Tattoos suck. A lot of my friends in college got them, and every single one of them regrets it 10 years later (although a few like to pretend otherwise).

I’m occasionally tempted to get them, but then think about it for more than five seconds and realize that any idea I’d have for one would seem like a bad idea very soon afterwards. It helps when they’re basically quoting the vast majority of the country verbatim.

It's not even that hard, just expensive. Immediately start building nuclear, wind, and solar plants and shutting down coal plants ASAP. It's a solved problem, we just need to loving execute on the solution. E: Also, even as expensive as this plan is, it's still a dozen orders of magnitude cheaper than the wars that will be fought over immigration as people are forced to move out of now inhospitable climates.

Wars make money for rich people so that's cool. Watching all the "serious" people talk about how the only reasonable thing is to do nothing that will inconvenience a handful of executives is incredibly terrifying since they are willing to value a few new cars over knowing their children suffer. "Serious" politics has always been code for "gently caress you the elite need new ivory backscratchers" but with this incoming disaster it's even more clear. I hope AOC doesn't stop holding these assholes to the fire despite how many idiots cry about "disunity" or her lack or respect for her greedy elders.

I think we need to be precise here and recognize that wars, for this country, don't just make money for rich people, but for (disturbingly) significant slices of the American public. I'm not trying to deflect off of capital here, but if we are to even start approaching the real issue underlying this all we have to admit that DoD activity, especially on the procurement side spreads a lot of money around to locales that would otherwise have only modest economic activity going on otherwise. Like, if we were to scale back any of it in a meaningful way you'd have entire regions of entire states decimated in the process. That's where we're at. That's where this capitalist setup has brought us. Legions of people doing work for doing work's sake with the explicit purpose of creating products and services that are employed to literally incinerate human beings miles away. That is where we're at.

nine-gear crow posted:They popped the cherry with "shithole countries", so we're well on the other side of that event horizon. The reason event horizons are called event horizons is because no information will ever reach the other side. There is no way to see through it, there is no way to know anything about the other side. We haven't crossed the shithole event horizon. We were already there.

Those people could be moved to different industries since we basically finance the entire MIC and related private contractors anyway. It's the guys at the top that are being protected. Everything else is ancillary.

Ytlaya posted:This is a good post, and basically the reason why I think it's extremely lovely when people get all irritated and condescending towards the left about what are essentially basic justice and human rights issues. It's the sort of situation where, even if those things aren't likely to happen in the near future, it's completely ridiculous to mock or betlittle someone demanding them and doesn't reflect well on the person doing so. I frequently draw an analogy to someone advocating for some other historical issue like civil rights* or women's suffrage, because it sheds light on how tone-deaf and inappropriate it is to tut-tut someone demanding those things (and, in my opinion, reveals that the person in question simply doesn't view contemporary justice issues as being as serious and important as they are). I think what leads to a lot of the pushback on 'dems bad' chat is that a lot of progressives (and especially, in my experience, progressives who are working and volunteering politically as part of a candidate's team or a GOTY effort or involved in political activism) are rightfully dispirited or annoyed when they watch online discussions act as painfully cyclical, repetitive reminders of how left wing coalitions draw out every possible chronic infighting vulnerability we have in direct contrast to the structured behavioral advantages that right wing voters and politicians possess. Those right wing voters will primary to the right, they'll invest in their pet beliefs, they'll cotton to the hardliners, and always at the end of the day the vast vast majority will fall in line with whoever won the race to the primary torch, and I think many of us hate the inbuilt electoral advantages of the authoritarian mindsets enough without having to wade through x pages of leftists versus liberals and literally hundreds of posts seemingly stuck wallowing on things like this strangely right-seeded Pelosi torpor. For my part, I just tend to find it boring, in the most straightforward sense. It does not interest me much anymore. I already get enough 'dems bad' from the right wing. I also have a significant degree of annoyance towards it because I already have to spend enough of my life watching left wing movements I have/had spent my time and effort on do this until they ultimately schism down to the micro level over disagreements about whose Dems Bad take/policy is more woke, and this probably biases me a bit more towards boredom/annoyance at long sprees of dems bad arguments stretching out the pages before something new or possibly encouraging comes up about the political and social fight against conservatives and regressives. Beyond my own particular baggage, though, it's a ratios and repetition of theme issue. This thread has already started to feel overtly ground down by it. I know why the pre-election crutch quarantine of dems bad chat absolutely had to end and agree with it overall, but yikes it's been a drag. I read a thread like this and start thinking "at this rate, it's only a matter of time before AOC is accused of being not left enough and we must spend pages to hear about her foul collaboration with Centrists" and then catching myself thinking that this is just me being unfair at a group of posters I'm wide-brushing, ... and then thinking: no, not really unfair, I'm worried about that because that will actually happen.

I would not be surprised to see the US pulling out of the Paris accord referred to as the trigger for WW3. It's gonna be really bad in ways we can't even imagine. It is somewhat relieving to hear a congress person (AOC) who actually seems to be taking this a tiny bit seriously. I just hope it's not too little, too late.

Oh, it’s already too late. We’re pretty much hosed at this point and we’re going to suffer from some p serious changes to the earth because we ignored climate change for too long. The question is, how hosed do we want to be? If we work hard now, the future might just be terrible, and not hell on earth or extinction of humanity
