They’re only ever on their own side.

Plus the emissions from agriculture moving to something else, still need the food.

Because they were often hurt, themselves. It is not a pleasant part of life.

Unless industry is brought to heel, we could reduce our footprint to 0 and still be totally fucked.

Dictators love conflict because it’s the antithesis of alliances, which they are incapable of having, and its also their biggest weakness.

Then build us cities like the dutch.

You poked a wound I didn’t know i had.

So long as the Supreme Court and the Legislative Branch play along, like they are not supposed to, then yes. He makes a demand through EO and if the world around him goes along with it, that’s all it really takes, people making the choice to agree to it. Then it’s between the groups that go along or don’t and which side eventually wins.

In another example, China successfully pressured various businesses and political groups change how they refer to Taiwan only a few years ago. They also just renamed various eastern Siberian cities from Russian to Mandarin names, in their own references. Whether this works is completely dependent on the world going along with it or not.

It shouldn’t take lawsuits to prevent actions that have unknown affects on the world but that’s what the powerful have argued for. “Prove what I’m doing is harmful enough to justify stopping me from doing it.” Its exactly the mentality of the right wing, of MAGA, of Trump, of CEOs and the entire business community. We have to prove harm before we can stop them from acting. And then they just undermine the entire process of determining that.

This is a much broader question about the tendency of the wealthy and powerful to act without any regard or responsibility to the communities and world they affect. They control vast systems of resource management and want to be beholden only to their own interests and only in the way they perceive them. They want to be tyrants, kings and emperors with absolute authority to decide what they do and what their systems do. Its absolute, pure narcissism, the ego and interest of the ones on top becomes the priority of the entire system they control.

Its insane to leave the direction of humanity solely to the egos of the wealthy and powerful. But that’s exactly what they argue we should do.

If they manage to kill everyone else though…they kind of prove it, no?

And that just means some part of the process was done in Canada. If you’re a Canadian wanting to buy a product packaged, manufactured, grown, shipped and everything elsneinc anada, it’s impossible to know.

It makes you what’s left, so by default, the strongest.

Yeah, why bother doing things? Just give up everything to the Google.

Which flagship isn’t though?

If we weren’t so fucking weak and unorganized, we’d be burning their companies and their homes to the fucking ground.

Who gets the money? Is it enough to disincentives future abuses? Is the abuse still happening? Can they be trusted to not cause such abuses again?

If I can’t have it, nobody can. Someone deal with his man and his cabal of pedophile lovers, already.

After the personal attacks, you aren’t worth explaining anything to.

Trying to make it personal doesn’t improve your argument.

It isn’t patriarchy, it’s women protecting each other. Its matriarchy in a patriarchal trenchcoat.
