  • Scientists warn of 'societal collapse' on Earth with worsening climate situation

    Jump

  • Anyone suggesting that societal collapse is a good outcome doesn’t really understand what societal collapse entails.

    Anyone who says preserving the status quo is a viable outcome doesnt really understand how high the cost of that status quo is.

    Participating in an Ethnic cleansing of a group that is 26% of the humans on the planet will end in tears for us, and pull this country inexorably rightward as we respond to its effects. Even now just a few Yemeni missiles on cargo ships in the Suez has upended Americans faith in the dems by raising prices. Thats with true pushback having not even begun yet. DNC leadership and dem voters are not taking the long view on this. Why dont you think long term and tell me what you see 8 years into the future.

  • Obama pushing Obamacare is a big part of how we won back the house in 2018. Policies that directly help the American people are somehow very popular with the dem and independent voters, go figure.

    "Reaching across the aisle" and getting watered down bullshit outcomes is not popular.

  • He's never been in favor of it. The only reason he has a leg to stand on in the health care debate is that Obama took a stand and forced him to as part of being VP. Before that Biden was running as the guy who wanted to lower the age of medicare eligibility, and that was the full extent of his health care aspirations. This is when insurance was denying women coverage when they got pregnant, and health care was simply out of reach for the poor so you could die of very treatable medical needs, as if this was a country without resources to do any better.

    He toed the line during Obamas terms, and now he's back to having very limited aspirations-- to nibble around the edge of problems and call it incremental change, but never aspire to take on any bigger changes directly. call it whatever it is, it amounts to the same outcomes: is it how a candidate fleeces the health care companies for donations?, or is it indifference?, or cowardice? In the end its the outcomes that matter with these things, not what a politician says. Words are just air.

  • I'd imagine the spermicide exists to ensure the lubricant on the condom doesnt act as a transport for sperm, not as a primary method of efficacy.

    Looking at it as a mechanical problem: Sometimes in condom usage, I've noticed that a little air that gets sucked into the condom, and then works its way out again. So clearly theres some limited fluid exchange possible at the base of the shaft, which may then end up as sperm in places its not intended to be as the use of the condom continues.

  • Russia has said they are going to do asymetrical warfare with the west. So why should we not prepare for what they claim they will do? Russians arent owed anything by us. Not a seat at the table, not a chance to contribute to open source software, not to be listened to. Not rights beyond their borders. It doesnt matter if they are nice. Its not our job and not realistic to expend time and resources to take each individual russian's personal measure and apply sanctions onesey twosey on the bad ones. If they dont like it they should take it up with their motherland and get it sorted. I think we should immediately shut down all visas of any kind with Russia. The fact that the US is still allowing them to vacation here is absurd.

  • The zionist ideology has no relation to ancient Judaism.

    I dont agree. Contrast the zionists with the zealots faction toward the end of the second temple period. The zealots and the zionists are essentially the same group. The zealots genocided the whole region in their time: Roman, Greek, Arabs alike. More than a million murdered to build a "new Israel". The Romans marched in and counter-genocided their asses.

    Jewish-Roman wars [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish–Roman_wars] Kitos War [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitos_War]

    Ever hear zionists bellyache about how unfair it is that they have been kicked out of countries? After the zionist rebels genocided 240,000 greeks in Cyrpus-- Rome took Cyprus back and jews were unwelcome on the island, even if they came by shipwreck, on pain of death. I think thats an understandable outcome considering how few people bring up WHY that outcome occurred.

    This is exactly what people mean when they say its perilous to forget our history. This is a repeat of the jewish-roman wars, again with the genocide and land theft.

  • Well take a minute to read about the jewish roman wars on wikipedia and get back to me. The history of the zealots faction is one of terrorism and genocide and thats just a fact.We cant just pretend history doesnt exist.Nor can we pretend the killing of innocents in the middle east right now is ethical or justified.Nor can we pretend that pushing back on the extremist wing of far right Judaism equates to antisemitism against all jews.

    If you want to play at verbal gymnastics and call that anti semitism go ahead, I couldnt care less-- it just makes me take you all the less seriously when you try to pervert language like that. That word has been flung around as a shield for all kinds of criminal immoral nonsense and its lost the meaning it used to have. Its just a lazy crybully propoganda defense these days.

  • As though we just do societal collapse on Wednesday and then start living our best lives on Thursday?

    Commenter never said that. So you're just strawmannning. Do you honestly think capiatlism and consumerism will do an about face and start taking care of the rapidly degrading environment? If not, it would seem that we then we need to change how we behave, soon-- right? Accelerationists are at least doing something, even if it may not be the right plan, while you are whining to keep the exact status quo going thats killing us all, and doing nothing to improve things .

    To use a metaphor: dont criticise the fat guy working out at the gym while you youself are sitting on your butt, are also fat and have ice cream on your face. If you want to criticise, get off your ass and get to work on something better. Otherwise shut it and let the adults figure out how to save your ass while you do nothing.

    Jump

  • agreed, but you put people in a murderous pressure cooker and keep turning up the heat and it'll expode. Thats part of the burden of being in charge. It speaks to motive and I asribe a lot of the blame to Israel for what happened on Oct 7. You dont oppress people to that level for 80 years and then act surprised when they lose their minds over it.

  • the polls don’t matter

    they should matter to Harris, who has the power to abandon some Biden baggage weighing her down. Like those pesky war enabling weapons shipments. But hey, if she wants to throw the election then theres nothing we voters can do to stop her. Just remember who had the chance and chose not take it, come nov 4. Its up to her now.
