Don’t No True Scotsman just because a Democrat happened to also be a fascist.

When the water wars come for us, all the Democrats will be fascists.

This. This election is Fascist Capitalism versus Fascist-Lite Capitalism, and any attempt to point to some minimal gains made via executive action (when the SC just killed Chevron Deference) since we can’t get actual change through Congress is whitewashing.

Yeah, cause they suck ass.

Caddy took an afternoon to figure out and setup, and it does your certs for you.

We aren’t doing the recycling necessary to reclaim used materials from ewaste that is needed. While we may “have enough” materials to build enough renewable energy to meet our current needs initially, those materials will eventually need to be replaced, and unless we degrowth the energy output we currently need to be met will only grow. Those materials are only going to get harder and harder to extract, requiring higher and higher fuel consumption as those minerals aren’t located in urban centers with easy access to the electrical grid, they will require higher and higher fuel consumption for ICEs, internal combustion engines.

This also isn’t considering the continued growth in consumer electronics and the integration of electronics in public and private infrastructure that use those same minerals taking those minerals away from the use in renewables. Then there is the damage to the environment and people that mining those minerals requires, nor the damage that recycling ewaste does to the environment and people.

Without a socialist revolution in the core capitalist countries (global north), the continued growth is going to mean that they will consume the majority of rare earth minerals for both products and renewables, while pushing the impacts on environment and people onto global south countries, until they either refuse to do the damage to themselves or collapse under the strain of climate change, or both. In turn, that will mean a global shift to fascism as capital seeks to protect itself at all cost. Which then will lead to climate wars, over resources, and denying those to people outside the global north.

Renewables are part of the solution, but without socialism and degrowth to consumption levels of that of Cuba, the focus of renewables as the only solution is a pipe dream.

It needs to be this exactly. We need degrowth.

There aren’t enough rare earth minerals on the earth to create the necessary equipment for solar, wind, etc to meet our current energy needs. The answer isn’t just green energy, we need to actively contract the size of the economy and make less shit that we then throw away.

And the Nazis.

I mean, we’re still caging children at the border and a genocide is happening right now and we have given the ally who is perpetuating that genocide more weapons. Both sides are evil.

The benefit is you can only open up 80/443, rather than a port per service/app.

No.

There isn’t a nationwide increase in crime, and there haven’t been defundings of the police.

What reality do you live in?

Sick, love to see a fascist thinking about criminalizing those who need help, not punishment, the most.

Yeah, agreed. Let’s change nothing cause bad people will try to fuck us over!

How is it always shitjustworks users with the dumbest takes. What’s in the water over there?

I’d like to see your script.

They can. I’ll wait to see what China does. I already know how the IMF and the World Bank operate.
