Arguing for everyone to go out and scrap their current car just to buy a new one isn’t going to do anything for emissions.

Literally no one said that everyone should get a new car.

The commenter above is claiming that we’re all going to die if we can’t all go buy a new Chinese EV for $10k

No they’re saying market fairness doesn’t matter if you end up dead from climate change. Like the roughly 250,000 people a year who’s deaths can be attributed to it. Climate change is already on track to kill us, we need to actively stop it, no one thinks not being able to buy a Chinese car is going to kill them. It’s the thing that’s already killing them that we want to stop. A cheaper EV gives those who would otherwise be buying another ICE car a better option. They shouldn’t have to wait for arbitrary reasons to be able to make greener choices.

Tell it to who said it. I just think it better than offing yourself.

No party has held the white house with consecutive different nominees in a long time. Meaning to say even if Biden gets 8 years the Dems will likely lose the election after that to either Trump again or a smarter quieter fascist. Thats a trend that I dont think has been bucked since HW Bush came after Reagan. Last time we had two Dems back to back was JFK into Lyndon Johnson. It’s literally just a matter of time and how a small handful of swing states feel about current events before we’re stuck with one again.

They dont know anyone being genocided personally. But losing elections, well that could happen to them personally. Sick fucks far too removed from the people they lord over to feel anything a human being may describe as compassion.

If the alternative is suicide then I’d argue it is productive.

Yeah this whole conspiracy line has gotta be based on a movie making fun of NASCAR drivers. You don’t make that phrase with that verbiage without that movie. I’m not sure the guy who said it knows it’s from a movie or not, but I know the guy he heard it from must.

No single thing short of abolishing the entire US Military (the singles largest polluter in the world) isn’t going to be the thing to save is. It’s about taking ALL the steps you can to make the world able to be saved. Not a great lens to evaluate personal decisions bases on if it solves the whole problem right away or not.

When push comes to shove, democrats move rightward.

Dem leadership silently smiling and counting their money.

Thats the catch, he has to fly home in a Boeing.

Not so shocking. The right is only good at organizing when they’ve got huge bankrolls behind them, there’s really little else special with their organizing methods. Like how the Kochs funded the tea party. Almost all monied interests in the US support Israel and make good money from it, so theres no puppet master, just puppets.

I wish I could just publish a bogus study that says pfas cause people to be more liberal so then they’d ban them quicker.

I feel like from the beginig forcing sale was the goal so a US entity has a chance to pick up part of the number one social media for cheaepr than the open market because when a sale is forced sellers lose leverage.

Saying good things about Cuba doesn’t make one a tankie. Cuba does good things. If ever there was justification for a violent revolution would it not be slavery? No ones gonna call people who think Haitis revolution against their slave owners was good tankies. Similarly, Vietnam is a left nation and saying good things about them doesn’t make you a tankie because they’re doing good things. All the above countries have their problems too, but I wouldn’t liken praise to them with genocide deniers.

Good. Everyone should take a note from Phill Ochs and sing ‘I aint marching anymore’

New England has two types of place names. Old English colonial names and Native ones. Like a river called Woonasquatucket from the very same state you mentioned, Rhode Island.

This wasn’t non violent, it was stochastic violence. He chose to leak to who he leaked it to specifically because of the chance one of them acts on it.

15 million long term vacant houses to 600,000 homeless.

15 million vacant houses. Around 600,000 homeless people. If only 10% of all vacant homes in the use were liveable we could still give every homeless person two and have some left over.

Correct, and im no fan of the cops in general but my point mainly focuses on how so many perpetrators of these kinds of crime tend to make themselves known ahead of time so it really looks like we had enough information, and in a lot of cases we even have the law’s jurisdiction too, but still failed to take the action required. If the laws that are already there arent being enforced I struggle to think we can just keep adding laws assuming those will be enforced.
