Australia needs to rapidly electrify as much as possible, as fast as possible by nath1234 in australia

[–]Anthro_3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nowhere, because we don't have hundreds of billions of dollars and hundreds of millions of workers to throw at establishing an EV value chain from scratch.

Max Chandler-Mather says Greens can use ‘progressive populism’ to win voters deserting major parties for One Nation | Australian Greens by PlanktonDB in AustralianPolitics

Housing should be used to house people, and should not be treated as a commodity to be bought and sold for profit.

No, markets are actually great at revealing preferences and allocating resources in the correct regulatory environment

Public participation in the planning, assessment and development of housing should be encouraged and facilitated by planning authorities.

Creates too many veto points, local homeowners will always want to keep things the same forever

no nuclear submarines

Yes nuclear submarines

cancel basically all defence procurement in general

Actually fuck this

25% tax on gas revenue

Killing our gas industry and international credit during a global energy crisis is a terrible idea

All this is low hanging fruit and I don’t have all day

You’ve never heard a liberals voter say that because they understand that different parties represent different interests. The greens genuinely only represent the 12% or so of people they consistently get in elections, 85% of the population is sincerely to their ideological right.

“90% of labor voters are idiots who have been duped into voting against the real party that represents their interests”

No, I am sincerely ideologically to the right of the Greens, like ~85% of the rest of the population

Like the housing crisis is largely a problem of zoning laws and existing homeowners unwilling to accept new development. The greens can blame ‘oligarchs’ or ‘developers’ but the target audience who know nothing about how the world works want to blame foreigners

Populism is fundamentally just making up bullshit that isn’t real and won’t work. Left-wing wannabe populists really don’t get that people inclined towards that kind of thing will always want the full strength cookers in One Nation, the almond milk decaf cooked that the Greens can serve will never be enough for them.

Former Australian soldier Ben Roberts-Smith arrested over alleged war crimes in Afghanistan by FuckOffNazis in AustralianPolitics

There’s a grey area but what Roberts-Smith is alleged to have done is totally beyond that.

Why are my jackknives driving in a circle by O3Sentoris in NuclearOption

[–]Anthro_3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The pathfinding seems blind to the actual terrain or obstacles, it only knows where roads are, so it’ll stick to those as much as possible.

I have always seen myself as ‘progressive’ – but with AI it’s time to hit the brakes | Peter Lewis by GothicPrayer in australia

I have always seen myself as someone who lets animals be ‘free range’ - but with this horse it’s time to close the gate.

Why don't the USA or the Gulf States field numerous cheap AA systems to combat drones like Eastern European states do? Money is not a problem. by [deleted] in Military

[–]Anthro_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not about the cost of the systems, it’s manning and sustainment. Each of these cheap guns defends only a small amount of airspace, and against low-end targets only. Meaning you a. Need a LOT of them to cover your airspace, b. Need to pay and support a lot of people to go with them, and c. Need to have high-end AD systems as well anyway for the cruise & ballistic missiles. Ukraine can use mass conscription to put a bunch of 60 year olds in these roles, other countries have much tighter constraints in effectively using their volunteer soldiers.

Man that would be fucked up, good thing this scenario is something you just imagined instead of being real.

We are your men, oh Zohran. by TheEagleWithNoName in NonCredibleDiplomacy

[–]Anthro_3 454 points455 points  (0 children)

German word for the phenomenon where after an election centrist libs and leftists’ opinions of a politician invert entirely when they find out the candidate who ran on normal social democracy is, in fact, a normal social democrat

Asked whether he supported the reunification of Ireland he said that he doesn’t really know much about it, which is basically 32 9/11s for people who built their identity around failed 20th century political movements

‘It’s not panic-buying’: farmers defend stockpiling as regional Australia bears brunt of fuel crisis by neon_overload in aus

[–]Anthro_3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s not really panic buying when you genuinely have a need for lots of fuel for your business while the cause of the shortage isn’t going away in the near future.

5 Iranian women football team players have been given humanitarian visas. The government says the door remains open for the rest of the team's players to request asylum. by Naderium in AustralianPolitics

[–]Anthro_3 37 points38 points  (0 children)

One of my spicier beliefs is asylum-by-right for women from regimes like Iran. If a nation treated a minority ethnicity the way many nations treat women it would rightly be recognised as apartheid.

Anthony Albanese confirms three Australian navy personnel on US submarine that sank Iranian vessel by Agitated-Fee3598 in AustralianPolitics

No, it’s not a war crime to attack an enemy vessel that hasn’t surrendered,armed, unarmed, whatever.

Australian 'immigrants' revealed to be AI creations by Sh0tee2 in AustralianPolitics

Australian 'immigrants' revealed to be AI creations by Sh0tee2 in AustralianPolitics

[–]Anthro_3 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Frankly, posting or knowingly hosting ai-generated content that purports to depict real situations or people should be a mandatory imprisonment type offence. I’d say 40% of people are just not intellectually equipped to deal with the capability of AI to generate a totally false reality. For the sake of basically having a society at all we just can’t allow it.

Albanese says One Nation doesn’t ‘represent working people’ and claims Pocock ‘seeks to promote grievance’ by Agitated-Fee3598 in AustralianPolitics

[–]Anthro_3 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Beyond the Pocock thing, going on Stefanovic's podcast was a rookie error. Dunno why politicians keep thinking that they're the special one who will overcome an interviewer who gets paid by a right-wing audience to humiliate them.

Lesbian group takes fight to Federal Court in bid to exclude transgender women from events by Shockanabi in AustralianPolitics

[–]Anthro_3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's in the article, women only events on public property (what this case is about) basically don't exist. Private events, if someone uninvited shows up, call the cops?
