Don’t lump anarchists with way too online MLs.

Ngl, i’m just going to assume you are a neo-lib who is going to back away from those other symbols as soon as you see a homeless person just walking down the street. As an ND Queer who grew up in OK and now lives in a liberal area, it’s all the same shit. I’ve seen plenty of American flags being waved next to pride flags and shit but these same people will call the cops cause someone looks “fishy” in their neighborhood (and the fishy is being Black, but hey why do any introspective about your role in the racist system). I’ve never seen anyone who flies the American flag that didn’t come from someplace of privilege that will say “BLM!” or “Love is Love!” and then turn around and say “Maybe some conservatives have a point” or whatever.

Just letting you know, if you fly an American flag regardless of whatever else, a lot of different marginalized people are going to side-eye you and not trust you. You can’t “take back” something that is embedded in the very fabric of the creation of this country (hate, bigotry, fascism) without societal changes to the basic foundations of this country.

oh my god, people like you still exist? Fuck off

agreed

sure, but the series and Square are by far very different than they were in it’s heyday. Square has really been racking its players over the coals with shitty tactics lately and has signaled pretty loud and clear that they don’t care about games at all and are just trying to get money out of you (I mean all major companies are like that, the others are just better at it and shut up about it) I said Tears of the Kingdom because it’s the current high selling game, that’s what they wanted this game to be and I honestly don’t know why you’d even hope for something like that when handling business the way they do. (as people have mentioned they’d play it but do not have the system.)

It’s Square, they wouldn’t of been happy unless it sold as much as Tear of The Kingdom

This implies that I consider the Republicans any short of type of legitimate. The only thing I care to do with the nazi party is to treat them as nazi’s should be treated. While the younger generation would probably agree with me, we are not quite where we need to be with that. So if i’m talking about anything in regards to handling politics in any way that isn’t a riot, i’m going to be referring to Democrats…who the vast majority are also not legitimate but many people are not ready to hear that yet, so I offer the suggestion I have at the time. I do agree with you mostly. I would greatly like to burn it all to the ground and build something better, but until the people are there, i’m going to suggest things that might work in our current climate while suggesting people organize and work on opening people’s understanding on the fact that our institutions only exist to serve the ruling class. Let’s just say I wait for the day that we can have cocktails at these people’s houses.

are we ready to admit that Joe Rogan is basically just a right wing podcaster now or are we going to continue this stupid dance of “no he’s just a centrist telling it like it is”

No

I think we really need to start shoving the noses of Democrats on how much China is beating our ass in just about everything in regard to infrastructure and going green. Pride is about the only thing i can think of that might make the Dems do something other than the barest of bare minimums on these things and point out how the supposedly “bad” country is doing better then us might get people to think. idk anything to challenge American Exceptionalism

We need a whole host of public transit options that are best suited for each circumstance of a given area. I want public transit so smooth that even if you tried getting lost you end up where you wanted to go with no clue on how it happened. (last bit is an over exaggeration since i don’t know how feasible that actually is lol)

well lab grown meat has just recently been approved for sell. So that’s a major thing. But there are a lot of plant protein resources. I’m vegetarian so I eat eggs and some milk. (I actually prefer almond milk, most of my milk consumption probably comes from why protein powder cause I can’t afford the plant protein powders for weight lifting). Now as someone who actually studied nutrition in college, the confusion comes from the fact that people don’t factor amino acids. As my teacher said “You don’t have a protein requirement, you have an amino acid requirement” once you look at it in this way, there are ways around this that we can do, but there are shortcomings as of right now (especially socio-economic) if you cut out eggs. However, it would be pretty easy to add the missing nutrients in other foods the issue comes from good ol classic capitalism issues of “efficiency and money” shit.

Honestly, some of the biggest problems we face is just a matter of focus and funding in research. There are a lot of solutions and it’s honestly amazing how far we’ve come despite special interest groups (oil, farming trusts, etc) have worked to stunt the growth of things, so you just have to imagine what ecological, vegan, etc tech could do if it hand the same funding and backing as these other sectors. I honestly can’t wait.

actually, a lot of them do think climate change is unstoppable in some way shape and form, I know cause i get told that almost every day. There are people doing it in these comments right now.

Also, I read the article, he is not ignoring the issue here, and honestly, i think this is directed at the leaders too. Who do you think is spreading this gloom and doom in the first place? Who benefits from people giving up and we just live in a worst world when there is much we can do to fight? The fossil fuel-backed “leadership”.

There are plenty of ways to fight, you just can’t do it alone. No one can fight climate change alone. Our individualism has warped our brains so that we cannot even fathom what to do at first when we ourselves cannot fix a problem by ourselves. Another outcome of hegemony and our corrupt society.

only through building community and threatening the power structure can we effectively fight for real change. “leadership” (aka people with power who are all corrupt to a certain extent) will do nothing if they do not have a legitimate fear of the people, and that will not come without community building and throwing off the shackles of individualism.

get organized with people and bring fear to the people who won’t change policies. YOU cannot do anything, but WE can. No one can fight climate change alone.

If you had been listening to any anti-fascist group they could of told you this. It’s honestly not that big of a secret.

oh look people in the comments who are missing the fucking point. I’m honestly so sick of this shit. You either have rainbows and unicorns and “we’ll just figure it out”/climate deniers to “WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH” apathetic fucks who won’t do shit* because “what’s the point we are all doomed anyway” which…causes the same problem as denying does.

honestly i’ve delt with more people who refuse to change anything because “what’s the point” than I deal with outright deniers anymore.

*not sure if anyone in the comments is an apathetic "do nothing though tbf and honest. So there is my disclaimer don’t @ me.

Sick leave was one thing, but if you did any actual digging past what the media was telling you and listen to the workers then you would of known that sick leave was the bare minimum and they barely got that and it was pathetic. Look if you are not a sea lion and actually give a shit then go listen to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=69A_UCdikE8

Cause I’m not going to sit here and type out a novel of all the problems.

If you really can’t wrap your brain around that Palestine was warned about before it happened and the delay of and the eventual shit deal, was part of it. Then you need to go educate yourself on working class history and how laws are written in blood in captalism. Like, i don’t know what to tell you at this point. The deal was shit. Palestine is on Bidens hands especially after he shook hands with the literal barons. It’s not rocket science.

Um…i don’t know what i said made you think i was a fossil fuel person. I agree completely. But we are going to need to help the corals that have died off and are struggling even if we stop all fossil fuels today. That is what i was getting at. I guess cause of other assholes, i can see why you’d assume that im a “just out techno climate change”, but I’m not.

Train workers, and before you push the whole “but they made a deal recently!” that deal was fucking pathetic and does NOTHING to address the infrastructure issues, and the fact that they are going to try and reduce workers down to 1. At best all it did was let the shitty horrible train infrastructure limp along. I fucking listened to workers whistleblowing for months and it will always fucking enrage me that Palestine did not have to fucking happen. That is on Biden’s and the dems hands. You vote for the dems cause you don’t have a fucking choice and if you are fortunate enough to live in a situation that you CAN vote (cause the dems do nothing about gerrymandering and other voting issues ) you pinch your nose, vote dem, and then if you actually care about fixing anything, you go back to organizing and building local community. Cause no one else is going to help us, let alone save us. In the words of Robert Evans, I vote just in the weird off chance it fucking does something. I never expect anything good to come federally and it keeps me grounded and able to do actual work. Fuck biden and any of the other west wing brain rot fuckers that is the establishment dems.

speaking honestly here, good for you! That can be a hard thing to pull yourself out of. I’m glad you were able to do it.
