Yep. You described a state I'd like - lower quality of life for some, massive increase for nearly everyone else. But you are also right, the people with power aren't ever going to vote for that. So I focus on my scale. I'm no

I was wrong. Let me fix that. (Edit: I cannot edit it now.) I misread that statistic and I was incorrect. That said, 70,000 tonnes is 70 kilotonnes, not 0.7. You are correct, 70 kilotonnes is smaller than 3,000. 70 kilotonnes is roughly twi

Inefficient, probably, but remember that you are operating within a system where people need to shop for a deal. There are other systems one can consider. And don't think of community as a single local place, but rather multiple interl

Israel has deployed more explosive munitions by tonnage on the Gaza Strip than were deployed in the entirety of world war 2. In an area smaller than Seattle, with four times the density of civilians and a huge proportion of children. They&#

It's really important to differentiate mutual aid from charity. They are very different. Mutual aid is about building community and then sharing your excess with that community. My extra food is not going to random humans, but rather t

Maybe read better news? I've been hearing about the Yazidi through reporting on the YPJ/YPG since circa 2015. But I think theres multiple factors happening. One is scale. Millions of Palestinians are currently experiencing displac

I've fed and housed people for decades, provided transportation, donated skills, and rehabilitated wild lands. The people who receive the benefits from that didn't do anything to get them. They simply needed them. If I have extra

I can tell you are unable to approach this topic rationally. No one made the claim this is the worse genocide ever. It does not need to rise to that bar to be a genocide. Your hyperbole is not a good faith effort to discuss the topic. And t

I would. I regularly do. One of the underpinning core beliefs of anarchist theory is "wellbeing for all". Every human deserves the best conditions we can collectively give each other, and we should all be working not for our indiv

You two are using different definitions for "can". You are using it in the "is it probable or realistic to expect it" sense and the parent poster is using it in the "is it mechanically possible" sense. I think

Anti imperialist and anti capitalist sentiment gets downvoted here without a doubt. I think the idea that it's bots and not, say, a community that has self selected mostly into people who are pro imperialist and pro capitalist is perha

Is anyone stopping any of the genocides around the world? Governments and citizenry are engaged in many attempts to wholly eradicate cultures and minorities. Sometimes fast, like Israel attempting to eradicate Palestinians. Sometimes they a

Right, it's not constrained to Gaza. The genocide against Palestinian people is occurring across the nation of Israel.

No disagreement from me.

Or the gasoline generation efficiency and transmission losses? Or the economic impacts of oil pollution? Getting oil from the ground to the pump isn't free either.

I think you are being too glib. The trust model is really different for small packages. Housing small amounts of drugs in objects is way easier and more likely than wrecking someone's airbnb. And the consequences are higher for the dri

I ride my cargo bike to Costco. I can fit a full shopping cart on it, getting enough for a family of three regularly and easily. With a small hatchback car I could easily fit way more. If I had a convenient train I'd shop more frequent

Negligible. You'd be a fool to apply. Let alone accept.

They fired talented engineers and technologists because they were trans. It's not a meritocracy right now. Good people were fired based on their identity alone.

Do you think that having a say in the way the place you live for 5% of your life might increase the odds you want to settle down there and contribute to making it a good place? Someone is working on completing their higher education here, s

You haven't been paying attention. And that's ok. Obama was destroying families, and killing peoples, he just did it out of sight with a charming smile. You think people deported by him didn't die as a result? You think his m

Policing is not a particularly dangerous job, police are people with fragile egos. Cops are violent towards their intimate partners at a rate many many many times typical. Something like 25-40% of cops are abusers. Sources: Johnson, L.B. (1

You are arguing with the ref that the rules say dogs can't play basketball while a dog dunks on you over and over in the background. You think "not allowed to" is something this government will ever abide by?

Cops are pretty toxic in relationships. In two studies, 40% of cops surveyed admitted to perpetrating domestic violence. In other studies the number was closer to 25%. No matter what the number, that's way higher than typical. Now give
