I think the left should take advantage of this. As an anarchist, I’m not a fan of state education, if leftist groups started schools the way the right does, we can turn this on them. Even the threat of doing so might make them reconsider.
Similar in idea to how minorities getting armed inspired gun laws in the 80s.
Save a slap for the leap seconds creator.
Or, we could collectively realize time is but an illusion and transcend this silly problem.
In my view, “state” is by definition domination. There can be organization, community, and cooperation though without domination.
State is inherently evil. There is no non-evil way to dominate others.
This is true to some degree, but ignores several important factors, such as
As expected, the purpose of state is to facilitate relatively safe theft from classes not in control of it, and blocking justice is the primary method.
Rail as part of degrowth is a great idea. Rail as part of expanded exploitation of natural resources is not.
8 billion is unsustainable, our population will decrease drastically in the coming century. We can choose whether it’s via degrowth (a controlled, intentional, intelligent reversal of the economic growth of the last decades) or famine, disease, and war.
I fear you’re right that degrowth will never happen and we’re just going to march toward collapse.
Studying the bible is what started me on the path to atheism.
EVs can’t save the environment. EVs are made from oil (tires, plastics), and the metals they are made from are extracted and shipped using huge machines also made from and burning oil.
Switching from pumping oil to mining Lithium isn’t a net improvement to the environment.
Any mode of transportation that is heavy and uses tires is going to be a major source of microplastics.
It is not possible to expand into sustainability when it’s our massive scale that is at the core of our unsustainability. Degrowth is our only chance.
Wake up man! These woke people are nothing but trouble!
No, what was that about?
I think the key would be to not use any additional resources to grow, harvest, etc.
This could be done for example by landscaping companies that put their waste through a retort (which could be anything from a stove made of mud bricks, to a mobile trailer that does on-site pyrolysis and use the resulting biochar to fertilize their customer’s plants. Farms could put their waste through it, innoculate the biochar with animal waste, and use it as fertilizer.
I make biochar from my backyard waste in my firepit using a can like this guy.
Any other method of carbon capture I’ve ever heard about makes no sense. Having hundreds of engineers and workers drive to work for years to engineer and build giant metal and plastic factory/machines with parking lots that require staff that has to drive and park there, etc is nonsense. And even if they work, what would they do with the carbon? Biochar provides a cycle that is accessible to everyone, can be done on-site, uses no fancy technology, nothing is patented, and doesn’t require all this nonsense.
Biochar (created in a retort) is how you sustainably sequester carbon for the long-term using trees (and similar biomass).
I did for like two minutes, maybe I didn’t find the thing you’re talking about. It doesn’t matter, the fact that bad shit has happened under or even due to Biden doesn’t mean Trump isn’t far more dangerous. It’s a matter of degree (like would you rather be shot in the head or kicked in the nuts, they’re both bad, not equivalent), there is no option for president that is without major concern.
I’m a trans (and Mexican) person, my choice is this:
–> Keep in mind, they both support genocide in Palestine, they both will disappear people at protests, climate change will be fixed under neither of them
Trump: Has made it clear retribution is a major theme of his next presidency should he win. His base hates me with a fiery passion and would put me in an oven without a second of thought needed. If Trump wins, the likelihood that I can retain the right to housing and employment to support myself, and not get disappeared for being who I am is virtually nil.
Biden: Has maintained and even expanded rights for LGBT people. If Biden wins, there is no direct threat to my job, housing, or life. If Biden wins, I can continue taking care of my kitties, be there for my family, work to help others, I can’t help anyone or be there for anyone if I’m forced into prostitution to survive, dead, incarcerated.
That’s what I mean, a few people being disappeared in a particularly crazy summer of nationwide protests years ago is way better than it being the norm for anyone that doesn’t agree with the Trump admin.
Do you not understand degrees of harm and think that since Biden isn’t a perfect communist than he is no different than an full on fascist dictatorship? Do you hate you mom like Hitler if she doesn’t give you Cheetos for dinner?
Didn’t Kerry lose in part for looking like a dork in a tank?
I have a feeling, these events were just things the media could use to manipulate the narrative on the Democratic candidate, otherwise would’ve been ignored.
Let’s be clear about what this is,
this is the executive branch refusing to put checks on a clearly corrupt and dysfunctional judicial branch. The stability of our 3 branch system depends on the branches being willing and able to check each other. If one branch yields to another, the system fails.
