When I ate eggs I used to do a savory breakfast bowl both farro. It’s still good as a vegan dish, but nothing replaces a fried egg that well

Care to explain how calling a person of Asian ancestry Pooh Bear isn’t incredibly racist?

So Cuba should dissolve a government widely approved of by the people and return to client state gang run institutions for the ability to receive food? You’re a fucking idiot. Calling people sith lords, please learn to engage in world politics by using meaningful vocabulary instead of trying to equate everything to your favorite work of fiction

China should run port blockade

Oh look, a bad take from a programming.dev poster

There’s certainly a reason hardcore activists in the environmentalist and animal rights movements were targeted so heavily. I’m partial to the belief that it’s something way too many people might empathize with or even worse, copy. It’s also a pipeline into real leftism and anti-capitalism that can’t be countered with muh 100 gorgiollion dead from cummunism

I’m conflicted, as I do believe that action for the sake of the climate is morally correct, but that these actions aren’t accomplishing much of anything at this point.

Andreas Malm has done a few talks about XR, Just Stop Oil, or Insulate Brittain vs groups like Tyre Extinguishers, Ende Gelända, or Les Soulèvements de la Terre: his conclusion is that the former groups have done some amount of good with consciousness raising but at this point those who are going to be moved or sympathetic have been ‘activated’ and further nuisance activities alone will not advance the cause further and could instead harden people against the movement because it is action that is seemingly targeting ‘regular people’ and not the ones responsible for the situation we are in. He commends the groups for targeting banks and other institutions but doesn’t believe actions like blocking roads for the sake of doing so (obstruction of access to specific targets is another story) or throwing powder on a game advance the cause.

He goes on to say that arrests should never been seen as some kind of virtuous thing and instead should be seen as failures because it is taking people out of the movement and making their further contributions more difficult and potentially dangerous for their continued freedom.

I generally defend blocking roads as an act of protest, but I also understand the idea that there needs to be further escalation targeting the actual polluters because you will never turn all of the western public to your side.

Here are a couple of the talks I’m referring to, interesting to listen to the perspectives:

Panel discussion on potential future of the movement

Individual talk about where we stand today

Liquid Thorium Salt Small Modular Reactors address a lot of concerns.

By the name, they are smaller and modular which allows for a scalable solution to building which will address time and cost of construction. Thorium is not dangerously radioactive until it is being turned into fissile material inside the reactor and then the waste can be run inside it under specific ‘recipes’ to fully consume it which addresses another big issue.

Unfortunately it does create some problems surrounding proliferation, but at this point we’re all dead anyways, so I’m inclined to say fuck it, who cares. Proliferation concerns themselves seem like advanced powers pulling the ladder up and saying they get to be kings of the world and everyone else must be their subjects aside from the handful of MAD capable states.

Agreed there, vanity is really the only reason Trump got into all this in my eyes

Oh yeah I still think it’s a coin flip if he’s president in a year and change, don’t get me wrong, I just think Bush was able to accomplish all Trump did and much more with even less consequence

Say what you will, but that’s stupid to me.

He has the bag and then suffers consequences for apparently no gain besides saying what hogs want to hear whereas Bush also cut taxes, literally stole 2 elections, and lied the US into trillion dollar wars with no consequence and is seen as a painter now who makes Masterclasses

Well if you have to have 28 of them…

I think the DNC votes for it, not sure to be honest. vs vs showdown with possible special guests pritzger and newsom

It literally is, too many states have passed primary registration deadlines. Only option would be something happening at the DNC, which,

There’s an even older one
