A little more detail. I marked 4 of the 5 largest extinction events. Crossing the purple line shown in the diagram resulted in extinction events throughout Earth's past. This is about 5C from where we are today. If we cross that threshold, the feedbacks might become overwhelming.

@leafmoding Remind me again how many democrats have openly condemned the actions of i*rael so far? We're at a point when Tucker Carlson has just made a two hour long video explaining just how entrenched "they" are in US politics but the nice centrist dems have had their mouth shut tight.

Awfully privileged to turn your nose up and say "the dems need to EARN my vote" when you know Project 2025 is the alternative. Awfully bold to then go on and perform as if you care at all about the people impacted by the results of your indifference.
dead domain@DomainDead

For liberals it seems to be a genuine impossibility that politicians should have to EARN your vote instead of just being owed our fealty in a never ending billionaire class popularity contest where we have no agency.

@estherzelda0514 The problem is that Congress falls in line to support a pedophile fascist when a minority of Americans support fascism while Congress fights tooth and nail against Universal healthcare, childcare, etc. when a majority of American support universal healthcare.

The root of my frustration with radical politics is that it's not radical at all. There is no contemplation of what real change would require or look like, or they would all concede that voting and harm reduction are perhaps the most effective tools at their disposal, and should at least be utilized as part of a larger plan, simply because voting in a democracy like America is typically simple. Then we would be in much better circumstances, and many more people would have the license to actually cooperate with visionaries without paying a political price. But instead, the supposed "radicals" have aligned with the premise of doing nothing, and being extremely annoying while also doing that. This makes them nihilists at worst and extremely stupid and lazy at best. But the point remains that they are hardly the demographic you'd associate with getting anything done, or even proposing anything interesting to be done. So you have a situation where the "radicals" are actually just moral scolds that do nothing except annoy people, and that means those that are capable of innovative thoughts or getting anything done will tend to avoid them as a matter of principle. Ironically, this creates a world where we're all very stuck on a path of slow decline, which is not exactly consistent with change or revolution. But then again, explaining to a "radical" the concept of revealed preferences is likely to have you be called incomprehensible psuedo-academic names, so I understand why nobody really bothers.

Well I was told we didn’t need to vote because there would be a revolution if things got bad. So, I assume that’s happening? Any minute now.

Every time something like this pops up we get a round from the libertarian fraction making the ‘if it requires labor of others it can’t be A Right’ point. Which, to be clear, I agree with!, but gets kind of old (and many just *will never* buy into) I think really what we need is a word different from ‘right’ to refer to such things. Okay, so health care isn’t/can’t be ‘a right’. But it’s still good! And we want everyone to have it! At least to some basic level. That would be good, right? We all agree? Maybe ‘social good’? Health care is a social good.
European Commission@EU_Commission

Healthcare is a basic right. Not a privilege. Not a luxury. This World Health Day, we stand for access, protection, and care for all.

@caitoz One would think that Iran being on “the list” for decades that the US military would have had a plan regarding Iran. Clearly they don’t have a workable plan which makes one think that the military never thought attacking Iran was a good idea to bother having a plan.

The actual, official 2024 Democratic Party platform accused Trump of "fecklessness and weakness" for failing to go to war with Iran during his first term. Kamala Harris labeled Iran the #1 enemy of the United States. In their 2024 debate, Harris repeatedly slammed Trump for being too soft on America's enemies and announced that she "will always give Israel the ability to defend itself, in particular as it relates to Iran and any threat that Iran and its proxies pose to Israel." There was no "plan" for avoiding this. Your people wanted this war as much as Trump and his handlers did. That's why they're doing nothing right now.

I’m hearing that the plan all along was to keep the Democrats out of power, and then, once they’re out of power, to tell them to Do Something

@RachelBitecofer Supporting the genocide caused Harris to lose. The primary protest vote made that clear. Eliminating Hamas in Gaza is like eliminating racists in the US, not possible, unless you kill everyone or actually pursue egalitarianism.

You’ll never sell me on the idea that Ds would have been any better off with a primary in 2024. From Oct 2023, Gaza would have taken center stage and the candidate would have had to be a Hamas apologist to avoid having the crowd chant “genocider!” at them.

@151Call Harris lost the popular vote. Democrats have an approximate 3,000,000 voter buffer before they lose the popular vote. She lost EVERY swing state and her opponent was a cartoon villain. She lost in the modern day version of a landslide.

Periodic reminder that Rashida Taliban is not actually a democrat. She refused to support Hillary Clinton, President Biden or VP Harris. So I don’t give a damn who she supports in the Michigan primary, because she’s not a democrat.

Bitcoin’s energy black hole could sink it - and no one’s talking about it enough. I’ve long argued that Bitcoin’s proof-of-work relies on insane energy consumption to keep the network secure. That same feature turns into a fatal flaw as the world clamps down on carbon emissions and energy waste. Will this kill crypto’s momentum? #Bitcoin #Crypto #EnergyCrisis #Economics #FinancialInstability

Rock Chartrand🤑@RockChartrand·
Capitalism is far more social than socialism ever was. Capitalism is built on voluntary interaction. Every transaction requires agreement, cooperation, and mutual benefit. You don’t get anything unless you offer value to someone else. It’s constant, peaceful coordination between individuals. Socialism replaces that with coercion. It doesn’t ask, it mandates. It doesn’t rely on agreement, it relies on enforcement. The ‘social’ part isn’t people working together, it’s people being forced into the same arrangement whether they agree or not. So one system runs on consent and cooperation. The other runs on compliance and control. That’s what real anti social behavior looks like.

@Jstudent15 voting for a loser and making everything worse for everyone isn't demanding better of your politicians. if any of you had real balls or really cared... you'd start a viable third party and do the work or run yourself, instead of just complaining about eveyone and opting out
