Doomerism gets you nowhere.
Voting for the 70% Hitler instead of the 100% Hitler is the right move, not because it will save you or solve any of your problems, but because it gives you time, to create solutions.
Rich fucks won’t save you. Community and cooperation might. But those need time.
So vote for the least fascistic fascist available, and use the time to find solutions.
This is really interesting, but I got a bit confused by the language.
Can someone explain, what the “common mistake” being done by bad research until now is?
And what is the conclusion relating to alcohol use?
I see. Well, if I take what you’re saying as fully correct, then it sounds like communism compared to anarchism, is just “a different path for how we reach the same utopia”.
And this different path passes through more authority (quantity and quality), through the existence and emphasis of the state.
How much authority, is probably what makes the spectrum of Anarchy to Stalin-Lenin.
And well… As an anarchist, deafboy’s comment might be polemic, but I get it. Any authority that can, will get corrupted.
What makes this thing you’re describing, not anarchism?
I think you’re thinking of anarchocommunism specifically. Which is “not all communism”™.
State-based communism is a thing, that many people usually called tankies by others, do believe in.
Even to the (insufficient, overblown) extent that it happens, lifting “the poor” Han Chinese out of poverty by putting other populations (Uighurs) under slave labour instead, is not the moral win you’re implying.
If an ethnic cleansing is part of the requirements, to stop committing humanitarian atrocities towards “the poor”, that’s still an atrocity.
Disclaimer, the USA, just like every authoritarian state, is also disgusting and criminal.
Tl;dr:
France tries to pass an extremely unpopular reform on its colonized island on the other side of the world, allowing french citizens to vote after 10 years of staying on the island, that just so happens to be the world’s 3rd largest nickel exporter.
Locals, already fucked by years of colonialism and being economically disadvantaged, protested, and in the escalating violence, were suppressed by armed police, that killed 3 young locals. One policeman dies, days later in the hospital from a wound.
France locks down the airport and port with military, applies 12 days lockdown to the already curfew’d capital, and stations another 500 police men on top of the 1800, making for almost 10% of the population now, being french police.
Tiktok is banned, because it was said to be the main way protesters organised.
Their politicians claim no colonialism is happening.
This article sensationalises the violence of the protesters, and dryily describes that of the French state.
It is also ordered such that the heavier crimes against the people of the island, are placed after: a vapid introduction that “takes no sides”, one mandatory extra click to “load the rest of the article”, and a bunch of ads.
… I don’t know if I’d call it sad, as much as kinda baffling. Vim was on every package manager list I’ve seen, under text editors… Big stylised letters, how does one miss that?
I feel like it’s someone who only uses Linux specifically for (and because of) their work, and has probably never tinkered and casually browsed around in it.
Yeah, I can see how that can be sad, like a person who doesn’t actually share your culture/hobby after all.
I mean… Young people don’t know things yet… Isn’t that normal?
I get feeling existential about the passage of time, but… Sad? Laughing? Maybe I’m imagining it wrong, but I dunno. Maybe I’m just the young person in this occasion.
Did you just… Write 8g ram, implying it’s an amount small enough to belong on a school pc?
??
(I’m assuming you mean “shut up about China”, tell me if I’m wrong)
Yeah, as you correctly say, it’s a global (mostly first world) phenomenon, which, in the unique (but not special) case of China, gets its unique (but not special) flavor, worth exploring.
I’m not from China, but chunks of these stories resonate with mine and my acquaintances experience, in our own country, and others are very different.
Should all that not be reported?
“… as punishment, after her son eloped with a girl.”
Holy fucking shit I was not prepared.
I was expecting some sodomy level shit, but no, she was punished for her son’s “dishonour”. Cruelty for cruelty’s sake.
Adam, my beloved
That channel is amazing.
This would be true, if recording and labelling that work was free. But it isn’t, it requires effort.
Can someone fill me too?
You should also know that SLS is banned in the EU, so this post made no sense to me until I went to Google for answers…
I swear, sometimes it’s hard to fathom the little ways you got it rough over there.
A Google listicle about “7 banned substances in the EU” or some shit, straight up lied to me.
SLS (Sodium laurilsulfate) is not banned, not even particularly regulated, in medicinal products, in the EU.
“The vast majority of SLS use is in oral products (tablets and capsules) where it rarely displays any adverse reactions.”
It only is “not permitted”, as a food additive in the EU, and there is a 2017 study which argues for its regulation in skin products, because of irritation.
I was careless on the internet, and the world is more complicated than it seemed at first glance. Story as old as time.
Without improbable breakthroughs in Carbon Capture, or devastating energy crises, it’s too late to prevent going above 1.5C (though surpassing it and coming back down may be possible).
But, de-fossilfuelification of the energy sector is already inevitable due to market forces alone, as well as the technological capital already built.
Same goes for the actual monetary capital needed for the rapid transition. The amount we need to spend is similar in scope to (other) global-scale government spending programs (on other big issues like COVID, as well as… well, fossil fuel subsidies…)
What is limiting us, is political will.
My opinion now: Interesting stats, funky way to display graphs (worth checking the article for that alone lol), my tldr is way to short to get anything but the spirit of the article. (The droplets of hidden passive aggressive snark in some parts of it, like the “governments procrastinated the solution and now they have to last-minute-panic it” graph, were absolutely refreshing)
Someone should definitely summon the tldr bot, and honestly, people should just check the article, it’s good, if a little on the doomscrolly side
We don’t live in a direct democracy, we live in a representative one. Our representatives are supposed to, you know, represent us, in putting our government’s resources to action according to our intentions.
I mean… Isn’t the point of the headline to concisely represent the article? That’s the entire reason clickbait is considered bad.
Yeah, but, unfortunately,
And
I wish from the bottom of my heart this natural sense of justice of yours was the way to solve these issues, but those rich fucks are literally relying on, and fanning the flames of this mental pitfall, to keep people more passive on this issue.
Data and science says this protest, just like most other protests, works.
Protest in any way you see fit, different kinds of protest “work” on different people and structures. Just go and actually participate in whichever you believe in.
