Probably something that doesn't blow up every 5-7 years or pushes us into a climate apocalypse.
- macspoofing 7y agoAgain. What is that thing? "Climate apocalypse" is a function of capitalism/"neoliberal economics" only insofar that this system provides things that make living nice and comfortable - like smart-phones, air-conditioning on hot days, heating in the winter, affordable air travel, meat, washing machines, etc - and there is no way to provide those things to 7 billion people without major impact on the environment. You can choose a system that makes everybody poor and consequently environmentally friendly - but do you really want to?
