  Won’t the US just declare you a narco-state and sanctions you to death?

  There’s always going to be a black market unless you want the drug trade totally unregulated. No drug standards, no age limits, no quality control, just a wild West free for all.

  And then the State Department starts flooding Amazon warehouses with drugs and guns to ruin the co-op and make people nostalgic for the good ol days when the Bezos junta was around to control the gangs.

  Social means? So, what, anyone under 18 has to have rigid gender expression and isn’t allowed to wear the “wrong” clothes or have a nickname?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Too bad we can't have good public transportation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  China has an ambitious urbanization plan, so they’re building the cities before there are people actually living there to get ahead of demand. It’s not like China has a shortage of people to live in these cities and they have central planning, they can just move production into these developments and people will move there for work. In fact, it’s happening right now. They don’t just build empty cities that just sit empty forever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure Hamas uses “settler” to refer to the Europeans and their descendents, because Israel is an active settler-colonial project.

  Not because they’re Jewish, but because they’re white.

  Lake Erie was dead from pollution. The Cuyahoga River in Ohio was so polluted it caught fire.

  I misunderstood the examples given, I figured they were filled with trash, looking it up I see trash was only part of the problem.

  But that doesn’t actually change my point! Cleaning up toxic waste at a single lake or river site isn’t the same as cleaning the atmosphere of the entire fucking planet. It’s absurd to put these on the same scale as climate change.

  We don’t even have the technology to clean the atmosphere on a human timescale, and it might not even be possible.

  I already mentioned CFC’s which required global cooperation on a scale never seen before.

  CFCs were only emitted from a few specific industries and could be eliminated easily with alternatives, and they weren’t the basis for the entire economy. CFCs are also not present in the atmosphere for very long and they decay very quickly, and were only present at a little over 1 part per billion. They’re already falling because eliminating them was easy.

  We’re at 415 parts per million in CO2 concentrations. That’s orders of magnitude in difference, and the carbon that is already present will take multiple human lifetimes to be removed via natural means.

  CFCs were baby shit compared to this crisis of civilization.

  Everything is bigger than anying human history because we have more people.

  That also means we have more enemies, and at the moment those enemies are controlling the US government.

  Okay, so we’ve gone from “80%” to “half.”

  Interesting.

  Now, consider the fact that they used “settler” and “IDF” separately. That tells me that they actually don’t believe every single Jew in Israel is a settler, and in fact they are referring specifically to the illegal settler movement that is actively and continually stealing more land as we speak.

  So. All members of the active and ongoing settler movement and IDF members. I don’t see how that’s unreasonable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Settlers and IDF members make up more than 80% of the world’s Jews?

  Climate change isn’t the same as cleaning up litter? It’s on a global scale of gigatons of emissions, involving every industrialized nation all interacting together with the environment.

  This is bigger than anything in human history. Stop fucking comparing it to cleaning up some fucking tires in a river.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Humans for free market! Humans for free market!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of those slugs own salt shakers, is the thing. Small business owners and landlorda and slugs with retirement investments are, themselves, salting other slugs. There’s also some slugs which have been promoted to salt shakers by their salty bosses, so even if they don’t own the salt shakers themselves they still get to use it and benefit from it.

  They’re fine getting a little salt as long as they can keep salting the people under them.

  People are organizing in their communities to patrol for ICE and respond to ICE raids, which is quite a bit like the Black Panthers “cop watch” and community patrols.

  You literally called it borderline magic.

  Don’t do that? They’re pattern recognition engines, they can produce some neat results but they really aren’t that impressive. This “borderline magic” line is why they’re trying to shove these chatbots into literally everything, even though they aren’t good at most tasks.
