copy behaviour
I remark some form of copy behaviour by some party's. I think the best example is the climate change in the US and in Europe. In the US this policy has to do with a great number of persons who think themselves in conflict with Darwin and are strongly inclined to show that science can be wrong. There is also an important coal industry who is interested in building off some regulations and in the same thing showing that science could be wrong. That give an explicit or implicit coalition what can bring a number of votes and industrial support to a party that take that view in their program. You find the same groups supporting climate denial and creationism. The situation in Europe is quite different. Creationism is exceptional, many European countries have no longer a coal industry. But some industries may still be ready to support party's that are prepared to put these idea's in their programs. But it is still bizarre that the US idea's are copied by certain actors while the context is so different.

With the covid-19 it may be there is a similar evolution. We see president Trump, while he knows very well the dangers of this virus, publicly underplaying it, probably while trying to support the stock market for his reelection. (Doesn't many US citizens need the stock market to be good for there pension?) And we see some groups here in another context trying to criticize the measures against the virus. While it is possible to ask questions about this measures I have the impression that that criticism is coming mainly from the same places that are already copying other things from the same source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.235.105.194 (talk) 18:43, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
