Consider how rapidly they have been built, and the capitalists’ plans to make many many more. Now also consider the state of the planet’s ecology and the already terrible effects of climate change.

To me, it’s incomprehensible that regular people haven’t already revolted against the death spiral the capitalist class has put us on.

The whole point of the “Not Guilty” crowd is that Mangione’s killing of Brian Thompson was justice, not murder. He is not guilty of a crime, even if he did kill him.

We have had the technology to completely switch to sustainable energy for at least 20 years, but we haven’t because it wouldn’t be profitable to the capitalist class. This problem isn’t caused by us, it’s caused by them.

And yet, Murdoch is simply a symptom of the real disease, capitalism. Without him, we would still be in the same situation, because capitalism requires endless growth and both incentivizes and requires greed and individualistic behavior from those with power.

A global socialist revolution is the only thing that can save our species and the biosphere.

Then what about it is a joke?

Look at Mr. Reactionary over here, pitching a fit because I (and the rest of the world outside of the West) disagree with his CIA-sponsored worldview.

In colder climates you actually have to plan to eat preserved food until late spring, when everything that started growing when the snow melted has finally started to produce food.

Our natural state is to exist in collective communities. It is only capitalism that has atomized us into individuals competing against everyone else.

You didn’t even click the link, did you?

And not just “dealing with it.” Ending it by increasing regional economic opportunities, infrastructure projects, increasing access to healthcare and education, and thereby effectively eliminating poverty, the root cause of most crime, including terrorism. Oh, and all of that without impacting the Uyghur peoples’ culture or religion.

At least, that’s what the rest of the world outside of America, Europe, and Israel say.

It’s amazing how many downvotes you are getting just for refuting the genocide narrative with simple facts and logic. I can’t tell if people are so afraid of being labeled a genocide denier or if they are genuinely this propagandized that they just instinctively react emotionally to anything that counters their worldview. It’s sad, to be honest.

None of that has happened. You have been fed propaganda.

There is no evidence of genocide of the Uyghurs. Here is an article detailing and debunking the false allegations. https://www.qiaocollective.com/education/xinjiang?rq=Xinjiang

Unfortunately, you have been fed anti-communist propaganda.

Instead of just reactively downvoting me, actually read the article. It’s exceptionally well sourced, and fits all the necessary criteria for good journalism.

I just bought a FP6 with /e/os installed by Murena in the US and it’s been great so far except that RCS isn’t supported by /e/os so group texts don’t work. Which is honestly a huge issue that is causing enough social friction that I’ll probably revert to an iPhone soon.

“Dialectical world-views”

Capitalists are once again admitting that they’re fucking terrified of Marx.

What are the benefits of installing a new launcher? Is it just aesthetics?

Thanks for your answer! I feel like that makes sense on a global scale, but mightn’t local and regional scales be more impacted? We already know that the transpiration from forests affects rain patterns, and the forests don’t need to be huge either.

Also, some ecosystems might be particularly vulnerable. For example, redwood trees actually absorb most of their water through their leaves from fog and mist. Could a local humidity harvesting plant potentially pull enough water from the air that the osmotic pressure is reduced below what redwoods need to absorb water? I suspect the answer is actually no for this particular examole, but my point is that powerful technologies like these must be thought through, especially if someone is claiming zero side effects. The time is long past for humanity to learn a little caution with potential climate changing technologies.

At mass scale, could taking enough moisture out of the air affect local weather patterns?

Generally declining birthrates and specifically the disappearance of the middle class are almost inevitable in late-stage capitalism (the stage where outward expansion is complete, so capitalists must turn their gaze inward and increase exploitation at home). Although, let’s be clear, everyone except the capitalist loses in this scenario, and it will hurt people who are currently in poverty much harder than it will the middle class who are only beginning to drown.

But there isn’t some conspiracy making this happen. It is only the machinery of the system that makes true the statement, “If I don’t, someone else will.”

I’m sure many of the educated oligarchs know that this is how the system works. It’s why they’re all building bunkers. It doesn’t need a shadowy cabal in a smoky room, though. Profit inventivizes all.

All of those progresses are despite neoliberalism, not because of it. Neoliberalism is great at one thing only - concentrating wealth in the hands of the already wealthy. If there was no resistance to neoliberalism, we’d already be living in dystopia instead of rapidly approaching it.
