The best argument for capitalism is “someone is going to do it anyways, so we might as well let them.”

Ive been educating myself on this and posting as well for a few months. Its really inspiring. Simply planting trees, on a massive scale, literally solves all of our problems. Carbon in the atmosphere, draughts, floods, wildfires, rain shortages. Or course, its more complicated than just planting trees, but that’s the objective. Use all the techniques new can to reforest our degraded land and rain can come back. We can actually create “climate change” in our favor. And the carbon sink business of engineering a fake tree that eats carbon is so fucking stupid. It doesn’t have to be a business.

Anyways, I came across an article about reforesting on Cambodia, and they brought regular rainfall back, having started in 2014. So its possible and doesn’t have to take forever either.

Someone said this about coronavirus yesterday, but it’s more true about climate change. We will have to end capitalism to solve climate change.

Favorite, as in, silliest theory that some people actually believe?

Its probably the one where Bin Laden was the mastermind behind the operation and nobody in the US had any idea about it. This theory has WTC building 7 falling due to being hit by falling debris from one of the towers. And the pentagon was hit by a plane that completely vaporized upon impact so there are no remains.

I know a Trump Republican who believes in climate change and all the science behind it. And he thinks gas cars will be gone eventually, especially gas guzzlers. And therefore, he thinks he should have one and burn as much gas as he can, while we still can.

I don’t know. I just like regular water. I always thought sparkling water was a gimmick to sell us something that should be free.

For all of the “intelligence” they do or have, they’re pretty stupid to understand nothing about people’s motivation for civil disobedience. It’s like they think it’s a terrorist cell with an evil mastermind and loyal, brainwashed followers.

And he wants to stage a coup with their protection?

“Communist party branches have been set up inside western companies, allowing the infiltration of those companies by CCP members - who, if called on, are answerable directly to the communist party, to the Chairman, the president himself,”

Very cliche and intimidating claim.

But the “former CIA officer and democratic candidate” was crying tears while she spoke of never using the words socialism ever again.
