That's the part that keeps getting missed. This all reminds of the yoyoing back and forth about whether coffee is healthy for you or not. Another damned science article on the issue. Great. Just what I needed. But the AMOC situation they always say is contingent upon action or inaction on global warming and what exactly am I supposed to think is happening to the systems? Hmm? Seems like everything is collapsing. So maybe I just might as well be fully prepared for the AMOC to straight up collapse. This groundhog day crap is getting really old. Same reason I always take a tote bag to the grocery store even if it's not always legally required in this county - sometimes they're out of bags, sometimes it's legally required; might as well be equipped with a bag.
That actually kind of makes sense. It just seems like there's a reason we pay for these things.
Wow. Shocker. Capitalism isn't so easily reformable toward sustainability. I don't understand why more democrats, like the ones who have been up until now relying on the sentiment of large financial institutions and corporations to finish the job of addressing climate change, don't get their head in the game and realize how eco-unfriendly so much of capitalism is, and, depending on one's definition of capitalism, how eco-unfriendly all of capitalism may be. I think some of them have developed a greater love for their white picket fence-esque life as marketed to them in real time than for understanding the impact of scientific information about climate change on the life of the planet including their own per an authentic scientific understanding - because the latter starts to look more socialist by almost every definition of socialism.
A fungus infecting the ecosystem and crops in the san joaquin valley that makes people get this fever thing, makes everyone sniffly kind of and some other stuff.
Yeah it sure is cheap living in the bread basket of the world, the san joaquin valley. My rent is 334. I even have housing assistance. Ag ag ag is all I hear here, and everyone has no idea how unsustainable industrialized agriculture is. Plus the droughts, the toxicity, the general poverty, and also valley fever.
Cascadian Laboratories Incorporated "CascaLab" on Facebook pages. Our website is down and our donation mechanism doesn't work right now. We're very small and new, since 2022 we were founded. We do almost nothing but feyerabend-inspired research remote from one another. It's kind of coddiwompling and we try to research ways of making sure we're not doing armchair research, that we're actually testing real world things. One thing I test is home economics solutions. We're actually wondering about creating a federated network of nonprofit think tanks of similar size just meeting the minimum requirements for a 501 ( c ) 3 each of them rather than actually scaling. I picked some of my closest friends, those among them who were most excited about doing it. I used legalzoom to create it.
There are so many authors to let into my soul and digest. I operate a small 501 ( c ) 3 think tank so I've been in the process of letting Paul Feyerabend into my soul. It's a real emotional move to sit down and start absorbing a new author, to be honest. I was going to start on Marcuse next.
It is brainwash to think that the democratic party is actually in favor of the underprivileged. To me it seems like a transitional organization towards a very real fascism, a way to take horseshoe politics and twist them around until what you have is a straightforward ultraconservative party. Marxism-Leninism is basically conservative in every instance and what they have now is Marxism-Leninism Lite, so there's not much more to go. The Soviet Union was conservative. True leftism is always libertarian or libertarian-leaning.
100%. Yes. This. High five.
How does that make the democrats not fascists? You think I'm saying the MAGA people aren't fascist? They are definitely fascist. I already said I'm green. This thing you're saying about Jill Stein somehow taking republican money is new information to me and I don't know what to make of it. But it doesn't change what's simultaneously going on with the democrats.
EDIT : I see it was the other person who was referring to Jill Stein taking republican money.
It's the democrats who are behaving increasingly like fascists. They make things horrible for the underprivileged making all sorts of promises and then giving everything to redwashing corporations. They are cultivating a hyper-selfish mainstream culture based on digital clout. They are pseudocollectivist. They are not all the way in that direction but I see the trend line. It's getting aggressive and increasingly top-down.
I think with the third parties there is less corruption. I think there is a lot of good to be done with the green party.
