They aren’t even tangentially related to the solution. We need to crush that myth. These are oil producers that are concerned only with how to maximize their profits from the remaining oil supply. There has been 28 of these conferences so far and not a I gel thing has been fixed. They spent the first two days of the conference arguing over the term “phasing out”.

The only way the climate crises will ever be fixed is with democratic control of heavy industry.

Yeah, that’s why I took this username.

… Gosh, I’m beginning to think that a US-lead NATO might not be good for global peace and that the US government might be the most reactionary, anti-progressive polity in the modern world. I’m beginning to think that I’ve been fed lies all my life by media manufacturing consent for unjustifiable wars! Operation Desert Storm, Iraq War, WMDs, War on Terror, the Nakba, the second Nakba, the overthrow of the leftist Guatemalan government and subsequent ethnic cleansing of the Mayan people (if you want I can keep going.) It’s almost like it has happened over and over again and Americans allies go along with it every single time because they stand to gain something from! It’s like any military organization made up of these psychopaths will only be used for destabilizing the developing world! It’s like our governments have an interest in keeping the rest of the world destabilized so that they and their supporting billionaires can profit from exploiting the world resources and labor.

(Obligatory ‘Putin is a cunt’ because people on Lemmy lack the capability to think one person can hold both these political opinions at the same time)

I can almost guarantee that NATO will do some tricky “in order to defend NATO countries we must attack Russia first” business.

To be clear she wasn’t just sent spiders. This woman had a targeted harassment and stalking campaign conducted against her for months by six people. They went to her house and sent her threatening messages that implied she might be in danger.

Am I crazy or is none of what you said in anyway an answer/rebuttal to what I said? Maybe I didn’t word my post correctly, maybe you were just being glib. I’m going to bed.

What will this industry look like in 10 years? How about 30? Will other business try to move in when they discover how profitable this industry can be? Will all the capitalists follow the same rules that this guy is following?

There are entire Caribbean islands that no longer have sand beaches because they were trucked away illegally by concrete companies.

Yeah. Who will we make fun of if they’re all gone?

That’s the joke. This is literally a problem directly cause by capitalism, and voting will not solve this issue.

But people still think voting is the only way we can improve society.

lol just vote

It’s because the money that finds its way into the party only does so at the behest of the billionaires and millionaires. If they start leaning left, with more candidates that push for labor reforms like AOC, that money gets cut off. Political parties under capitalism can only operate one way.

The democrats are right leaning centre. Good god, man, you don’t even know what a leftie is.

My problem is that when I log in and have 10+ notifications I think “oh no what did I say” and then never check them.

I think the funniest things is that she is STILL a loyal Republican. She knows the type of people they are, and she still refuses to leave the party or denounce them.

The vast majority of republican politicians are trump supporters. They have the party. They control it. All the current nominees are aping the trump brand in the hopes that enough clueless idiots will vote for them. The time of McCain and Bush are long gone — these proto-fascists have taken the party and they won’t let go until

1. They’re destroyed;
2. They win and seek out an eliminate anyone in power with left-leaning politics.
