Does dissuading fascists from voting actually help? The more important part is convincing proles that voting is immaterial and they need to do other stuff to effect change. Whoever and however anyone votes, fascists will get into power.
Not debunked, but it's all theoretical and controversial, as I say nobody really knows. Many still reasonably suggest there'd be mass extinctions from a "minor" nuclear war. Some disagree.
Basically everyone agrees there'd be some form of globally damaging fallout. Whatever the case, I'm not that eager to find out, personally.
We're not fully sure of the number, but somewhere between 3 and 20 modern day nukes will be enough to start a global winter where everyone dies anyway. If any kind of nuclear war starts out, even a teeny tiny one, most-to-all of humanity is fucked.
Real life.
Is not.
A fucking.
Trolley problem.
You are actually allowed to break the car and turn off the power.
Or more to the point, this could never have happened, because the workers wouldn't be staying there under threat of poverty.
The world is not a fucking trolley problem, there are infinite alternative options to actually stop the murder. And unless you're actively involved in organising to do so, you have no right to talk about voting to improve the system.
Sorry to disappoint, but in all my time here, I've never seen jellied eel. It's not a thing anymore, alas.
they’re less like the meeting room of a communist party than like the bar where those communists hang out and drink beer, after the meeting is over.
I actually really like this description. I'm amazed at the number of people in this thread who actually somewhat get it. It's heartening <3
A bit late to be honest, she made the connection years ago and frequently calls out the west as having a racist, oppressive system of capitalism which must be overthrown to solve climate change.
She said: “We are never going back to normal again because ‘normal’ was already a crisis. What we refer to as normal is an extreme system built on the exploitation of people and the planet.
“It is a system defined by colonialism, imperialism, oppression and genocide by the so-called global North to accumulate wealth that still shapes our current world order.”
I mean she basically said it word for word over two years ago.
US is being seriously outcompeted at its own game by China, and this is it slowly imploding in response. Genuinely think we're on the steep slope of decline of US economic hegemony.
Yeah. Any AI worth it's salt is just going to address climate change by pointing out the blinking obvious solutions already present and well-known.
