4·6 days agoPretty cool mirror symmetry with solar above and carbon cloud below. That is also an impressive way to convey the information along with the stats. Good symbol design.
Ok, check the stat sources. Right. I’m betting they are valid just thinking about how much fossil fuels are expended in a war, how much all those bombs and weapons cost, and how good solar can be in a sunny climate like the US Southwest or the Middle East.
I think the essential point is, rather, instead of being destructive abroad, we could be productive at home. We could use our resources to improve life here instead of being complicit in taking the lives of others.
How is “this” an oversimplification exactly? Yes, there is an interrelationship between the factors you quote. Yes, short-term spending on the military might improve the economy initially, but, like the quote says, the effect is nonlinear and inhibits growth in the long run.
Your quote supports rather than refutes the claim of this activist infographic. I would have to delve deeper into their sourcing, but the position is still strong overall.
Instead of using war to stimulate the economy, a Green New Deal could and the benefit would be sustained long term. It just takes large-scale leadership.
What claim is not true? There are several claims. You just deny it and that suffices, Kai Ro? The “moment” is rigged for you.
…anyway, this is some of the most well-done activist artworks I have seen. Great divestment and ecological message from the indigenous community and great style conveying and adorning that message.
Are you a Civil War monuments guy? That’s what it sounds like. Want to explain?
And, hey, since you have that user @name, can you tell me why cops just want to jack slaves (pr0n sheep autonomata) but constantly complain about how singles should be living according to monastic requirements. Then cops/Responders say people are not rare pedos like them so we shouldn’t reproduce and that we should be ashamed of natural biological drives. They don’t make sense to me. They just want to surveil us and be completely worthless and counterproductive but say that since they are the government, it is OK for them to.
some podcasts about research and history of how psychedelics and the counterculture contributed to the development of the internet and computing technologies rather than just make everyone “stupid” (like cops^1 and the DOD^2) ---->

Police and the military are a far more stupid matter.
1·15 days agoWhere do all the missing go? Have you seen the statistics? https://globalmissingkids.org They’re not missing really. It was the very cops, agencies, and Responders who committed these heinous crimes that did something to all those children. It fits. It is just like them.

Continuing the count of cops and Responders arrested for child sex abuse, rape, and cp. People need to know about this! How dare they accuse us and smear us for no wrong doing when THEY have been convicted of the worst crimes. There is a definite, ample pattern. https://lemmy.world/post/14225156
The vast majority of attractive people in the world don’t think weed = never have a date the rest of your life and endless berate you. I never do drugs of any kind ever, nor ever have, but I think it is idiotic how some contingent in fascist “LE” is still fighting the Vietnam era counterculture and is obsessed with weed. Here is the Fearless Leader himself: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/16/us/politics/marijuana-schedule-drug-biden.html
Weed does not cause cerebral hemorrhages. If some one thinks critically of government, it does not necessarily mean they are on drugs. “LE” is a power-tripping crackpot.
You may refer to me as your Highness, Most Exalted AF.
Definitely never inferior or low. The Responders are for, that is, their only valid function is, doing my dishes! They are so low low low!
Don’t know why you quote. Is someone out there extra-judicially, beyond statutes, absolutely enforcing imaginary crimes with a space weapon or something? Weirdo. He should never have another a date the rest of his life!
or just be nonprofit and enjoy the fair use, criticality, education, and information of the digital commons!
Most treaties with the original owners (American Indians) were broken and ignored.
Of course, the indigenous did not have the same ideas about “ownership,” preferring open prairies, for example, instead of fences. “We do not own the land, the land owns us.” Why do you possess it? Other causes external to yourself created it and sustain it. It all belongs to Sun-Water. Somehow, owners forget all the externalities and sudden break endless causal chains, contingencies and dependencies, and say they solely deserve it and it belongs exclusively to them.
Then again, there were Europeans who thought “property is theft” and threw off feudalism. Why should the Lord own our labors and lands, they thought?
Imagine if you or I turned the tables and had a Manifest Destiny today.
Ownership is a strange concept. There was a commons when there was a King and Crown. Now there is supposed to be no King but there is no Commons, only Lords with dubious claim gained by trickery and inequity.
If someone really cared about Palestine, they would really have a hard time voting for Biden unless they are misinformed.
Have you heard of third parties? https://www.cornelwest2024.com/
New Zealand has a multiparty system. They are intelligence allies that do just fine.
Heinlein makes some good points about party unity, which I think is your concern. Got to win the fight. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_Back_Your_Government
Socialist? Conservative? Libertarian? It can get complicated sometimes. https://www.libertarianism.org/publications/essays/out-world-biography-robert-heinlein
But if you really care about Gaza, I have no idea what you would do on election day.
Who are the good guys according to you?
Biden is definitely behind Zionism.
You are non-white, non-affluent, and rural? Not sure what the demographics are of Lemmy or the Fediverse.
I suspect this server is largely libertarian and left-wing like much of Mastodon.
I think the libertarian (Right) has a lot of good points when it comes to net neutrality, National Security state overreach, and the First Amendment. Socially, I am more left leaning. Here is some thinking from Nader about why the left and the libertarian right might have more in common than they think.
Are you an Engineer? Seems reasonable to me. Do you have a calculation? https://www.pcmag.com/news/elon-musk-running-us-on-solar-requires-100-miles-square-of-panels You don’t think $14 Billion could power 40 million houses for a year with solar? How is that “saying nothing?” It’s saying money better spent constructively rather than destructively both to Palestinian civilians and the climate.
