I have long since written myself off as likely dying in a fight over resources (food, clean water, medicine) with some yokel who still wouldn’t believe in climate change. And people act confused when I say I have no motivation at work or hope for the future. Wild shit.

I support vegans environmentally just on principle, but it’s just way too much effort to examine everything that I eat for whatever animal products. I greatly reduce my meat consumption though, especially red meat. I’m just to fucking tired and depressed to put forth the energy necessary to be strictly vegan or even vegetarian.

Whole industries in the USA are down almost exclusively by exploited illegal labor.

Ok. Fair. Let me correct myself: money was based on material goods and not rich peoples feefees about the economy.

That’s only true when you are dealing with the infinite growth of capitalism. Nations and empires have used the gold standard for thousands of years. It only became “impossible” when we tried to inflate the value of economies into the stratosphere to enrich the aristocrats of society.

It’s not about what the people use the AI for, you incompetent prick. Who owns the AI? They make money from it providing a service to people. That service is stealing the abilities of real people who no longer get paid for their services.

A child could understand this but as I said you will never even try to because you simply don’t give a shit about anyone or anything but your own enjoyment.

Fair points. I just really hate the state monopoly on violence that they love to use almost exclusively on leftwing protests. If other such protesters were arrested as well, it would be less grating on my morals.

I think it’s the fact that they are arrested and very rarely actually charged with a crime, which essentially amounts to state sanctioned kidnapping.

But otherwise I do agree with you.

Can you elaborate on why this would be destabilizing? I mean obviously the president dying is bad, but are there specific groups that are in positions to do anything to cause problems due to this? Wouldn’t there be someone under him in the chain of command or another election that could be held?

I do not know very much about Iran’s internal politics beyond a basic synopsis, I’m just looking for some info.

You fucking moron, they aren’t using that art for financial gain. That’s the fucking difference. You will never listen to any actual grievances though because you don’t care who or what it harms, only that you get cool new gadgets. Eat shit you cunt bag.

Because it can only do that through theft of intellectual property. Also, just because you like using something that will obviously and quickly be used to tighten the shackles around your ankles, doesn’t mean that others have to enjoy their chains or lick boots.

I wasn’t reducing anyone and I don’t think the person you were responding to was either. Some people have a harder time focusing on many things at once than others. In the same way that many many people have no internal voice in their head with which they think, people’s brains work differently. It’s just a fact. Some are more efficient at parsing large quantities of varied data than others. That is also a fact. I’m not trying to devalue those who cannot do that, but it would be immature and irresponsible to not consider that when looking for the causes of miscommunication or misunderstandings about how society actually functions just because you think it might hurt someone’s feelings if they were told that about themselves.

To be quite honest, prioritizing climate change is the responsible and rational thing to do because if we fuck that up, literally nothing else we have done will have any meaning, whatsoever.

It’s not his fault that there is a significant portion of the planet that is, in fact, quite dumb. It doesn’t make them worth less as humans, but it is something that needs to be considered.

I rabidly disagree that there is any more important topic than climate change. If you have read the actual studies and data about it, you would agree with me. If it is not addressed in a timely manner (read: a decade ago, but better late than never) there will be billions dead WITHIN YOUR LIFETIME.

Wow. Your video made me want to guillotine EVEN HARDER. It’s almost like the same shit happens in every revolution. But you know what, I’ll take my chances once I know the ones who are actively raping the planet are gone.

They have plenty of blame. And Biden has recently pushed back MILDLY on Congress. But the whole situation in our gov is fucked.

Maybe not send another BILLION dollars…? I know that’s an insane thing to even consider but that’s what I would recommend.

Are you braindead?

The best thing you can do to help the climate? Kill a billionaire.

Best legal thing? Idk… Vote I guess?

It’s certainly interesting, but I feel mostly sad thinking that it’s just BAU for everyone, even when everything is dying. Such a great example of it.

So it’s better to victim blame then? Got it.
