That's what a (probably intentional) lack of education does to people.

Republican politicians can openly use traditional antisemitic narratives that a majority of people doesn't recognize anymore as a dogwhistle again.

Trump as well as -idiotic as it is- Israel's government can openly steal from Hitler's rhetoric.

People wanting to peacefully protest for Palestine miss the very obvious antisemitc clues of some people standing right beside them and supporting their message for the completely wrong reason, this way delegitimizing their actual cause.

And in the end any nuanced and informed discussion (that is important for a working democracy) gets derailed and replaced by polarisation and brain-dead tribalism.

Mission accomplished... And the people behind that mission definitely aren't part of some global conspiracy (of Jews or others) but mostly just right populists and authoritarians operating independently or loosely allied at best with the same well-tested anti-democracy playbook.

But that would solve something. And that's not wanted.

So instead we will lament ballooning costs and build times for nuclear and invent narratives how that's totally not caused by nuclear being a shitty alternative to renewables and storage.

This way we can spend another few decades on building a none-solution while just accidently also having sunk so much money already that changing to an actual solution doesn't make sense anymore.

Oh, sorry. Were we expected to stop burning fossil fuels? Doesn't seem to work for some reason, but don't worry. Building nuclear will totally solve this. Any decade now... (And no, we totally did not build to little anyway, just to make sure it will never solve anything even if the unimaginable happens and build times and costs become manageable...)

Yes, that's obviously what your nuclear fairy tales are aming for: Not building even the minimal capacity needed for base load, failing to build that insufficient capacity at a reasonable time/cost frame, failing to build the complementary renewables and then crying why you need to still burn fossil fuels in decades... while obviously blaming renewables (that you failed to build) and storage (that you denied is viable) for the failings of nuclear.

Please list the countries either planning/building or already having sufficiently modern capacities right now to cover just the minimal base load of ~30-35% of the projected electricity demand by 2050 and onward... Hint: The one country close is France, which will be able to (barely) reach 30% of their projected demand when they build all the planned new reactors... where "all" is the full 14, not the bullshit right now of only bulding 6 with 8 being optional. Because nothing about those is optional. They are the bare minimum that will be needed. But even in France you can't honestly tell the people the required amounts and investments needed...

That's the actual state of nuclear power right now... It's prohibitely expensive and inefficient and only kept alive by lobbyists. And by people like you they brain-washed for decades who are now fighting their fight against renewables (that are actually also a requirement for every viable nuclear model) and cheering for every country building nuclear power even when it's mathematically proven that it's purely symbolical and not even close to relevant for co2-neutrality.
