying to derail

            Well yeah, a genuine conversation can go anywhere, unlike something on rails which is bound for a single destination. IMO someone who thinks a conversation should behave like a train and follow a predetermined path is missing out on what conversations actually are.

            Another way to say “trying to derail” could be “trying to make it go a different direction”.

            That’s conflict. That’s when two people have different ideas. Just because they use sarcasm or rhetorical questions doesn’t mean they’re bad actors. Just because they’re mocking your point of view doesn’t mean they’re bad actors.

              No, they answered their own question, they are settled and unwilling to discuss. The upvotes on my post show how the consensus is that they are engaging in bad faith. Don’t encourage it.
