    Just like smoking, it’s going to have to take government interventions and massive anti-plastics ad campaigns to convince people to change.

    It would be amazing if we could make it some sort of right-wing point of pride somehow… like, tell them that the reasons for all the gay and trans people in the world are because of the microplastics. Tell them that migrants would leave if we could only stop using plastics because they love the convenience of plastic and that’s why they come here.

    “Plastic makes your children turn trans!” Would be quite convincing to some.

      This is seriously the right way to go about this.

      Conservatives are extremely gullible. Why are we not manipulating them as hard as their current handlers are?
