Speeding is a scam that turns danger into wasted gas without getting you to your destination measurable faster

This is literally how im trying to play Elden Ring now

Not necessarily. There are indigenous societies from all across the world who were communist for millenia, and many who still strive for it while capitalism is forced upon them. They often are more anarchist in structure.

But even assuming that state power of some degree is required, there is a lot of room for debate about how much. Original commenter seemed concerned about authoritarianism, I assume that their understanding of communism is Stalin’s USSR. There are certainly ways to be auth/com without going that far, and that commenter may find those appealing.

Good

Not all communism is authoritarian

The cosmere has reached its halfway point. Mistborn era 1 is done. Mistborn era 2 is done. Stormlight is halfway done, and there is a sizeable gap between book 5 and the next book to be published, though it wont be enough to count as a separate era, most likely

Im not a scholar on china. I dont know a ton, and I dont know anything with a great degree of confidence. My understanding is that to some degree, they do human rights abuses much like the USA, Russia, UK, India etc. To my understanding, that’s just kind of a thing superpower countries do. I have enough on my hands dealing with the USA and all its problems. I value human dignity as the focal point of what a government should embody. If you can think of things they are doing thay go against that, that’s probably what id starr with. If you think that china is sufficiently defending human dignity without exception, id love to hear about that

Solarpunk is the fiction, the ideal. What China is doing in this regard is 1 version of an attempt to achieve it, and that’s great! Its not the only path forward and there is room for critique of every attempt.

As an anarchist, I would like less authoritarianism actually. But, as a solarpunk enthusiast and environmentalist, im in favor of this action by China. I believe that actions towards solarpunk and actions against government systems i dont like should be handled separately

Thats called lying

Its the cop-in-your-brain, which is of course all of the propaganda of the fascists. This is exactly what they want, and their choice rhetoric has worked its way into the leftist spaces to an extent

This is a better way of saying what I tried to say in my own comment

No no, it can stay stupidity. But hammer home that its not an improvement

Ren and Stimpy should never have been created. The best thing to ever happen to it was canceling it. It should stay dead.

So you’re saying that eliminating peoples utility bills, giving them more resources and hope, wont help the revolution and we should disregard renewable energy? That little steps towards a better more equitable world should not be advertised?

Renewable energy is still a commodity because we still don’t have enough renewable capacity to take care of all our energy needs. When renewable capacity hits 90%, you are going to see a massive shift in how energy is thought about

People who are poor and must expend all they have just getting by dont have the time or energy to join the revolution. If people have one less bill to worry about, they have more time for the revolution. It also means the capitalist system has less leverage to dangle over everyone’s head, because the access to electricity will be in their control

Its incredibly graphic. Much more so than the videos of Renee Goods murder.

Im very pro rooftop for this reason. The most efficient place to generate electricity is where it will be used. The more transmission you need, the higher the cost. If the majority of energy is generated at the point of use, or close to it, transmission lines are only needed to balance out the margins

Guess who just discovered Virtual Power Plants

I mean you can literally just kill your feed, often times remotely, if that is happening (and a problem for you)
