I came here from Reddit
I have no idea what I’m doing but I never do xD
I study environmental science and I have interests in cycling, climate action, video games and many other things.
I wonder what was said in the meeting because wager was steam rolling. It smells like it was preplanned with the Russian state
Ever since the Reddit shitshow a lot of the decent people left leaving the bigots.
No it does not, 70% of emissions is by corporations
No it’s not EVs are 60% less polluting than fuel vehicles, it’s irrelevant if you buy it used because it’s history is part of its impact.
The over arching problem is there’s too many vehicles on the road, most people including Americans when they drive only drive up to 3 miles.
I’m iffy about Lenin too. Marx and Engels wrote about bottom up socialism but Lenin came along and basically said the working class is too stupid for a socialist revolution and opted for top down socialism which led to authoritarian socialism and state capitalism.
Our neolib capitalist society is top down governance which is why I highly oppose everything that isn’t bottom up socialism
I’m not sure, I like to think of myself as an abolitionist but the more I think about it the more I can’t make my mind up.
I think a socialist society is going to need some form of police or a rapid response service like firefighting, and ambulance to get to emergencies but I don’t think this service needs to be wandering the streets like the police does today and also removing what they do to only dealing with violent crimes like someone getting attacked for example everything else they do should be its own service like a mental health response team, a road accident response team etc
Ideally most crime should be “solved” because everyone would and should have all their needs met and a similar start in life with the same opportunities without worrying about if you can afford it or not.
Quite literally most that are in English are US centric. Second Thought and First Thought does theory and news.
No horseshoe theory is not confirmed lol
Capitalism has already taken away my ability to buy enough food, afford transport etc the people who argue in favour of capitalism always uses the negativity of capitalism and applies it so socialism it’s fucking stupid.
Yes it cannot be saved because by nature it’s contradictory and exploitative, all of the problems are caused by capitalism because without those problems people would be able to question for another system.
This is a step in the right direction, but because phones are now extremely sophisticated they frequent need security updates, but phone manufacturers only support a phone for about 3 years that also needs tackling because that will also help reduce ewaste.
I’m not on Lemmy but kbin and it’s been like that here as well, and from what I understand it’s due to a mass of users from reddit slowing everything down and setting off ddos protections.
All of the subreddits I frequent all stated they’re closing the subreddits down and deleting their accounts so there’s no reason for me to be on Reddit anymore and I can’t justify staying on the platform when Reddit is acting the way it is.
It’s sad still, but now I’m trying to learn about fediverse and try new things.
Just like the discourse to sanitise pride so it’s family friendly, all this is about is trying to make their platforms “family friendly” to attract advertisers and that’s it.
