WARNING! INTRUDERS DETECTED

These oafs and ghouls who praise the uplifting qualities of work while themselves living a white-collar life in the lap of luxury really tick me off. What the gently caress is human existence about if not hedonistic and cultural and intellectual pursuits? What the gently caress is the value in drudgery? What is so noble and virtuous about sitting at the cash register at Alepa or selling natural remedies to people on the phone? Just admit that you are trying to persuade people into accepting their misery as a virtue because you will extract all the benefits from that misery.

This government is weird. I don't really believe they'll do any massive positive change and I'm sure they'll do stupid things, but it's not the constant barrage of FUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOU I'm used to.

For me the barrage of FUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOU is getting re-targeted at the media and especially the newspapers, who at this rate will be just as bad as the British press is when it comes to mainstream left-wing parties and their leadership.

The government is also incredibly hobbled by having to have kepu in the coalition, but the counter-factual of a cock coalition is probably even worse as far as outcomes go. Doing anything about carbon while burning all that peat on taxpayer subsidies is hopeless and kepu is trying to square the circle of not seeming as hating-the-poor as under Sipilä while simultaneously not rolling back all the kepu achievements of the past coalition like kiky and aktiivimalli.

This whole employment target thing by 2023 is a ridiculous straitjacket on sane policy and we would not have it without neoliberal balanced budget rhetoric and kepu using it as leverage within the coalition to have their way.

What frustrates me the most with the current government is the lack of communication. The government parties lack coordination, it's hard to know what exactly is going to happen until the very last minute. The changes are good so far, but I fear the regular voter will get the picture the government is just spinning in place doing nothing. It also doesn't help that Antti Rinne hasn't stopped being a bumbling fool, like when he was tricked by the French to be their mouthpiece of their grievances with Britain.

WARNING! INTRUDERS DETECTED

Rinne has said a lot of frogs, but that one is one that I specifically feel like has been wildly exaggerated by the press. For one, no one outside of Finland cares about this thing. For two, since Article 50 extensions require unanimity from all member states, France and Finland are fully entitled to lay out that they want to see something concrete by a given time limit before October 31st or before the October summit. The only thing that seems to be sticking into anyone's craw is that the EU has striven to maintain a united front against the UK, but the focus there has been to stop the UK from leveraging individual member states to ease off the pressure, not increase it. And the Macron-Rinne statement prompted the UK Brexit Secretary to say that oh, actually, we need a whole year to figure out alternative arrangements for the backstop, which exposed them as the charlatans they are.

Basically, if Petteri Orpo had done this with Macron, he'd be lauded as an able statesman who was finally laying down the law for the unruly Brits and forming a strategic friendship with a major EU member state.

On the other hand, Rinne's dealing of the Posti fracas has been woeful and he should have just let Paatero do all the talking. One-time payouts to compensate for massive wage cuts? Using postal workers as part of the sote solution?

Anyone with problems about the brexit thing doesn't really understand the situation. The UK parliament is completely splintered in a fashion that prevents any kind of a brexit deal being approved before an election whatsoever. The only short term solution that will stop the UK hermorrhaging companies and capital is a hard brexit as soon as possible. After that negotiations can begin. I mean I'm not a fan of Boris or anything, but the parliament's insistence on extending the departure to the moon is not viable in any fashion. The UK is already hosed, sure, but it'll just get worse and worse the longer this goes.

I said it before and I'll say it again, if your strike is asks for permission it is not a real strike. If you students feel so strongly about this how about you strike for a week and don't ask permission.

School strikes can never be real strikes, that's why permission can be granted in the first place. Children can be expected to start out confused and playing at collective political activism is probably a good thing in any case, like hopefully they'll have become smarter at fighting the power as young adults than students of earlier generations were.

Producing a more convincing veneer of radicalism for an action that has only the most minimal disruptive content might be worse for dispelling confusion.

Britannian parlamentti voi perua sen Artikla 50:n yksipuolisesti, mutta jos haluavat lähteä sopimuksen kanssa niin tarvitaan kaikkien EU maiden hyväksyntä ja sen voisi kaataa Puola tai Unkari. Samoin mahdollisissa Brexitin jälkeisissä neuvotteluissa voisi heittää kapuloita rattaisiin kuka vaan.

Call me old fashioned, but in the end studying hard is a better strategy for fighting anthropogenic climate change than striking hard. I'm not saying that the climate strike movement is bad, but not every kid has to go full Greta Thunsberg to achieve what is to be gained from it.

On a very positive note, Thomas Cook's bankruptcy is going to disrupt the least useful industry of them all. Destroy all runways.

We've got roughly thirty years. Fifty, if we put enough resources into sequestering carbon.

Problem being that we need an economic system that doesn't punish you for the environmentally friendly choices. That may take some work and time.

By we you mean the world in general. The reason most long scope IT firms are pushing capital into Finland is that we're actually not going to collapse. I mean a lot of places are hosed as it is. The good part is that global economy is slowly coming to the same realization. Global commercial institutions have better feelers for what's happening than most countries, and they understand they can't make profits off a dead world. I just hope they make the necessary adjustments soon enough, because the loving countries sure won't.

The fifty years is for a complete collapse of the western economic market I think. It's more like 20 for mass migrations to begin, and massive unrest in the undeveloped world.

e: Also so I'm not being ambiguous here. Both of those things are almost a certainty at this point. It's more just what comes after that's what at stake at this point.

The timeframe is "collapse to the point where we have to choose between food now and restoring the environment for later".

Isolated regions of the global south are already hosed over by extreme weather and that'll only keep getting worse, but we're now at the stage where we need to actively compensate against global warming to slow it down. We're past preventing or stopping it, but not beyond building a new world that can survive what has been done. Sequestering carbon, be it by reforestation or burying it, will still make a massive difference.
