you’re welcome. he mentions Klein’s book. i prefer some of the more theoretical work by e.g. John Bellamy Foster but Klein’s book is a good place to start. it’s full of detail and facts and relatively easy to read . if you don’t get as much as you like in the sense of ‘capitalism causes climate change’, take a look at Bellamy Foster or Hickel. Hickel is in some ways now specific . like , he will go into the details of carbon emissions and he has a lot on his website, including short blogs et c.

maybe this list will be useful : https://www.historicalmaterialism.org/ecology-marxism-andreas-malm/

ooh what mods and how do they make it interesting?

interesting thing about all this is in showing exactly how dependent on fossil fuels western europe is . without the Ukraine war ,gas usage would not be reported like it currently is.

in the west , rapid growth precipitates collapse because it means someone’s had their hand in the cookie jar

considering the nature of an encyclopedia - short, knowledgeable articles on practically every topic - what’s the difference except to invite errors and snazz things up ?

that’s not completely fair ; they could have done their research (using ai)

this might all explain macron’s actions. he’s the safe pair of hands and the scapegoat rolled into one if things don’t go to plan in sahel .

“billionaire … grassroots”

lmao but people will fall for it

the compradors hope the US will look after them specifically even if it’s bad for the average european . up till now, it has been and they can get rich in the US and in Europe. capital moves across borders . It’s more like the anglo european empire than the american empire but its imperial seat is in the US.

Realising they can get away with another genocide has whet their appetites

still not a great environmental impact but this is a better way of using ammo to keep the MIC happy

hmmm i have to admit i used to read more fantasy than sci fi and watch and play a little more sci fi than fantasy . not much time to do either now 😔

I enjoyed ‘the gods themselves’ by Asimov. i did read and enjoy a lot of kids sci do books but I can’t remember the names, except Halo . I only ever played a few matches at my friend’s place as I never had an Xbox but I read the first three books of that series and loved them. tried to read them as an adult and did not get very far into the first one. Maybe they pick up a bit. I might have time over Christmas to read a bit more of them if things go to plan (they won’t go to plan, though, lol, i already know it! )

what about you? Any recommendations?

thanks for clarifying

at the cash machine

casa de papel 2 : Japan

but it’s a miniseries because they break into the bank on the second try - 1234bank (but in Japanese, obviously)

save up all your revolution monies and cash in when you want to retire . your pension will only be stolen anyway

step 1 take them off the list

so ungrateful to just not live in an unfinished building. the builders probably wouldn’t even mind stepping over your sleeping bag while they’re plastering the ceiling. they might actually appreciate being able to wedge your foot under a corner ofthe old step ladder and stop it from wobbling

In sum , when it’s social murder?
