  • There are 2 types of real carbon credits, easy credits and hard credits. The easy ones are cheap things like planting trees and efficiency programs, the hard credits are expensive, carbon capture tech that we haven’t perfected and will always be costly.

    Poor countries are attracted to the idea of selling their cheaply attained credits for money today. And why wouldn’t they? They are indebted and struggling. But it’s going to fuck them over in the future when they need credits for their own carbon accounting and they’re out of easy credits to make.

    No hate or judgment here, it’s just the next steps in how global imperialism will continue to fuck over these countries









  • India appears to be a country that contains multitudes and is hard to pin down. It has a problematically large contingent that is deeply islamaphobic. The country suffers from low regulation and prejudice as well as a shitty right wing president. But much of it is beautiful with rich culture. The prominent religions are pretty benign when compared to american christianity as far as I can tell

    No I’m not. Unfortunately one of the problems with tankies is they don’t call themselves that most of the time. But I can confidently claim I’m not because when a fellow leftist disagrees with me on 5% of something, I gently explain why I believe what I do, and then proceed to not be mad if the petty difference continues.
