I'm going to starve to death and my whole country is going to be constantly wrecked by hurricanes for what remains of history. Hundreds of millions of climate refugees will be gunned down, gassed, and left to die of a thousand new antibacterial resistant superbugs in dozens of Gaza-scale concentration camps. A billion more will starve. A nuclear war will start when the remaining imperialist countries understand that the climate catastrophe won't just stop in the Global South.
Anyway, American automotive stock is not as high as it hypothetically could be, because BYD is producing cheap, subsidized electric cars. That's what I'm really worried about right now.
Personally my takeaway from radicalization has been more of that- climate change, pandemics, even the threat of nuclear war, all of these cannot be ended without the death of empire.
Preach. You could tell me aliens are real and they're launching an invasion and I would still be more preoccupied with what the hell we're gonna do about ecosystem collapse. (not to diminish the importance of the genocide in Palestine, which when understood through a materialist analysis is just intrinsically linked to climate change anyway)
Is actually one of the most important factors when it comes to climate change right now.
Think about how many tons of carbon have been released by fighters bombing hospitals, and tanks tearing up roads in refugee camps. As bad as a coal power plant in China is for the climate, at least it is producing a tangible good, and is part of a greater mission to uplift people, improve their standard of living, on the path to zero emissions. We have burned millions of tons of carbon, with Israel, for the sole purpose of ethnic cleansing.
I don't understand how someone who is nominally literate and politically aware could write the words "more important than climate change".
I just don't.
Also if I was owned by Noah, even if it was a boring own, I would shave my beard and go live in a cave for 99 days to reflect on where I'd gone wrong in life.
Wait... wait I don't think Noah was trying to own him. I think that's a good faith question and Noah is just a complete ghoul.
I don't understand how someone who is nominally literate and politically aware could write the words "more important than climate change".
Techbros often say DAE LE "UNFRIENDLY AI" is more dangerous than climate change, and especially ignorant techbros like have fucking said wokeness is more dangerous than climate change many times over.
anyone that prioritises America (or any "nation") """""winning""""" over any other conceivable endeavour (except for ethnic cleansing) deserves to immediately be kinetically prosecuted
also i know the concern of your "nation" "winning" is usually the precursor to/is inherently linked to committing genocide, but i wanted to stop any libs in their tracks
You got a link? Can't really tell what he's trying to say here without context. Is it that the US should just give up because China is owning them so hard on electric cars? Is it that the US is economically dependent on oil and we should continue to use ICE cars regardless of if it kills everyone?
It's predicated on the old racist trope that Chinese steal everything and cannot invent anything of their own because both they are asiatic hordes and also communism no iphone. So it holds that if we hadn't invented them, they couldn't have stolen it and raced ahead of our plodding efforts and our existing advantage in ICE would be too great (by decades) for them to overcome from their starting position. Which is of course wrong, laughably so.
My reading was that the US has an technical advantage in ICE [doubt] so shouldn't have supported EVs which allowed China to gain ground at an early stage of the technology
