It’s crazy how bad things are, and yet the only reason we’re learning any of this is because it’s ammo for selling the NHS off to United Healthcare

Why does he look like Alf?

So we should doubt climate change because capitalists will use it as a justification to achieve their goals?

Comrade, I’m not trying to suggest you are a right-winger. I’m just saying that these sources may not be as authoritative and reliable as you may have thought. Even if voltairenet is respectable on geopolitics, why would a geopolitics expert be the person you’d trust on climate change, rather than a climate scientist?

A conversation on 9/11 is probably best left for another thread, my points are simply that A. People can be wrong, B. Just because someone is good at one thing doesn’t mean we should trust them on another, and C. When the research and scientific methods being used for something are dubious at best and intentionally misleading at worst, we probably shouldn’t trust those sources.

What would be the benefit to the West for nations like China to deindustrialise? The west lacks the industrial capacity to support itself, let alone the entire world. It also both cannot and will not ramp up production as it would be simultaneously far too costly, and would give far too much labour power to workers for the capitalists’ comfort. So is their ultimate goal just global degrowth? That doesn’t really track.

Lemme break down Clintel for you:

This is some pseudoscience garbage that has no merit. All of their arguments are the same ancient, tired ones that your moron conservative uncle has been saying for thirty years. When your scientific document’s primary basis just says “i mean but where’s the proof that it’s anthropogenic though?” without any additional insight beyond parroting a 2001 Fox News chyron, it’s not good science. They’ve decided that climate change does not exist, and are trying to work back from there.

Quacks will frequently try to tell you that their skill and knowledge in one field of science will make them an expert at everything. If a physicist tries to tell you something about climate change, trans people, or capitalism, you should regard their opinion the same as you’d regard a trucker or a glassblower’s. They have no additional training, understanding, or insight on these subjects simply because they’re very skilled at something that’s entirely irrelevant to the discussion. Looking through the signatories, I see physicists, geologists, computer scientists, and exactly zero climate scientists.

Also, this organization is tied closely to the Koch-funded Atlas Network, with the overwhelming majority of their signatories and ambassadors being members of the Cato Institute, Heartland Institute, or other associated groups. Their website is a blog and virtually all of the media listed there are either very poorly researched essays with charts that show the exact opposite of the claims they make, or bios on random signatories and their flat earth wives whose accreditations are mostly just “I went to college for geology in the 70s and I teach computer science at a college you’ve never heard of.”

VoltaireNet is anything but a reliable source, it’s a wild conspiracy org associated with Thierry Meyssan, who’s best known for 9/11 conspiracy theories and using circular citations with other conspiracy theorists. He cites weirdo B, B cites weirdo C, C cites Thierry. Dude is a total crank, dunno what to tell you. Look at the website, it’s totally goofy shit. Come on, now.

wow we are so happy to meet someone from space thats so cool

where’s the documentary? if they made it surely it can be found, yeah?

The demon of entitled millennials, who should be thanking us for their sub-minimum wages and unpaid overtime 😤

Well now you can be mad about this, so it all works out :)

If getting your money’s worth means Americans aren’t dying, boy, do I have the government program for you! It’s called Healthcare, and

Inventing a new type of guy whose geopolitical beliefs are exclusively tied to the maximal creation and proliferation of new flags.

You’re definitely going to want to install the AMDGPU drivers. They’re open source drivers and are unironically better than the windows proprietary ones.

Any time the word “must” appears in a headline it makes that thing never happen a little bit harder than it already was never going to.

Sorry guys, we made a mistake and accidentally loaded all the t-shirts into a Javelin missile we sent to Ukraine. We only found out when the post office let us know that the boxes we were sending to you all tested for explosives! Unfortunately we can’t issue refunds because we spent the money already on trafficking orphan slaves to convert some surplus canvas waterboarding hoods into messenger bags.

Or get an ebike to help with that

I will never stop aggressively advocating for everyone to use a credit union or their nation’s equivalent. They’re so much better than banks that it’s mind boggling, and almost universally subject to the same or better (for you the consumer) regulations than standard banks everywhere they’re located. I get a ridiculous 4% interest at my local CU (not doxxing myself) and have no fees for anything ever, it’s dope.
