Upstream

The ease of access and availability of unprocessed foods, or food products without high amounts of corn syrup, sugars and other additives, is much higher in most of the world outside of the US. I can never stay in the US for more than a couple of weeks without gaining weight. Then again, it doesn’t help that US food is fantastically tasty, either ♥️

Aka, if the electoral system is rigged, just give up. There is no alternative. Unless of course you find yourself within a nation with a somewhat browner skin color. Then expect liberation and democratization by way of the bomb.

If it wasn’t for the overpowered military industrial complex and veto in the security council, I’m pretty sure we’d have a no fly zone and democratic transition in the US by now.

So many years I’ve heard Americans complain, rightly so, about the duopoly farming your insecurities for profits. Each cycle the duopoly gets worse and worse. Again we’re at a point where it seems they can’t stoop any lower, and again most seemingly progressive Americans suddenly become incredibly pragmatist, excusing genocide, destruction of the environment, war in Europe, cold war 2.0, because “the alternative is worse”. Fuck that from the rest of the world that has to live under your megalomanic geriatric child killing leaders. You need to find a solution, and voting for the lesser evil just ain’t it, because it is already so incredible destructive and outright barbarian. Make a third way, engage Trump voters on their home turf, make a revolution, I don’t care, just leave us the fuck alone. Thank you.

Fuck bottoming for Biden and Trump. If you vote Biden, you’re enabling genocide. Kind regards, rest of the world.

More like an editor, even. Making the persecution just so much sadder.

OP is about climate change and funding petroleum. Parent comment was about US party politics. My comment brought up petroleum drilling permissions in a US party political setting. Why don’t you think that is related?

While true, it’s guilt by omission not to remind people that Biden has thoroughly broken his campaign promise of “no more drilling on federal lands”, and in fact granted even more drilling permits then Trump did before him.

Their issue. I’m not a teacher, and I’m done trying to school baby liberals. This isn’t reddit, but lemmy.ml, as in Marxism Leninism, and I’m too tired to go hunting for basic media imperialism 101 articles to argue on the internet because some guy said “src plz”. The source is me, ok. This is not an academic paper, go find your own sources if you wanna dig in. I’ll even help you out: Google Scholar the terms “associated press” and imperialism and soft power. Or better yet, just fucking read Lenin’s Imperialism, highest stage of capitalism. This is basic shit that anyone from of the 50+ countries US empire has invaded knows.

A hundred times yes. AP is inseparable from US imperialism. It projects the Pentagon’s version of reality to a global audience. Through sheer volume it floods the airwaves to the detriment of other countries’ own news agencies, sets the agenda, and is integral to US hegemony, as soft power.

Yeah, guess you’re right, but aren’t the latter two just variations of calling someone a cop?

It’s pretty common to see terms like “Russian propaganda” and “Chinese propaganda”, while “American/EU propaganda” is seldom spoken about, at least in Western countries.

Doesn’t the lack a pejorative for someone who follows western propaganda somewhat speak to the propagandistic aspect of this term as well as the whole “tankie” fad?

Are all circles in physical reality actually cylinders, only some are very short?

As a VIM user, I approve.

That’s very comprehensive, 100s of pages of technical and impact reporting. I’m not trying to undermine the project, was just curious and hoping for a ELI5 kind of thing.

Impressive scale, with mills the size of Rockefeller center and the farm’s extent equal to London. Still only 5 percent of UK’s energy consumption when they are operating at max capacity. Two things come to mind:

• What was the cost in terms of climate gases to build and install these, and what are the plans for their eventual decommissioning?
• What are the impacts on atmospheric flows, especially if this was scaled up to cover a larger part of UK consumption, and joined by similar installations from other countries?

What is this a source of? The article is paywalled and the preview mostly concerns Lenin’s ambition for a stronger democracy.
