got any sevens posted:it sure is a good thing cavemen waited to climb down from the trees until they invented the tractor It sure is a good thing there were 7 billion cavemen all able to sustain themselves by hunting and gathering Like, did you not read my first post on the subject? If we stop farming billions of people will die by starvation because that's the only reason we have enough food to feed all these people Global warming will kill a lot of people but anarcho-primitivism might actually kill more In the aforementioned Talking Heads song, they have something for dinner because they caught a rattlesnake do you think there are enough rattlesnakes on Earth to feed all the humans once we stop growing potatoes

The midterms will probably determine the tone of 2020 but if 2020 is run on Russia it's going to signal imo a doubling down of the right wing dems going even further right. Like unironically saying "Reagan was a centrist" right. Also regarding the anarcho-primitivist thing last page: Earth had a population of something like 60 million when our ancestors were all hunter gatherers. Even pre-modern agriculture worldwide had a carrying capacity of something like half a billion at best.

It'd be even lower if we switched back now, because (a) we've already decimated a lot of wildlife habitat, and (b) in the process of failing to avoid starving to death, the 7 billion people already on Earth would basically strip all that's left completely clean of edible matter before resorting to cannibalism

The thing people never tell you about the Great Leap Forward is that China had mass starvations nearly every generation because of their feudalism farming, and they haven't had that issue since.

it's hard to tell who's objecting to what because this is a tweet of a screenshot of a retweet of a tweet of a screenshot of an article but I think the people being told to bend the knee are centrists and I have no idea how Marcus H. Johnson jumped from there to racism except that he really really wanted to especially since "you must bend the knee" is what the left has been told for decades

quote:In another era, such an assault might’ve proven fatal. Fortunately, social media gave Corbyn’s supporters a powerful weapon. Banished from the public sphere, they built one of their own. They didn’t merely use social media – judging by the number of tweets and Facebook engagements, they dominated it. Pro-Labour memes, slogans, videos and articles saturated online networks. Some were funny, such as a viral video of Corbyn extemporaneously eating a Pringle. Others were serious, drawing on independent leftwing outlets such as Novara Media to advance an analysis of austerity’s corrosive effects on British society. Together they made millions of people feel connected to a common project. They made Corbynism feel like a community. quote:After all, social media’s defining trait is its capacity to connect like-minded people. It follows that the communities it creates vary widely by the kind of people being connected. Wow, CC it's like I told you months and months ago We need to tap into the people who don't vote: quote:The prospects for turnout-driven victories are even greater in the US, where political alienation is particularly pronounced. Only 55.7% of the voting-age population cast ballots in the last presidential election. Given these numbers, the model of an electorate split down the middle, locked into their irreconcilable Facebook feeds, is misleading. You can’t have a country divided in half when half the country doesn’t vote.

Feldegast42 posted:Ossoff losing was good and showed the Panera strategy for what it was Thing is is that the same mindset experts that heralded shifting to the right to tap into some mythical pool of six figure earners that just waiting for slightly smaller tax cuts and being a little less racist still are claiming that's the One True Path. The core of the problem, and the reason they desperately cling to this strategy is this is who the Democrats want to be. The acceptable bigots. The woke oligarchs. The compassionate fascists. They want to continue funneling money up towards the rich while the rest of the country rots but do it slower and be nicer about it. They want to shave off enough of the Republican base so that they don't have to even pay lip service to helping minorities or the poor ever again. No amount of reality will push them away from this because this is who they want to be. I just wish I knew what to do about it.
