I wish it was new… These lazy fuckers recycle their talking points and morons like the one above eat them up because it’s easier than a simple search I guess.
- Comment on Trump administration orders halt to in-progress wind farm construction 1 week ago:
This is demonstrably false, most wind farms offset their carbon cost in a matter of single digit years and then it’s pure profit.
These numbers exist, you don’t have to take propaganda at face value.
Here’s something that might be accessible to you because it has funny youtu.be/wBC_bug5DIQ

As a leftist you should understand that it’s insincere to compare implementations of communism to the core inextricable functions of capitalism. Bad implementations of communism have wealth disparity, all implementations of capitalism have wealth disparity.

I’ll acknowledge my comment was rude, you are expressing humility now that wasn’t present in your original assertive message. You hopefully have a better understanding now.
This misinformation about national debt that you unintentionally spread is used by conservatives around the world to deny people services
- Comment on AI-driven weather prediction breakthrough reported - The Guardian 4 weeks ago:
Some people when faced with an overly simple explanation doubt their own understanding and try to see why experts and academics say otherwise.
Others assume they know better than the experts and everyone is an idiot but them.
Maybe you know a lot about a topic, and see others choose one of those paths when questioning your area of expertise.
Which kind of person do you want to be?

One thing we overlook in ideological debates is that most forms of socialism and communism would have no use for advertising and marketing. Imagine all this effort going to productive endeavors and having an IRL adblock.
May my last online purchase be a beret.
- Comment on Your voice assistant is profiling you, just not in the way you expect, new research finds. 5 weeks ago:
While this is true, it’s not difficult to verify. You can inspect the network traffic through your router from that device and see whether it’s communicating more often or with larger data packets while you’re talking near but not to it.
That could be obfuscated with a powerful enough device that’s able to maintain the user profile locally and by sending the full profile each time, or by trickling the information out bit by bit as part of a regular heartbeat traffic, but that would require more expensive hardware and would eat up a lot more bandwidth.
Not impossible, but not undetectable either. I’m willing to bet that studies have been done.
Skepticism is good but without thinking through it, experimenting, or doing research to back it up it’s just paranoia. Conversely you could say my trust that others would have looked into it is naive.

- Comment on We could be going towards Star Trek like earth, but instead we're going for Star Wars like democracies 2 months ago:
You’re standpilling my argument.
Anyway I’ll drop it and move on but the thread is about critiquing our society by way of movie references, which is on topic for what I’m saying and kinda proves my point.
- Comment on We could be going towards Star Trek like earth, but instead we're going for Star Wars like democracies 2 months ago:
You’re reaching deep into your grab bag of labels. Am I gaslighting you now?
I commented my opinion on the original post and then I employed sarcasm when you accused me of gatekeeping.
My reaction to this thread being all about movie references was to wish we didn’t think about our society only in those terms and I shared it.

actually I wasn’t able to delete OP’s post after all

It’d be pretty dope if we discussed society and politics using political theory and philosophy instead of different kinds of media

yeah at this point I’m not gonna be satisfied with “defeating them at the polls” and Bidening things up for a few years. There need to be real consequences here.

I deleted it because I’m not interested in picking a fight on his topic but
Our internal politics are probably more important than the entirety whatever country you live in. We spend way too much on our military for you not to pay attention.
Even a “good guy” like you can’t seem to get out of this mindset that Americans are the most important.
When it comes to global politics I care as much about your slide into fascism as I do about any other. It’s closer to home for me, but these are global trends and caused by you.
If you all adopted more of a global worldview instead of this exceptionalism and dominance oriented worldview we’d all be better off.
The main difference in this presidency is just that it’s mask off and former allies are no longer treated like they’re part of the Imperial core. You’ve been doing this to everyone else under both teams.
- Comment on GOP Proposes $4.5 Trillion Tax Giveaway to the Rich While 'Ransacking' Food Stamps and Medicaid 2 months ago:
The only real value is in our resources, labor, and manufacturing capability, and those will still be here.
This is why I’ve always considered “capital flight” an empty threat. Let capital leave… They’ve done more harm by staying and slowly moving all of our production capacity overseas.
These idiots think destroying the systems will hurt us, they’re so bought into their own bullshit. That’s the silver lining in all this, we’ll build back stronger.
- Comment on GOP Proposes $4.5 Trillion Tax Giveaway to the Rich While 'Ransacking' Food Stamps and Medicaid 2 months ago:
Exactly. Americans have been doing the same sorts of things since basically their inception. The only difference was that it was only impacting countries that weren’t in their sphere of influence. The only difference now is they’ve decided to let all the air out of that sphere to the point where former allies are being treated the same way everyone else had been for a hundred years.
It’s gonna damage us all, but the silver lining is that the US will never be dominant again. It was happening slowly, now it’s happening before our eyes.
- Comment on GOP Proposes $4.5 Trillion Tax Giveaway to the Rich While 'Ransacking' Food Stamps and Medicaid 2 months ago:
Hoarding a bunch of US dollars while giving everyone every incentive to disconnect from the US economy.
It’s like they think the economic world order is a law of nature.
We could all stop using money today, and decide on a whole different system, and they’d have nothing again but our hatred.
Keep pushing, morons.
