  • The political class...how incredibly short sighted. Yes of course you should be furious at the political class, but you should be more angry at the ruling class of capitalists that control the political class. Shell oil invented climate science, they predicted all of this back in the late 70s, and then they knowingly covered it up. They invented climate science and then they invented climate change denial.

    The ruling capitalist class can't change course, and they can't run society any longer. The profit motive is no way to organize society, that should be abundantly clear to anyone with eyes. Yes the political class who covered for companies committing environmental destruction should pay, as well as the ineffectual political class who played nice and told you to vote all these years so they could fundraise off of these issues.

    There needs to be a new political class composed of us, the working class, who can combat these careerists and grifters directly by seizing control of the factories and forging a new rational system that can meet peoples needs and launch human society into the future, not keep it mired in the old incentives and systems that destroy it.

    We can't vote our way out of this, by no possible metric is it possible. We need new forms of democracy and political engagement. For decades they told us if you recycled you could fix this. They were lying. Noone is coming to save us we have to save ourselves, but together as one. Please.

  • I'm a constitutional originalist so I believe that the first amendment was intended by the Founding Fathers™ to protect jet ski dealership owners from repercussions against calling a middle schooler the n-word, not so that filthy godless heathens such as women can have democratic "rights."

  • I've lived here voluntarily for 26 years so I feel like I've earned the right to complain about it, nothing feels so good to gripe about as something I love. But yeah fuck Ohio, this place is nuts

  • Don't think I know any furries, though I think I've met a few. I'm probably too old, but that's alright. Never been to a furry party, but if I knew any I would invite them to my parties. I don't get the stigma, seems like other people are too insecure in their own identity to accept people experimenting, or settling on an unconventional one. Even when I first heard about it that there were people supposedly having sex while wearing cartoonish animal costumes (which yeah I'm sure it happens, people will at least try to sexualize anything that they like) I realized that the media always sexualizes "new" lifestyles -- its one of the most tried and true ways to make people decide that a lifestyle is weird is to make of seem like it is only a sexual fetish.

    90% of CEOs identify with wolves and sharks and lions, when they do it you're supposed to buy their book called "The Lion's Share," and kiss their ass about it. But if some non neuro typical queer kid does it, its some kind of cultural nightmare scenario. Really reveals the root of the stigma IMO.

    They seem nice and I bet their fursonas are soft and comfy, if maybe a little hot inside the suit. Sorry if any of this seems insensitive, I don't mean it that way. Except toward CEOs, I mean that to be insensitive, if anything I should be more insensitive toward them.

  • He has been for a while, if you could see the way the farms near me have all been demolished in order to build server farms, empty industrial parks and half of an Intel plant which I understand they may no longer have the capital to finish, you'd understand why.

    I think the second largest owner of farmland is that young woman streamer who sold her bathwater

  • As someone who has read those 5 books, and the next 5, and the next 5 and so on, those people never go away. There's always 5 more books. I still recommend those books but in my experience they're almost always in-group signalling and not coming up with a new synthesis of the material as understood through their own unique experiences as a worker. Actually those people will be the first to tell you that experience doesn't matter its actually their experience reading books that matters. If you haven't read them and agree, then that's fine; if you have read them and disagree then you haven't read them good enough, or read these other books for the appropriate context.

    "The traditions of dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the minds of the living." is as true for the left as it is any other tradition.
