So the argument in that link is "everyone else was homophobic too so it's okay", and I need to stress that that is not unshakeably principled behaviour. That is an example of shaken principles. If your defence of Stalin is "he was only as bad as the capitalists", he's still shit.
One who takes the lives of the poor and the nonhuman as though they were property is of the owning class. Eating meat and driving a car is bourgeois. Only one who rejects their privilege to take the lives of others through property relations is a worker.
What you don't have the right to is someone else to provide for you if you don't give anything back
Yes you do. Lots of people are on disability benefits, unemployment, a pension, or are literal children. And those programs should be expanded to cover everyone who doesn't work, not just those who can justify their existence to a government form.
Mastodon is just a bunch of news articles and people talking like robots. I try to engage and there's fucking nothing I care about. Anything actually interesting is like half a thought. Like they started talking about a topic but didn't get to the point before they decided to hit post. Posts from popular accounts talk about electoral politics in a weird clipped manner like a newspaper but even more boring.
Same day delivery is not a significant factor in anyone's quality of life. We can slow down society to a human pace, and people's lives will get better. We can ban cars, and people's lives will get better.
We would need to sacrifice a significant amount of living standard to stop it right now,
No we wouldn't. Tax the rich and use the money to pay for green energy infrastructure, public transit, and denser housing. Boom, instant increase in jobs, transport options, and quality of life once the new walkable housing is done.
Tackling climate change is easy and it will make our lives better.
