  • You do both. Nader could’ve been a real way out of this fucked up mess we still call the USA, had he not endlessly been pushed side to calls of “too soon, we need to stay focused”. End result is all this tactical voting turned out to be a great tactic for the right.

    Funny, and promoting the wrong idea. “Tactical voting” is the bane of democracy. If you’re against “third parties” you are, fundamentally, against choice and thus democracy.

    And if you’re adamant you are not, in fact, against democracy, then you must be trying your best to destroy the two-patwo-party system that corrupts democracy in the USA, right? And what better way to do that than to make third party options viable?



  • But really, humans have to stop emitting as much CO2eq. That’s it. There is no magic sciencey solution.

    For a starts, we need to shut down all coal mines and power factories, stop oil, reduce animal exploitation as much as possible, stop fast fashion and reduce AI to scientific uses.

    Nothing here is new or controversial, it’s just a bit boring, difficult, and goes against massive entrenched interests. That’s the hard part.

    But any approach that is banking on technological breakthroughs maybe helping us capture all the CO2 (and methane, and nitrous oxide, and…) is inane.

    There are no biological races in humanity. Nothing that can be compared to dogs for instance. On top of that “white” as a biological marker to define a group makes as much sense as “tall” or “small hands”, ie: none.

    We humans are pretty varied lot, people have wanted to create categories for ages and have done so, but those are social categories.

    Absolutely this. This is crucial to resisting fascism in its various forms: dehumanising is an extremely dangerous slope and used to prepare people to accept unacceptable things.

    TERFs are people. Nazis are people. Murderers and rapists are people. Fans of Asmongold are people.

    It may be hard to accept, and tempting to dehumanise, but please don’t.
