  • May you please make one argument after another, or just one please.

    The only argument I can reconstruct out of your brainfart could be “Capitalism is good because North Korea has no capitalism”. Just because (their own) people say its not communist doenst mean it is. Or do you really think they have no (ruling) classes, no money?

    Does NorthKorea not strive for “interests” (word is misleading us normal people btw, as its not yours/ours but the interest of ruling ones) of nationhood? So extending borders for example (as they are currently actively in war with South Korea under cease-fire)


  • its not individuals, its systemic.

    unless we change the game, there will be no “good” result, no matter if red guy, blue guy, green guy or whatever.

    (Capitalist) Nations in competition are the fundamental issue for ever-returning crisis based on fundamental (scientifically analyzed) contradictions… …Capital and Labor (one side wants profit, the other wants fair wages), … Usage and Exchange value (things are meant to be useful, but are sold primarily as commodities), …Production and Consumption (too much is produced, but many - and an increasing number - cannot afford the goods). …Competition and monopolies (everyone fights for market share until a few dominate everything) .technological progress and job losses (machines replace people, even though the economy is growing)…






  • look, im car free by choice - couldve owned a newer A4 avant. So we agree on the parking lots in its prevalance are too much.

    This doesnt change the fact that the whole sheep input is still absurd - no matter how romanticized the cartoony picture looks like… the realist view on your idealist idea could be “agrar solar” -> here an example picture


  • interestingly enough - planetary boundries include more essential parameters than greenhouse gases if people would be interested in more food for thought.

    like degradation of soil to a level of unusable (N- & P-cycles) due to 75% of landuse for animal food ( “Joseph Poore and Thomas Nemecek (2018)” where sheep are “just” a small percentile since we breed thousand of millions of other human-made animal breeds) or usable freshwater supplies getting more and more critical decade after decade…

    this post to be fair was about where to put solar panels


  • “No profit, not work-ey” - unless we change the system to make accumulation impossible of course

    anything else would be ignorant to compare to the commonness of parking lots - as in not worth to compare to begin with, like the handful of animal sanctuaries or whatever u’d think of here


  • “most people dont share your beliefs” is not an argument for anything. imagine people saying that for a pro slavery work stance. same with “weve done that before”.

    but sure correct my wording after making a fake argument, must be a very good sign for the confidence in your stance. :D Of course youre talking about sheep for wool, what else would you call a “win” here?

    And again, it is not a win, reread my first response, it literally already answered. Im sure deep down u see its pretty hard to not derail without addressing that/admitting theres unbendable, simple contradiction

    the sheep, we envision when someone says sheep, wouldnt exist without humanity. its also -like all other bred animal breeds with similar situations- serious damage for their bones to carry 10kg’s of extra fur(bred to be wooly).

    So no, this is not a win-win




  • Electric cars are not here to save the environment, they are here to save the automobile industry

    We are currently having reports on the main channels about the “DB train taskforce” coming up with the genius plan to reduce trains/hour to solve the railroads being overloaded. many big distributors are derailing with speed limit debates to make you look away at the fact the train tracks system we have is getting worse and worse.

    Not to dive into the topic how the prices -before crises- instantly went up to 63€/month for short ride trains. We workers shouldnt restrict other worker’s mobility by making public transport unrealistic - imo it should be free 100% the way we overpay for private autobahn road company subsidies…

    Which gets me to your statement again: the roads are build this way… which is by design … expensive… and expensive to uphold by repair after (topspeed and frequent) use.

    Thats the whole debate, just in a very different light, to make you, the worker, incited…in a way… at the wrong people. fellow workers
