- malermeister 4y agoHow is getting rid of annoying ads at night "normalizing poverty"?
- fzfaa 4y agoBecause it's done in the name of energy savings and the only reason that we all have to save energy is so the political elites of the West can play Risk against Russia.
- malermeister 4y agoWe have to save energy to soften the blow of the climate catastrophe. The Russian imperialist aggression is just an additional selling point.
- fzfaa 4y agoSaving energy means stopping growth. The West stopping growth while China, India, etc. grow uncontrollably because they don't give a crap about the stupid climate plight will be our downfall.
- ClumsyPilot 4y agoIndia? Average Indian emits 1/10th of what an average american does! This is hypocracy, ignorance, and whataboutism China is on track to meet it's climate goals, 90% of electric busses in the world operate there, they have been top investor in renewables for many years. And they are still growing. Why do you never mention gulf states that emit 10 times more than an average french person does. Meanwhile UK has refused planning permissin for 24 privately funded and paid for solar farms because they look ugly, banned onshore wind because it looks ugly and getting applorval for simplest construction project takes 4 years.
- RalfWausE 4y agoNo problem if china or india gives a crap about the climate... the climate very much too gives a crap about them so they will HAVE to do something if enough people starve and enough infrastructure is destroyed by catastrophes
- malermeister 4y agoWho cares about India or China or whatever. They're all gonna die if they don't change their ways. The climate plight will be our downfall, but not because of silly squabbles like you describe, but because the mindset you have is inherently extinctionist. Uncontrollable growth is a characteristic of cancer, not something to aspire to.
- kmlx 4y ago> We have to save energy to soften the blow of the climate catastrophe. this is the wrong take. you can have as much energy as you want. you just need better politicians. so your political actors failed. own up to it and replace them.
- immibis 4y ago... you believe it is the west's fault that Putin felt like genociding a bunch of people?
- dontlaugh 4y agoIt is definitely the West's fault for engineering the 2014 Euromaidan coup, which began a campaign of terror and death against trade unionists and the people of the Donbas region, which continues to this day. It is also Putin's fault for invading further, instead of merely protecting the Donbas republics as they asked.
- HKH2 4y agoCan Russia protect the Donbas from being shelled if they don't invade further?
- immibis 4y agoRussia is the reason Donbas is being shelled.
- immibis 4y agoIt's the West's fault that the population of Ukraine wouldn't let a Russian puppet dictator of Ukraine ignore the wishes of the population of Ukraine? I wonder how you feel about Russia engineering the 8-year-old LPR/DPR "conflict".
- someguydave 4y agoImmigrate to America, we have issues but we have a future. Germany is going to have some very dark years in the near future.
- immibis 4y agoThe earth is going to normalize "poverty" (aka not being able to drink 3 dead dinosaurs a day) one way or another. I'd rather live in a place where people are already living sustainably, than a place that constantly overshoots and then collapses when the resources suddenly run out.
