Biden plans to address medical supply shortages by making them harder to obtain. 🙃

Normal people don’t use China as an adjective. They say “Chinese.” Don’t pretend this is fine.

The problem is that feedback loops start to kick in above 2°C so it doesn’t matter if the economy crashes.

In fact, in some cases that makes things even worse. One example is that without smokestacks and ships pumping out sulfur dioxide the albedo of the atmosphere will rapidly drop, which might cause immediate and rapid warming over a period of only a few years.

We could be pushed past 2.5°C or even 3°C without industrial forces contributing at all.

Or, alternatively, this might be part of a deal for France to flip. Turkey already did the same thing, so they wouldn’t be the first in NATO.

Zionism isn’t even religious. It’s ethno-nationalist.

I think old news can become news again when new developments occur.

What I’ll give you is that OP should have included those new developments in the body of the link, so that this conversation wouldn’t have to happen down in the comment section. I don’t think they were wrong to post it without that context, but it would have avoided our bickering.

Robot Makers Try to Reassure Public They're Legit After Elon Musk Fudged Demo (gizmodo.com)

Elon Musk became the butt of more than a few jokes after internet users pointed out Tesla’s robot demo wasn’t all it appeared to be. As it turns out, a video the billionaire posted of Optimus, the company’s much-hyped humanoid robot, was actually being controlled by a human slightly off-screen. And it’s interesting to...

The US and EU have no room to judge Israel, that’s true.

I sure as fuck can judge them, though, and I do and so should you.

China is very consistent on this issue bud.

I know that’s hard to believe when everyone else is so craven and two faced, but you should educate yourself on these topics before speaking.

He did it because his people demand it, so in a sense you’re right, but his people demanded it for humanitarian reasons.

It sounds like you are under the impression that imports are bad for the economy.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Immigration absolutely helps the US economy, because it parasitically siphons all the skilled workers out of other countries that it underdevelops and hoards their labor for itself.

People think remittances help underdeveloped countries, but labor is the superior of capital, losing that skilled labor is never worth the paltry sums that get sent back home. It’s just another shape that imperialism takes.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

People make their own history, but they do not make it as they please. Our material conditions limit our agency. We go where the jobs are, where the money is, where the possibilities for a better future are. Those are all choices.

But you can’t ignore the material conditions that lead to those choices. We aren’t just free floating agents in a sea of possibilities.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Yes, and the people who could develop that local opportunity aren’t there. They all leave as soon as they can.

That’s why I said they’re underdeveloped countries. They’re not “developing” in truth, but are being kept from becoming developed. How do you think that happens? In part it happens because of the IMF giving predatory loans and then imposing austerity on the people when the government can’t pay their loans back, but it also happens because labor is the superior of capital and these countries are losing skilled labor.

I am not blaming them for leaving their countries. I am blaming underdevelopment, which is a product of imperialism.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

I think you may have misspoke. You said I’m removing their agency. I did no such thing.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Don’t misunderstand, the people moving to the US are blameless. Imperialism works by siphoning up all of the skilled labor around the world for itself in order to make life better for people within the imperial core, and this is part of how the imperial nations underdevelop other countries. People get educations in their home countries (often at the government’s expense) and then they take that education out of the country to put it to use in the US (or France or Canada etc). They’re just going where the jobs are, though, that’s not their fault at all.

Egypt is also a useful case study, because the US props up its shitty government. That’s also part of how the Global South is underdeveloped, it’s a multifaceted machine that sucks out everyone who can help make the country better and gives support and resources to the people making it worse. It’s not just legacy from the 20’s and 50’s, this is an ongoing problem that is created by imperialism.

Also when a Global South government tries to solve its problems, such as through nationalizing resources or land reform, the US buries them under sanctions and attempts to make a regime change. This, too, is part of how imperialism underdevelops the Global South.

A large police contingent that showed up four hours into the attack waited in the grass across the quad for an hour as dozens more attacks occurred.

Were any of these Zionist rioters arrested?

@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

I guarantee if any anti-genocide protester defended themselves they’d be arrested.

That’s a much smaller number than I expected.

I’m skeptical that there’s been any inflation. All deaths that have been recorded have been directly identified, names and identification papers and everything. There’s no way to actually exaggerate, unless they’re hiding survivors somehow.

When Elon Musk tortures monkeys to death with brain chips it’s innovation, but when China does it it’s “controversial” and “concerning”

Politicians and dog experts vilify South Dakota governor after she writes about killing her dog (apnews.com)

Politicians and dog experts are criticizing South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem after she wrote in a new book about killing a rambunctious puppy. The story — and the vilification she received on social media — has some wondering whether she’s still a viable potential running mate for presumptive Republican presidential candidate...

@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

You’d have a point if she was raising dogs for slaughter, but there’s an extra layer of sociopathy to kill a nonhuman member of your own family.

Honestly incredible that Hamas has managed to keep them alive under the conditions of Israel’s siege.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

I think the reason it’s happening now is because of the growing protest movement against the genocide in Gaza.

All the other US media companies actively sensor pro-Palestine/anti-Israel content and TikTok doesn’t. Unacceptable!

Israel is dropping US bombs. 🙄

The cops start mass arrests regardless of aggression.

The colleges have relationships with the companies that make the bombs and have direct investments in Israel.

Okay, but then isn’t staying home also a vote for Biden by the same logic?

This isn’t a binary relation, there’s clearly three options (vote for Biden, vote for Trump, vote for neither).

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Why is it that staying home is a vote for Trump but it isn’t a vote for Biden. Doesn’t that seem strange to you?

And you’re right, it doesn’t make any sense, and that applies to staying home being a vote for Trump. The plurality of the country stays home, so Trump should win in a landslide, right? Yet he lost once. This seems like a glaring error in the idea that a protest vote is a vote for Trump.

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

I have never once heard someone suggest that staying home is a vote for Biden, but it’s pretty well agreed upon that not voting is a vote for Trump.

That’s the strange part! Why is staying home a vote for Trump but not a vote for Biden? What makes them different?

They already cast the only vote that matters as far as I’m concerned.

Here’s US Senator Pete Ricketts saying that we need to ban TikTok because pro-Palestine videos “have more reach than the top 10 US news websites combined”

The reason it’s succeeded now is because of Gaza. Crediting the election makes no sense, how does this help anyone’s election chances?

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

So why are Democrats doing this? This isn’t just a Republican thing, it’s bipartisan and Biden signed it. Why?

queermunist ,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

But only for those other reasons and definitely not because of TikTok being a hotbed of pro-Palestine/anti-Isrsel media content. Can’t be that, right? It’s just a coincidence. 🙄
