  • Iraq and Afghanistan had their militaries levelled in a matter of days. It's the occupation that created problems

  • It's neither of those things. Words have meanings, and legal terms have very specific meanings.

  • The law covers that also. All visible religious garments are forbidden.

  • The more sophisticated the system, the more sophisticated your method must be to break it. Eventually the means to break it will grow out of the reach of guerilla movements

  • It can't be that people are organically wanting to talk about a recently released triple A game by an old and relatively beloved game studio. They must be paid actors.

  • I'm not sure that using the entire QA staff of the world's largest agglomeration of Dev studios on a single game only qualifies as "not cutting corners". That's surely going above and beyond.

  • Young climate activist tells Greenpeace to drop ‘old-fashioned’ anti-nuclear stance

  • 8 billion people is absolutely sustainable, we could support significantly more at a modern standard of living with just the resources we use today. The problem is the way we organise how and where we live, and a parasitic owner class using and abusing vastly more resources than they could ever need.

    • Education
    • Opportunity
    • Help those who don't want to give birth not to give birth
    • Reduce the influence of religion that promotes childbirth and irresponsible family planning
    • Reduce the influence of pressure to grow in every way that is likely exacerbated by capitalism

    And if after all that people still want to have children?

    Nature will bring our numbers to sustainable levels if we don't do it. Nature will not be so kind.

    Let it try, we'll see who wins.

  • And it is you who calls someone fascist?

    Fascism is when you improve people's living conditions.

  • The axis is authoritarian-libertarian, not liberal. The definition might be different in common parlance, but people not understanding terms in political science through ignorance is not a reason not to use them.

    A liberal socialist is a subset of liberals, the same as social democrats and social liberalism.

    You cannot seek to preserve capitalism and also be a socialist.

  • And to Germany's communist party, fascists were also distasteful, bigots, and extremists, and they would lead to the collapse of capitalism.

    This would be a good mirroring response if it had any amount of truth to it. To the Communists in Germany, the fascists were their mortal enemy. The two parties were fighting in the streets. The Communists saw the fascists as a capitalist system, they certainly were not under the impression that fascism would bring about the end of capitalism.

    A declaration by the Communists that the Fascists would collapse under their own contradictions is not evidence to the contrary, or evidence that the German communists tolerated the fascists.

    Liberal and libertarian are not the same thing and cannot be conflated, and authoritarianism isn't anything with a state.

    I swear, the political compass has rotted people's brains.

  • Firstly, liberals are not left of centre, they are the original capitalists, the ideology that socialism was built in opposition to.

    Secondly, Liberals will always side with fascists when push comes to shove. To liberals, Fascists are distasteful, bigots and extremists, however, fascism does not threaten the liberal system. It does not threaten the liberal ruling class, at least inherently, whereas socialism is an existential threat to that class. To a liberal economy, to a liberal nation.

  • The pyramids have chambers that were unopened for over four thousand years, bone dry inside. Pick an area with very little rainfall, surround it with rock and the problem will stop existing on human timescales.

  • Not hugely. Actual nuclear waste, not just mildly radioactive uniforms and similar material, is extremely small and compact for the amount of energy generated.

  • The source you linked talks about uranium reserves. Mineral reserves, known and unknown deposits, refer explicitly to the known amount of economically minable supplies of that mineral.

    Discussion around them can be misleading, especially for a growing industry, because as a resource becomes more scarce, it becomes more economically viable to mine difficult deposits, this growing the reserve. On top of that, the effort and technology tend to yield new methods of both mining and refining that increase yields.

  • Eco-fascist outcomes come from Eco-fascist methods. How do you propose to accomplish this degrowth without subjecting the world's population to genocide and privation?

    Human nature is to strive, to fight for a better life for themselves and their communities. The preservation of agrarian lifestyles and "harmony with the planet" a bunch of backwards romantics push is not more important than the betterment of the species, no matter how much people cry about it.

    If people need to live in dense cities, then they will live in dense cities.
