If only the consequences only applied to the people causing the issue. We’re all in the blast radius. I hope I live long enough to see hope returning. So far it’s just been a constant decline.

Organize. Sabotage. General strike. Protest. Political action isn’t one day every four years.

I’m sick of private ownership and private decision making about every fucking single aspect of human life from who gets housed to who gets fed to our very culture.

Americans “hate” dictatorships but allow the economy to be run by a bunch of Lords.

Socialism is the democratization of the economy. Socialism puts the human and the worker and the people most impacted by these economic decisions at the helm.

But no, democracy in the economy wouldn’t be free. We need to slave away for fascist dictators.

they’re too busy sanewashing totally normal ideas like seperating children from parents, tariffs on every import, and mass deportation. Totally rational positions squarely in the overton window.

What will they say about the concentration camps those immigrants are rounded up into? What will they say about the military being deployed to round up residents? I guess we’ll find out.

Taxing billionaires though, how radical

They’re both working for capitalists. Democrats bank on getting the support of capitalists that have morals. Unfortunately most capitalists, and the wealthiest capitalists, don’t. When both parties appeal to the same group but one gives them more of what they want unsurprisingly that’s the one that wins.

The working class is invisible because the working class is not organized.

waiting for a chance to elect the least shitty candidate every 4 years is how you got into this mess.

If we don’t organize and start taking direct action then nothing will change.

People need to join organizations in their community or labor unions and begin to directly sabotage the conservative agenda. General strikes should be something that the American left are actively planning right now.

Don’t sit down, stand up

The Democrats have been spoiling elections plenty on their own

white Christian males are also susceptible to measles and pollution and severe storms

That was with moderates and non-partisan civil servants playing interference on his worst ideas.

You remember everything that came out about how people would ignore his orders until he forgot?

None of those people will be there

hey man Cheney and Bush are monsters and we have to stop them by voting blue no matter who

checks calendar sorry I mean Cheney and Bush are moderate Republicans who endorse Kamala let’s give them a hand

The abortion issue is part of fascism. It creates a lower unequal class out of women.

Your thesis is that eventually Chinese will live extravagant lifestyles like the US and all own similar amounts of gas cars per household because that’s how the US developed.

Never mind that China is actively electrifying and building incredible amounts of public transit so it’s more likely their economy will scale in a green way as people live more urban lifestyles, closer to what you’d see in Europe and even beyond that due to electric rail and population density.

Yes if China was like 2 billion Americans you’d have a point I guess.

Which aspects of immigration are harming you?

It’s easy for me to say, but now is the time to stubbornly live and be present and visible and together. They want you dead, defy them.

A big portion of every country is rural, you’re not making the case you think you’re making.

Let’s look at other differences: China is still largely a manufacturing economy whereas the United States is a service economy.

They’ve built more rail transit in recent years than the United States has even attempted.

Their EV market share is significantly higher.

Seems the only thing you learned in school is blind nationalism

True I should thank you for teaching me that per capita statistics are useless for comparing nations.

You should go public with this information

dude you’re such a huge asshole. USA! USA! USA! keep building multi-decade lifespan LNG shipping infrastructure for your “bridge fuel” and suppressing cheap green energy.

Keep electing leaders paid for by fossil fuel companies

USA! USA! #1

did you get lost? I’m done with you

You’re here being an asshole with a chip on your shoulder so I’m giving you the same energy. Comparing the total output of a 2 billion pop nation with a nation 20% of that size is a pretty dumb way to compare statistics and the progress of a country’s green transition.

I can’t give you a stats curriculum on lemmy when you are also being a huge dick.

Buddy is a Western Patriot fighting the good fight. Go get em tiger, your emotional zeal is steadfast in the face of data and logic. America is truly amazing and the best at climate. You caught a vuvuzelan spy working for Xi.
