No one is saying this is a genocide at the "hands of the Jews". Jews are not a monoculture, and while there are Jewish people involved in this genocide, this is clearly at the hands of the current state of Israel (and more specifi

Curious, what makes that not safe for work? It's a discussion about a handgun manufacturing error, and the manufacturer's failure to respond adequately to it.

You are describing people misusing the expression "Dog Whistle" and then saying that's the definition. It's fine to say people overuse the term, or apply it incorrectly, but like, the definition is unambiguous here.

That's not what "dog whistles" are, lol. Dog Whistle means "coded language" basically. Dog whistles are where someone says something that their audience will understand to mean a specific thing, but will be inaudibl

China is expected to have hit peak coal consumption this year, and within 25 years it might not be burned as a base generation fuel any more. The trend line there is clearly renewable energy (particularly solar) taking over. The US is mo

Would reducing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere reverse current problems? On it's own, it would start to, yes. It would reduce global temperatures, reduce weather irregularities, begin to cool the globe back down. But we'd then

by nosignono 1y ago
That's needlessly complex. It's means testing for CO2. Means testing is a huge waste of effort, imo. If the US, Europe, Russia, India, and China stop burning fossil fuels, we'll be well on our way. I'm not really worried

Stop burning fossil fuels, build infrastructure to remove carbon from the atmosphere. Extract the minimum number of fossil fuels necessary to serve non-fuel uses. The solution is not easy . But it is known .

It has nothing to do with "white guilt" or fetishism. It's not a race thing at all. It's a "my nation recently and currently systematically exploited people. I would like my nation to try to make those people whole&

That's not a generalization. That's a totally separate argument. Making someone whole for the loss of a phone does not require you to provide them housing (which is significantly more valuable than the phone was.) It probably mean

Generalize this line of thought. "A thief stole an iphone and dropped it on my doorstep. I kept it, despite knowing it was stolen, because I did not ask the thief to steal it for me". It's very silly on the small scale. It&#x

Plenty of big thinkers out there think nations and citizenship are outmoded concepts, or they are concepts that provoke needless violence. They find their own nationalities an embarrassment.

No, but they benefitted from the colonialism and fight efforts to return those benefits to the colonized. We're not talking about something that happened thousands of years ago here.

A whole of stuff here feels... emotionally loaded in a way that's designed to be manipulative rather than heartfelt. Saying "A gun craves to be shot" is a clear example -- guns don't crave anything. I'm a pro-gun le

If you think Obama wasn't overseeing an empire, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you should ask the people of Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya about the US drone strikes there.
