i don’t actually (at least not in full). the empires of the global north have already shifted their population standards, decreasing birthrates and experiencing longer lives. the issue is that the global north is also the part of the world that’s doing all the polluting and preventing the global south from gaining access to the education and resources that we enjoy. if we decolonize the earth, people will naturally make better decisions about their local environments and be more empowered to make better decisions about how to be and how to live.

additionally the land management techniques employed by the colonial powers are ATROCIOUS. the majority of north american farm lands that can produce food are used to grow feed for cattle. the cattle are then raised not in rangelands that could not otherwise support horticultural agriculture, but instead in small feedlots. you will note, i am not calling for universal veganism. ecoterianism usually shies away from going this far due to the question of rangelands. but do you know what most rangelands in north america are used for today? single family homes and golf courses. these are not sustainable patterns of behavior. if we shifted our diets to more grains, more ruffage, less meat, and abolished the institution of the HOA so more people could grow more of their own food, our current population could be sustained.

additionally, for all the technological advances we have made of late in the energy sector, even finding that land with solar panels on it can produce more agricultural output, much of the world still relies on coal fired electric plants. many of the hydroelectric dams that have been built and have already destroyed indigenous communities sit dormant. why? because global economic policy is largely determined by who owns what minerals beneath the earth. this is being exacerbated by placing data centers for high energy cost AI computations in inappropriate locations, driving people who are already struggling deeper into poverty.

there is so much waste in this economic system that is made simply because it makes the speculation markets grow. we can live without that waste. the reason we don’t is pure, simple, greed. and what it will take to undo is the power of the people gathering together to say “you may own the factories, the machines, and the land, but without our brains and muscles not a single wheel can turn.” We the people are capable of so much more than we give ourselves credit for and there’s so much room for improvement in this world that ecofascism seeks to ignore by reducing the problem down to just “there’s too many of us, and i can’t fathom adjusting how i live, so that’s it, that’s the end of it”

yup!

this is an ecofascist position. our planet can be balanced if we adjust the way we live, the way we eat, and the way we treat eachother

i support the working people. sometimes as an expedient that means a small degree of support of national entities, but the most important thing is the freedom of the people.

i’ve always thought of buy it for life ethos as rejecting disposability

i wouldn’t have minded it so much if there was always an option to do a dungeon dive with a default character

i think the most important thing to understand about Post Malone is that the absurdity is representative of a rejection of Malone’s eurocentric projection of universal truth. Post Malone is more interested in the fact that while the reality we exist in may have aspects of objectivity, all of our individual perspectives within the greater gestalt are ultimately subjective, no matter how much we try to unearth an objective truth. Personally, I’m interested in the ongoing turn towards Meta Malone which seeks to critique, comment on, and ultimately combine both Malone and Post Malone

Rogue Legagy. after a while it suddenly occurred to me that if my characters were slowly getting more powerful as a result of how long i played the game, the game wasn’t challenging me to beat it, it was challenging me to invest my time until i’d customized the experience to be easy enough for me. so i switched back to playing more traditional roguelikes and roguelikelikes (which is what we called roguelites at the time) where you reset to 0 each play

this conflict can be resolved with tuna

they did though, is the thing, particularly in Russian and Ukraine, less so in Ukbekistan and Kazakhstan. where i can sympathize with your “USSR always better” posturing here though is that the violence against children in Russia intensified after the collapse of the soviet union. additionally eugenics programs structured against left handed people were not unique to the soviet bloc, with the last law in the united states mandating the punishment of children for left-handedness being repealed in 2004 after a teacher in Tazewell, Virginia paddled a child for their lefthandedness in first grade.

however, in order to forge a better future we have to look back at history with a critical gaze to understand how we came to stand where we stand. violence against left handed children in the USSR was real, and to dismiss it with a simple “no they didn’t” is disrespectful and dismissive to real people’s lived experience that we can still draw from today. my neighbor in his 40s danced when that law was repealed in 2004 because he was so excited no child would be allowed to be scarred the way he was in a Russian orphanage in the 80s. he is today an organizer and advocate for that all forms of corporal punishment against children should be ceased as it’s just a normalization for when they’re adults. i find your flippancy with “no they didn’t” absurd and dismissive

by the time the cybertruck started delivering, all pretense of who its maker really was was gone. no longer could you think of him as “just the electric car guy who was in the MCU that time and likes posting memes.” It was ABUNDANTLY obvious that he was a fascist boot heel. i can see any tesla on the road but the cybertuck and the model Y and rationalize that someone bought it without knowing, or sold it at a steep loss to someone who just needed a car. but the two newest models in the lineup? those directly funded fascism

it’s wild how much “you gotta watch out for those judeo-bolsheviks” i’m seeing on corporate social media. i understand that everything that’s old is new again, but i don’t understand how people who think they’re anti-genocide can fall in line with actual factual nazis conducting a different genocide.

every genocide is connected and the same. if you turn your eyes from one to focus on another you are ultimately complicit in both. that was the lesson of the armenian genocide leading into the holocaust, but we have a tendency as a species to ignore anything that isn’t the worst thing. slavery still exists but it’s not chattel slavery, an institution so unique it was called “the curious institution”? then it’s not so bad. today people are ignoring the genocides in latin america, sudan, and palestine because it’s not taking the form of industrialized death factories (yet) and they can only think in those terms now. and if someone’s paying attention they’re often only paying partial attention making them vulnerable to bullshit.

it makes me so angry. i’ve been fighting against genocide for 20 years now and now, when the terms of engagement should be as obvious as possible, still people turn their fucking heads and entrench themselves deeper into various forms of campism, bigotry, and intentional ignorance.

fuck every division amongst the working class. we are the great protectors of the land if we only could open our fucking eyes and see how we’re manipulated to hate eachother instead of realizing that the greatest power we have is the love of solidarity for eachother.

and fuck every attempt to assemble an ethnostate. fuck zionism. fuck white supremacy. not a single person on earth is free until the last slave draws their first free breath

they’ve expanded the 100 miles to 250, and include cities with international airports now. we’re at a point now where USBP jurisdiction is wherever a USBP agent happens to be

the world’s richest man also cut off Ukrainian access to starlink when Ukraine initiated a counter offensive against Russia. the oligarchs that form the US military industrial complex can, will, and have used their positions of leverage to influence geo-politics

their primary product is a VPN. for ages they’ve been the best in class for privacy vpn. however, it turns out their CEO is basically singlehandedly bankrolling a far right political party in Sweden so people are looking for alternatives

thanks. i get these things mixed up some

so the other comment reply does nothing to explain, but there’s too much mis- and disinformation that people consume and too much prideful ignorance to just let a comment sit like this as the top of the “hot” algorithm to not give people an entry point to enlighten themselves.

dark matter is not named for its undetectibility within the visible light spectrum. you are correct that we cannot detect much matter within the universe based on the visible light spectrum. dark matter is named based on that we cannot detect it at all. dark matter is more the answer to a question we don’t yet know how to answer. there are a lot of behaviors out there in the cosmos that cannot be explained through the simple interactions between matter that we are able to observe, leading many scientists to theorize that much of the universe, around 70% of it, is made of a form of matter that interacts with the kind of matter we are by just kinda… pushing it away (not like anti matter which causes waveform collapses when interacting with the kind of matter we are).

a competing theory for why the cosmos acts the way it does is because space time itself is expanding as a result of our observable universe existing on the inside of a black hole. my estimation is probably that both explanations contain part of the truth and that the whole truth is that both dark matter exists and our universe is inside a blackhole. if you want a real mind trip, i suspect our universe is inside a blackhole inside our universe, and that every blackhole in the universe contains a universe. filled with blackholes with universes, including the very same universe that contains that blackhole

i want to live in a neighborhood where neighbors help eachother when they need help. i want this so when i need help i’ll get help. so when i’m able to help i help to make sure this is that kind of neighborhood

oh! i forgot one thing. for a laptop look for a refurbished laptop with adequate memory. basically all laptops these days are planned ewaste so just try to get as much distance out of some reclaimed ewaste as you can

Use what you have! the g2 is a fine pen
