  • Weird that people insist climate change isn't changing the world. Or at least not in a way that matters?

    If we can't say that our actions are making the world better or worse, then there really is no need to be involved in politics.

  • Are both sides ignorant of the history behind climate change?

  • A way of life is ending, but life will go on. Frankly I'm rooting for gas to be more expensive.

  • Love it. A principled approach that centers the conversation around behavior, not anti-corporate rhetoric (which I am certainly guilty of appealing to at times). I love this community and it's many displays of Non-Violent Communication.

  • Love it. Often I'll frame "better" in terms of individualism. Licking a boot as an individual is better than bargaining as a group I guess 🤷

  • It's important for us to explain to our nation that life is important. It's not only life of babies, but it's life of children living in, you know, the dark dungeons of the Internet.

    • George
  • This. Another Jan 6th is the best we can hope for at this point. If Trump wins, it will be much worse than the first time. If he loses, but wins the coupe, then we get a civil war. I don't like how 2 of the 3 options are a national shit show as opposed to a failed insurrection (best scenario at this point).

  • No, I believe that violence, if employed, should be collective and carried with a strategic intention. Anything less is reactionary and invites defeat.

  • Being pro-Open source is to be against the specialization of labor? That's probably not what you mean, but I don't get how having the option to participate negates specialized labor.

  • It does cover how larger industry would be coordinated, it is not advocating for communes. Feel like we're reading two different things...

  • if you don’t believe that the ultimate power in any market is consumer choice

    Because I believe in open source where I'm not a consumer, but a participant in it's creation. The ultimate power in the market isn't consumer choice, it's the choice over what gets made and who gets paid.

  • Well to be fair, he didn't say which side would be committing the violence. One analysis of the civil rights movement is that is was successful because it provoked violence by the oppressors while cameras were present.

  • They said nothing about the violence being random. If anything, it would take some planning.

  • Trustfunds? You think every success is a Rockefeller or something? Just ask as family member for a million dollar loan to start a business, that's how all the modern greats have done it. (/s plz don't hurt me)

  • Wait, instead of metaphor you meant a literal example? Absurd indeed to compare rape to downloading something illegally.

  • Yes, that's the definition of a service. Just not sure what your point is about talking about prostitutes as if one was steeling a service when they get raped. Steeling from creatives is rape or something?

  • Ever been to a potluck or gotten a free meal at a church? I'm with ya that I still think we need industrial level AG, just I think we could do better if it wasn't all driven for-profit.
