Non binary Environmental communist

  • You need to go back 15 years to an entirely different political climate to find a better trifecta, at which time we got decent climate legislation and the ACA which, again, 80% of elected dems wanted to better than the ACA. Before that, was 2 years under clinton which was last century.

  • Lol. Lmao. 2 years with the bare minimum to be a majority with 96% of the caucus being for it and 4% (2 people) being the reason it didnt happen, is plenty of chances?

  • Most libs want to provide free healthcare and fight climate change. Both items would reduce harm and suffering and genocide* domestically and abroad. *inequities health outcomes are tantamount to genocide; climate change also has genocidal effects

  • Hang on there, because with some issues, they do want to reduce the torment below current levels, and i think that should matter

  • Hey its fine if you want to believe you're right, we all think we are. Thats why we believe what we believe. But can you at least not call people libs for not wanting authoritarianism?

  • Hey so its actually that we have 2 years to uplift leftwing ideals until the general election, at which point we vote for the candidate who wants to bring the Torment Nexus levels down a little so that the Candidate who wants to double the Torment Nexus loses and we have a few years of lower torment while we uplift leftwing ideals again.

  • Oh I know it's connected, I simply lament it

  • 4chan is a psyop from the top, the trans panic is a distraction from the top, stuff like that

  • It would be nice if it wasnt concurrent with the climate crisis, but what can you do?

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

  • I had a bunch of friends talking about DS1 and I tried it, wasnt positive I liked how hard it was. Then I got to undeadburg and spent HOURS trying to beat Havel and the torus demon both. I ended up leveling to 60 in undeadburg. And after that, I did more of the same by getting stuck at hellkite drake. I eventually got the helkite drake sword and tried using that until I got to S&O. I was not smart, but i was dedicated.

  • This is literally how im trying to play Elden Ring now

  • Ive been calling them goons instead. Not because of any reasoning, its just what me and my friends have been using

  • Nay. Elden ring is good and works pretty well, but it still has a lot of empty space. Being able to access 70% of the map without killing a single enemy is neat, to an extent, but ultimately leads to a loss of clarity for new players, and the ability to skip large swaths of content through minor negligence.

    I much prefer the crafted gauntlet of dark souls 1 and 3. There is simply too much in Elden Ring for me to ever feel like I will master the game, whereas in dark souls 1, I can venture with confidence, as turn familiar corners and always know what I will find.

  • 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.

  • Only 5? We gotta do more to prevent fascism.

  • 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
