(as studies suggest we should do, that were done by experts who have more knowledge in the subject than you or any of us ever will.)

actually to be fair the study in question seems to have reached two conclusions, 1) "there is a correlation but we require more information to discover why" and 2) "it almost certainly has to do with accessibility to guns"

I think the Emergencies Act is the capitalist state taking advantage of this opportunity to create a precedent that will gently caress the left in the future. You can see this in the statement by Freeland. She's not just "using" an existing act. She's broadening its scope.

I feel like very little genuine sympathy is actually being put out there for the actually existing Ukrainian people. I'm kinda reminded of Thomas King's distinction between "dead Indians" and "live Indians." Dead Indians, as a cultural type easily categorized for the benefit of the majority, are beloved while the actually existing human beings are either ignored or reviled. Right now there's a fondness for the idea of suffering Ukrainians, but little (institutionally) being done to help the actually existing people. And if the actually existing people were to make serious material demands, that love would evaporate quickly.

I mean, just look at how many people are fantasizing about idiotic war scenarios that would see countless actually existing Ukrainians killed. The sympathy is for the idea, not the actual people.

That sounds like whataboutist tankie talk!

We've already lost, right? No point in even making an effort.

The kind of social and governmental reforms we need to accomplish meaningful change would require staunch and immediate education on all relevant topics so that by the time that generation of people become the voting majority they could be trusted to actually support the necessary means and measures.

Even if convincing the current global populace of such were possible at perfect efficiency, it would still take longer than we have. We pretty much are actually hosed.

a new study found half of American adults have lead levels in their bodies high enough to cause developmental problems. The problem is that our existing economic system is extremely cavalier with our regulation of all pollutants that cause harm to human beings and other animals, not anything specific to nuclear waste in particular.

Anecdote but, the government of city I live in in Ontario concluded relatively recently that they "don't know" what percentage of the pipes in our water system are straight up just made of lead, and when asked if the government had any plans of further identifying and/or possibly replacing them for obvious reasons, they responded with "that would cost a lot of money so probably not."

Saying "I fully expect X to happen" does not mean "I endorse X happening" and you lot keep saying it does which is part of why Rime gets such a bad rap.

Rime posted:

If only it had a mortality rate of 20-30% and spread a little faster, this virus would have been the best thing to happen to the planet in a century.

Edit: To be clear, there's a lot to say about Rime's eco-doomerism largely being correct, and I definitely think that it's possible that people view those posts through a lens of increased discomfort because of the accuracy and validity of the disastrous ecological realities that we live in that he readily describes. I just think it's possible to talk about those things without subtly suggesting that lots of people of specific ethnic groups are less valuable than others and should probably die, as has been the case several times.

You again see accepting an inevitability as endorsing it.

Saying "it would have been good if a lot of people died" is, in fact, endorsing the idea of a lot of people dying. This is not complicated.

Ya but it's endorsing death without singling out a specific creed or culture.

There are several other posts where, both explicitly and contextually, he's referring to specific groups of people, often delineated along ethnic lines. Again, the people who have read these posts are capable of remembering them, and even if you're a person with a severely atrophied hippocampus, you can just go back to his rap sheet and read several of the posts that he's been probed/banned for.
