I hadn’t noticed how pro-cop some feddit.org users are but a cursory glance at people taking police reporting at face value and then openly defending cops punching people in the face with “it’s out of context” reasoning is just surreal.

It reeks to me of living in a bubble your whole life and never having experienced police repression - so your only response is “it can’t be the police, they’ve never done anything against me, it must be the protestors that are wrong”

Usually I’m one that hates leftist infighting but defacto trying to suppress a genocide because the “law says so” is rather weak. Still I totally understand wanting to protect yourself from repression but surely if you cared about both justice and your well being you would just hand over the community to someone else? Unless of course you actually agree with the “law”…

ah yes the classic “you made me repeatedly punch you in the face because I was afraid in my full body riot armor” - good to know the brave solders defending a genocide have loyal supporters on lemmy as well 🫶

so you combat leftist infighting with more leftist infighting? curious…

honestly most (if not all?) tankie instances are defederated so I don’t understand what posts like this are trying to achieve apart from digging up off-instance drama for personal vindication

Just one more LNG tanker bro - I swear we’re gonna solve the tarrifs bro - just give the dictator a few more billions bro - pls bro it’s gonna work - pls just try it bro

Ugh - why does renewable energy have to be such a politicized issue - the article begins by stating that the president absolutely denied it was due to renewables - only to spend the rest of the article exploring how to handle renewable overproduction so it doesn’t cause grid instability

like can we not tackle infrastructural problems without them turning into a shit flinging contest - people are afraid to say that renewables have any downsides because the fossil fuel industry spends so much on propaganda to politicize energy production - like we’re supposed to argue that unless renewables are flawless there’s no point in even trying

how did we go from reasonable discussions on how to most effectively solve problems (ie climate change) to making sure you don’t rustle oil barron’s jimmies so they don’t oust you out of government?

I’m just hoping people start waking up to how ridiculous this narrative is…

“Oh you want clean air and a stable environment for you children? Have you considered changing nothing and hoping it works out?”

(ps nuclear is cool but wouldn’t have solved the issue of overproduction)

idk i think our incentive should be to cure diseases with public funding and make people healthy instead of for profit but what do i know

Is this better science for you?

Empirical data.

It is.

“Meat and dairy products have especially large water footprints due to the amount of water-intensive feed required to raise the animals”

yep, Europe really ought to not cave into the demand to buy up more LNG and instead focus on developing their own renewable energy base instead

Wtf - the EU imported 15-20b on LNG in 2024 - how does it make any sense to increase LNG imports by 15-20 times while claiming to decarbonize? Or is the plan to just weave the 350B debt and then be left holding the proverbial LNG bag?

Right so you would have upheld and supported the 1982 Internal Security Acts in apartheid South Africa that outlawed chants like Mayibuye iAfrika because you “respect the law”

Thanks for telling on yourself.

*France is twice the population of California and 1.5 times the landmass

From said article: “Harley Quinn Fartacular: Silent Butt Deadly is an unsettling mixture of childish humor and fetishistic sexual innuendo, seemingly only meant to appeal to those who truly love every experience relating to farting.”

Idk, this doesn’t sound like distancing tbh

I mean it sure would do more than pretending it’s not happening - but I get it - most Germans preferred to pretend they couldn’t smell the smoke either.

And again you don’t even have to risk your own safety by protesting - you could at least join a local community organizing group to help people most affected.

I’m sure you may think one person can’t make a difference but I can guarantee that even a single person more that’s helping out with mutual aid would be met with appreciation anywhere.

Huh, US industrialists were literally given carte blanche to support Hitler’s rise to power and it’s happening again with Muskrat bolstering far right parties across Europe.

Hell, Hitler admired the US for the way they “dealt” with the indigenous population of Turtle Island

Why try to do anything so this doesn’t happen when it’s easier to dig your head in the sand 🙃
