    If you remain perfectly still, you’ll stop sinking at your waist

    I’m not sure you understand buoyancy. Floating objects float, they don’t sink no matter how much thrashing about. And while quicksand is denser than water, it’s still not dense enough to float a human at their waist, it’s actually around their chest.

    Nobody dies from drowning in quicksand. Ever. It’s always dehydration/fatigue.

    We now use the scientific method to argue ideas, but in the past ideas could just be laughed at if people thought they sounded dumb.

    Used to before the whole covid scam anyway. Now it’s “trust the science” which of course is an oxymoron. The whole point of science is that we don’t trust it, we verify it. And that wasn’t allowed.

    It’s not ‘for nothing’. So-called “net zero” policies are incredibly costly to implement (not to mention completely unattainable). These policies (that aren’t voted on and pushed by global special interest groups) inflict great harm on the economy and food availability.

    Attacking farmers is never the right answer. Imagine attacking your own food supply. How pathetic.
