It doesn’t seem to be what’s happening here, but I’ve seen wooded areas clear cut for large scale solar farms before. That’s completely missing the point of green energy IMO and I can see why some would oppose it.

Isn’t OPS relatively easy to interview in to?

Many of the good private trackers have very active request sections too. Really obscure or old stuff may not be readily available, but with a decent bounty (if required) someone will probably be able to find them for you.

I just recently finished The Dispossessed (as well as the other Hainish novels) and I thoroughly loved it. Le Guin is an incredible writer and so imaginative in her depiction of an anarchic society and it’s challenges. All of her other books I’ve ever read have antihierarchical or at least anticapitalist themes too, although in a less overt way than The Dispossessed.

I’ve been loving everything from Annapurna ever since I realized that the same studio made Nimona and Stray.

From reading about PieFed’s moderation tools linked elsewhere in this thread, seems like the solution to that is already built in more explicitly for them.

like this?

The one dandelion leaf really pulls it all together

What a joke lol

To my knowledge, most of the big names in traditional PV “string” inverters have a hybrid/battery option configurable for backup power or self-usage with varying degrees of control. Lots are even configurable for efficiency with time based electricity cost fluctuations.

Fuck yea, animal liberation all the way. Not sure why you’re using that to defend capitalism tho. Doesn’t really feel like a good faith comment to make.

You can not be an anarchist while supporting the hierarchical system of capitalism. Full stop.

They both got silver if I’m not mistaken

You’re completely discounting the struggles of the many people that have fought their entire lives against persecution and for self determination. There is a long and storied history of this in the US south and it continues today. Just because the job isn’t done yet doesn’t mean nobody’s working to stop fascism.

By having a minority vote them in. Voter turnout is notoriously low in many southern states, especially the reliably red ones.

I will condemn any bigot, fascist, reactionary, colonizer, and religious or ethno-nationalist.

Believe it or not though, those people are a loud minority in many parts of the south. When you generalize people based on what region they’re from, good people get caught in the crossfire.

Yes genocide is clearly the answer. /s

As long as the “they” you refer to is “the… people that elect [backwards governments]” as you put it - I’m in total agreement.

The majority of southerners didn’t elect anyone though. Its specifically lumping the people most harmed by those backwards people in with them that I don’t want to happen. That distinction may seem obvious enough to you to not be worth mentioning, but I promise it isn’t obvious to everyone.

No victim complex. I hadn’t seen anything here that I found distasteful. I don’t have a problem with the OP either. I said what I meant and nothing more. “I sure hope this thread doesn’t devolve…” doesn’t mean that it has or even that I expect it to. I have seen it before in this community however. Some people build up this idea in their head of the southern states being filled with hateful fascists, and they’re right to a degree. Its also filled with pockets of disenfranchised and oppressed people. Maybe I’m an optimist or idealist, but that’s the view I like to hold. I just like to try pushing the conversation away from attacking southern/rural people who are wholely harmed by the policies of a loud minority of bigots.

Nice to see some nuance. This is how you criticize the establishment powers in an area plagued by fascism.
