  • So you think that if Sanders becomes the leader of the democratic party (he won’t), all of the lobbies and all of the billionaires interests that are behind both Democratic and Republican parties, are gonna suddenly disappear? Unfortunately that’s not how it works.

    Voting for the democratic party would alsocbe against your self-interest as member of the working class, just as much as republican. You need to realise the US is a one party system, Democratic and Republican are two branches of the same party.

    Photovoltaic is the future, it’sprettyy much unarguably the only technology that can create energy without moving parts or without any sort of burning.

    You don’t get any more futuristic than this. The only problem with photovoltaic and wind is that they’ve been actively boycotted.

    Here in the UK energy providers habitually stop their own wind turbines just because otherwise the price of energy will get too low. That’s how fucked up the system is. And nuclear is nothing more than an astute way for these capitalist pigs in control of the energy sector to keep making money from something that should be free already.


  • That’s true, I’m not saying that never happens. I’m just saying one should evaluate the likelihood of something happening, not just the risk itself, or you might end up depriving yourself of useful experiences and interactions, de facto letting the feds win without even actually doing anything.

    Again even in that case I would ask myself, why would they pick me out of the other million people that were at the same march?

    Unfortunately the line between safety and self-destroying paranoia, isn’t that thick.


  • Yes, transmission is a complex thing to do, and that’s why more funds should used to improve research in that direction, rather than wasting hundreds of billions on ticking time bombs, so that mining company owners can get richer while making us sicker.

    1 hour of sunlight that hits the sunlit hemisphere, contains enough energy to satisfy the needs of the whole planet for 1 year. That’s how much solar is better than nuclear.

    I really can’t believe that in 2026, the idea of generating energy by boiling water, is still considered “advanced tech” just because they wanna use a different fuel. Lol

    And no, solar doesn’t need land.



  • It’s good to be conscious about these things, but it’s also important to have a correct analysis of the threat level.

    Do you have a good reason to believe authorities might be monitoring your phone specifically out of the hundreds of millions of people the could pick from? They don’t have the capacity to monitor every single phone or conversation. They will have their own threat analysis and only put you under that type of surveillance if you are or if you have the potential to become an active threat to them.

    If you just go about your life minding your business then you can be certain the feds aren’t reading your sms.

    It’s true that better safe than sorry, but at the same time you can’t let safety paralyse you and stop you from acting.
