You take comfort in the fact that I am going to be tortured and r*ped to death in men’s prison, like CIA-backed death squads used to do to communists in Latin America and Southeast Asia - and those were “”“tankies”“”, supporters of and sometimes supported by China and the USSR. That’s the fate you want for me, and you want it so badly that you’d happily die to make it happen.

Talking to you is self harm. I hope you wake up to the real danger we’re all in before we all fucking die.

Idaho just passed a bathroom bill making it illegal for trans women to use the women’s restroom. It comes with jail penalties, and the Trump regime has issued rules saying that trans women who are incarcerated do not get access to hormones and are to be placed into men’s facilities. The same regime is also putting people with “radical gender ideology” onto the FBI terror watch list.

This is happening right now. They’re going to kill me first, and you’ll cheer. As you’ve already said you want me to die.

And then they’re going to come for you, and there won’t be anyone left to speak out for you. Start taking this seriously.

Sure, but it’s important that people know Israel is the exception. They always are.

Not exactly - this actually came up in court before. In 2005 they dismissed a case brought against AIPAC to force them to register, even though this law is supposed to apply to lobbying groups that represent foreign interests.

We’re literally being put on the FBI terrorism watch list. The government is out to get me.

And you love it. If there’s one thing liberals and fascist agree on, it’s killing people like me.

Okay, I’ll tell you what the fascists are going to do to me. I won’t just be killed immediately. I’m trans. They’ll take away my hormones and put me in men’s prison, and what do you think they’ll do to me in men’s prison? Yankees looove to make jokes about it, everyone knows what will happen to women like me. I probably won’t even survive to my execution.

And you love it. My only crime is having an opinion that’s different from yours on China, and you’d happily die just for me to face a fate worse than death.

If you do work for a foreign government in the United States, you have to register as such with the US government.

Unless it’s Israel.

Since you won’t answer the question, I guess I have to assume you love jeebus, love capitalism, and love 'murica.

You’d better, because if you don’t, they’re going to fucking kill you. You’ll die because you refused to put aside sectarian differences because you believe, somehow, you can defeat US fascism without working together with the US’s enemies.

We hang together or they’ll hang us separately.

I can recognize what the bigger problem is. Don’t you believe in supporting the lesser evil?

We hang together or they’ll hang us separately.

Answer the question: “anti-Christian,” “anti-capitalism” or “anti-American” - do you fit any of those?

Because you’ll die in a camp right beside me unless we work together. When the US starts rounding up dissidents into camps, US enemies are going to be the only ones that might help us. Europe won’t dare disagree with daddy.

Uh huh. Well, the Trump administration is officially designating anyone with “anti-Christian,” “anti-capitalism” or “anti-American” views as a terrorist. Do you fit any of those? Then you’ll put put in the concentration camp right along side of me unless we fucking together and you stop punching left.

Claiming that the Al-Aqsa Flood didn’t occur is antisemitic, and also erases heroic Palestinian resistance.

But Israel 100% deserved it and Zionism is a genocidal ideology. Zionists rape Palestinians in their torture dungeons.

If there’s one thing liberals and fascists agree on, it’s that communists aren’t human.

I would like to point out that Democrats consistently vote to increase the military budget, even when Trump is president. The most recent defense authorization act received 115 yes votes from Democrats to 94 no votes. On domestic issues you can make the argument that Democrats are a lesser evil, but when it comes to the empire the evil is bipartisan.

The main difference between Republicans and Democrats on foreign policy is that Democrats are better at it.

That’s not good. Iran was in really bad shape before the war started, another few years of the maximum pressure sanctions campaign and they’d eventually be dealing with enough civil unrest that justifying a “humanitarian intervention” would be possible. Instead of the US and Israel attacking on their own, NATO would have helped topple the government like they did in Libya.

Instead we got Republicans, who fumbled this so hard that Iran is winning and on the cusp of being a regional hegemon. The US empire is spiraling towards collapse at this rate and I am 100% here for it.

That’s only if the system doesn’t use evaporative cooling, which most of them do since it requires a lot more cooling infrastructure to not rely on evaporation. Instead of the water evaporating in the cooling tower it’d have to sit for much longer in a cooling tank to allow the heat to radiate away, and that’s a very slow process.

Since the article doesn’t mention it, the obvious reason is the energy crisis changing the conditions for negotiation. Supply disruptions will strangle Europe in the coming weeks, putting immense pressure on their coalition to make territorial concessions.

Plastic is a hard problem to solve since meaningfully recycling most of it requires a expensive energy and chemical inputs.

Also, I’m running into some weird math. Doing some light searching, China’s plastic consumption demand will reach a peak at 119 million tons in 2030. That means their recycling target will be able to meet 16% of total plastic demand in China, but for comparison, China recycles 17% of it’s plastic today. I doubt China is aiming for plastic recycling to remain about the same if it’s supposed to be a new national target - I guess they might not be looking to increase the percentage of recycled plastic and are only interested in keeping up with demand? Or, probably likely, something is wrong with my sources because I can’t get behind paywalls. 🤷‍♀️

That’s kind of like saying that your untreated cancer was fine a year ago because you were healthy for the most part.

Can’t. Wind power is woke.

A ton of these “proposed” data centers are basically fraud - part of a confidence game.

They’re never actually getting built, they’re just lying to get people to give them money.
