I’m not OP but I think you’re in a different reality. The point is that our current capitalist system has ruined the environment, created the largest wealth disparities in modern history (maybe all of history), and brought on an irreversible climate change that will (and has already in some cases) kill millions and cause many trillions of damage.

So if this current system has caused all this, what other systems could we try to prevent future damage? I’m not saying pure Marxism is the solution, but we definitely need to weaken this hypercapitalist system that externalizes any long term environmental and climate damage for short term profit.

This is one of the most succinct statements in the article:

“Under capitalism ecological limits are treated as costs that can be displaced onto communities, future generations, and the atmosphere itself.”

Yep that’s what I’ve heard about Parable of the Sower but all the more reason to read it. I work on a cluster called Butler named after her so apparently she’s pretty good.

Interesting, thanks!

Not taking a photo, but here are mine:

• The Ministry for the Future

• I’m With the Bears: Short Stories from a Damaged Planet

• Termination Shock

• 21 Lessons for the 21st Century

• American War (Omar El Akkad)

Books that I want to read but haven’t:

• Petroleum Papers

• Seveneves

• Parable of the Sower (Butler)

• The Language of Climate Politics (Guenther)

• The Deluge (Markley)

• Merchants of Doubt (Oreskes)

• The Big Myth (Oreskes)

They aren’t interested in affordability. CCI is absolutely spot on about everything they said, but at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter. Fossil capital owns most politicians, and that’s the whole story. As they say:

“What is really causing the potential for cost transfer onto consumers and working people? It’s profit-incentivized firms delivering what should otherwise be public goods.”

Here is a report from the ODNI on how climate change will cause conflict. It’s unclassified (obviously) but has a lot of good detail for anyone curious: https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/NIE_Climate_Change_and_National_Security.pdf

It’s the internet. Everyone has a strong, entitled view about every stupid inconsequential thing lol

But I always try to spread environmental info anytime it comes up. The environment and climate is by far the most important topic for me.

Yes. For example if we have 10 million tons of crude oil in the ocean, it would still be bad to add another 10 tons into the ocean. War is bad enough for the environment, lets focus on killing the bad guys not destroying European nature.

hey let’s not add more micro plastics to the environment please. Just use old fashioned munitions like a normal army.

The best way to treat cancer is to surgically remove it from the body, along with chemo to make sure it’s completely eradicated.

Yeah that’s what I’m saying. There aren’t that many jobs that you control the hours for and yet pay well enough to live within walking or biking distance to the beach (at least in America, I’m sure you could live in lower cost of living countries as a “digital nomad” and ruin the local economy).

But… if you can swing that type of thing, you don’t need to be like rich, just well off enough to afford it.

The biggest chunk is affording rent or a home close enough to a beach area. If you can work some artisanal wood carving job or something where you can set your own hours, but make good enough money to cover your basics, then you’re set.

Yeah that’s all I was asking about. I constantly see posts from you and it just seems like a lot of work, which is why I asked about AI.

Are you AI silence7? You post like dozens of posts a day all over the place. Where do you even find these kinds of articles?

These concentration camps will be so interesting to read about in the history books. History will not look kindly on anyone even tangentially supporting MAGA.

It’s not nearly as much as it should be based on how many people are angry at the regime, but also the news doesn’t want to publicize it because they don’t want to give other people any ideas. Look at the response after they tried trashing Luigi, everyone loved and supported his cause, and they quickly dropped coverage.

I mean… I don’t know what reality you’re living in, but that’s not quite happening yet.

Congratulations, you have made The List.

That’s a very solid point, but Mossad isn’t after Ted Cruz.
