The US just cancelled a major helicopter project because drones do the job cheaper

The problem is the lack of bodies to make rich people richer

I think that's it. They both come from places of great privilege inside of a very privileged country

There will be peace because one side isn't going to exist in a few years. Israel is definitely moving into the west bank after they're done with Gaza.

In a conversation about the situation with two people I care about, they both felt the need to say 'the situation is complicated '

I'm struggling with that. What's complicated about standing up against genocide?

Seems reasonable

Pick an issue. Literally any issue. Canada isn't on the morally right side (with the exception of supporting Ukraine's war for freedom).
People are fine. Landscape is amazing. Government at all levels needs to be gone. We'd be better off with actual criminal mobs running everything. They'd at least be competent

I wish I had good candidates and could bike to work. You're pretty lucky

I can remember exactly what was said. The weather. The general feeling of the conversation, but the date it happened? There'll be a couple month long window, and sometimes I'm wrong about that

I appreciate that.
The internet in general is pretty negative. Something you said earlier reminded me of a quote that stuck with me. I can't remember who said it but 'the future is built on the present. What are you building today?'
It's easy to complain, it's probably my favorite hobby, but what can we do to smash capitalism? Personally, I think it's co-ops. Worker co-ops. Housing co-ops. Service co-ops. Let's shed our corporate overlords and build something for eachother.
What are you doing? What do you think we should be moving towards?

There's been a push for this in a lot of the media I consume. Usually they push the solar punk aesthetic as something to work towards.

Last year I started a worker co-op that works at assisting not for profit housing. I pay my bills, but I'm the only one working full-time so far. I've also been working on having perennial plant food growing in my neighborhood. I've planted fruit trees and other varieties of fruits and vegetables that grow without much care.

What do you do?

Ok. So imagine a world that progressed technologically like we did until the 70s, but it's some kind of decentralized communism focusing on democracy at work. (Business is worker owned and operated)
In the 70s, do they still suppress the science of climate change?

I can't say for sure, but it seems far less likely to me. Thoughts?

You agree this is an extinction level event? You agree capitalism is largely at fault?

Total victory sounds an awful lot like the final solution

It's a classic shoot the messenger logical fallacy. Except in this case it's got a bit of guilt by association.

I have zero idea why people are using this bias fact check. As if the center area of that graph isn't also an ideological stance

You're right, but Israel is experiencing a boy who cried wolf scenario. They just aren't trustworthy for anything

In the early 00s there were a lot of reports in alternative media about Israelis eating babies.
This seems like an extension of that.

Israel should be abolished, but we don't need to make up things to make that argument

Apparently you're practically correct. Fresh olives are very bitter, so most people don't like them.
The more you know

I vaguely remember noticing the fruit of the loom logo change which makes it weirder for me
