Don’t have to own em, just have to get the people paid to operate them on the right side

They got apparently

What the fuck are you talking about. In academic history, it’s widely understood things don’t just appear out of thin air and the defining event of when nearly any conflict ‘starts’ is a very ideologically motivated choice. It’s exactly what you’re doing now and what Zionists do with the current genocide in Palestine

Care to explain why the west refused to crush the Nazis with Stalin before the molotov ribbentrop pact, why you’re ignoring the fact the Soviets are the only reason Nazism was defeated when it was due to their immense sacrifices on the eastern front, or why you don’t bring up the blatant apologia for Nazis in the West (operation paperclip or Canada calling Nazis “victims of communism”)

Oh, it’s because you’re a liberal

Ew a liberal

Yup, just jumping to the obvious end goal without talking about the hard part of getting there.

To solve climate change, we simply must stop consuming fossil fuels. Easy as /s

And that isn’t going to be voted into existence

Sounds like there needs to be an active, maybe kinetic, effort to maintain the peace

You’re not going to change my mind, and it feels like I’m playing into your votescolding fetish which I did not consent to. Good night and good luck washing the stains of genocide from your soul

Ah yes, vote them out by voting for what candidates? People that use the same rhetoric you’re using also deploy it in “electability pragmatism” during primaries to cull any further left candidates because it “will alienate moderates” in generals. Then you do this stupid shit of eating a turd sandwich and saying next time you’re definitely going to get what you ordered without doing anything different. And that’s all assuming any alternatives aren’t immediately torpedoed by incredible spending differences due to corporate and party backing

Maybe if any of you harm reducing fools grew a backbone and had some principles on who you’ll vote for we wouldn’t have to think about when that will happen in the US. Watching the Dems slide further and further right while saying they’re better than Republicans is not helping anyone, especially future Americans

Only one of the 2 party systems will allow this in our future at the moment

The Dems sued to remove the PSL from the ballot in my state

This is a masterclass I’d pay for

Technically he’s right just in the bad contractions of capitalism way. Just like when excess food was burned during the depression, shifting coastlines would create completely new real estate speculation opportunities and new displaced buyers

's brilliant plan for reaching Mars

Care to explain how calling a person of Asian ancestry Pooh Bear isn’t incredibly racist?

China should run port blockade

Pretty much what the researcher I was speaking with told me, the US is an entire generation of engineers behind China as it stands

Just as a glimpse into the American side, because we’ve created import bans on Chinese chip making components recently but previously offshored anything and everything to save a dime, public universities are unable to do significant research on developing PV cells because the only source for some niche aspects of the process are only made in China now.

As an added note, there is an incredible amount of concern about IP because ‘China will steal it’ and badmouthing of the Chinese government for, checks notes, subsiding R&D for PV cells and storage technology at a rate that massively outclips Biden’s flimsy recent CHIPS Act (which still hasn’t started distributing funds yet)

I hold no love for JFK, but it is admirable he was hoping to conduct joint missions with the USSR to the moon. For something as catastrophic as climate catastrophe, you’d think we’d all want to cooperate on creating the most efficient harvesting and storage technology as possible, but no, or proooofiittsss and IPPPPPPPP.

It’s things like this that make any alien movie or otherwise that shows humanity uniting for the continuation of the species laughable. The US would use it as an opportunity to nuke China then see if they could sell the aliens some oil.
