  • Just to play devil's advocate here (because I am genuinely hopeful about Chinese leadership on renewables) but I see several 'peaks' on that chart

  • Yeah she comes across as a genuinely thoughtful person imo. She even guested on The Partially Examined Life years back

  • Ime these big brain libs tend to define capitalism as 'dynamic' i.e. companies are being established, folding all the time, leading to innovation etc etc. So monopoly situations are 'not-capitalism' to these people. It's bad because it's unstable, and good because it drives innovation, and that duality is great because it allows liberals to feel very grown up and nuanced.

    This is also how they manage to convince themselves that China is "the most capitalist country in history" — they see a dynamic market and assume it must be capitalist

  • This dude's whole schtick is taking a 'closer look' at something only to conclude that all economic relations are infinitely complex, and while fun to think about, ultimately inexplicable. SCIENCE!

  • It's really kind of incredible how effectively we've all convinced ourselves that colonized peoples were basically cavemen. Egypt was importing cinnamon from Sri Lanka as early as 2000BC. Why wouldn't there be cross-continental trade in the Americas?

  • Oh no, as an anti-carceral leftist I must side with pedophiles on this one

  • That's a weird way to describe Lin Manuel Miranda ngl

  • Pml at this

  • I mean I do kind of agree, but the elephant in the room wrt Brexit is that the effects of immigration were very unevenly felt — with certain communities, particularly those with a lot of agricultural laborers, affected quite negatively — and the only response anyone on the mainstream left had when xenophobes took advantage of the resultant discontent was, "shut up, peasant, it's good for the economy"

    Tbqh though the main thing preventing anything good from happening in Britain is that they haven't begun to get their heads around what the British Empire was. They have to construct these insane fantasies, because the alternative is realizing that they've literally never had a proper economy outside of wringing the colonies dry and then spending the years since then selling off the silverware

  • Remembering the insane vitriol directed at Corbyn when he proposed planting trees Remembering the insane(ly racist) claim that Israel "made the desert bloom"

  • And the thing with the geography of the Florida straights is that they can't even do a humanitarian escort without threatening US territory in the process

  • They could call it a 'taxi rank'

  • Your hole is missing its toad smdh

  • Just because the yanks are less and less able to project power abroad, doesn't mean China can start waving their dicks 90 miles off the US coast

  • The US would love the chance to show off their naval power in their own back yard though

  • I too have a boobs fetish

  • I think ideally these fuckers would like to turn women into broodmares, but even that would involve increasing men's wages so 🤷
