Their closeness to the current US government is a cause for concern, it doesn't alleviate it.

AC is a bandaid that only makes the systemic problem worse. I don't know how it's become such a culture war gotcha. Yes, I have AC myself and yes, it makes things more bearable. But it won't refill our rivers, it won't m

You're moving the goalposts. I'm not criticizing people wanting to eat meat or milk. I'm criticizing making it ones entire point of living . Is there really nothing else going on for you? Meat and milk all you have to live f

You think there's no point in living if you can't eat meat and milk? Is there really nothing else going on in your life? I'm sorry.

The rational and logical is mostly an aesthetic preference, not lived value. HN leans strongly reactionary and just likes to dress it up a bit so as to appear more respectable.

They must be "effective" "altruists". The only way to do good is to first do all the bad and consolidate power, so you can then use all that power to do good, pinkie promise!

> The alternative is the government owning everything from the start, which is worse. Why? That's just an assertion with no backing. If the government is democratically elected, how is democratic control over resources worse than a

Those decades of working capitalism in Germany were subsidized by cheap Gastarbeiter labor from Southern and Eastern Europe, and cheap Eastern Bloc manufactured goods on unfavorable terms. In the US, they were subsidized by overthrowing dem

The only one that sounds racist is you, espousing Great Replacement conspiracy theories. But you know that and now that you've fully run out of talking points, there's nothing left but projection. This has become thoroughly unprod

They'd consider themselves Croatian and Serbian. Whiteness is an American construct that is absolutely meaningless and smushes literal millenia of history into OBE category because your country's history is so short. Please refrai
