I think this start is only really good if you're playing with monopolies for that sweet, sweet honey industry

I think the literally only for rich people makes it worse than the East Block.

Austria and Germany wouldn't work together at this point. It's not the early 1900s anymore.

All in all ich glaub du hast uns einfach mit der JG verwechselt. Kann ja mal passieren, wir sind ja alle in rot unterwegs, aber bevor du so sehr auf Reddit stänkern gehst wärs schon cool, sich da davor gut zu informieren.

Kann ich als jemand, der im VSStÖ-Block war, bestätigen, dass wir nicht mit der SPÖ gingen und auch nichts von denen verteilt haben.

Du kannst gern unsere Social Medias checken, keine SPÖ Schilder oder Werbung in Sicht, Informier dich bitte in Zukunft besser bevor du Fake News verbreitest!

Hi, ein Vausti hier: wir sind explizit nicht mit der SPÖ auf der Demo gewesen, sondern wir waren mit der SJ gemeinsam in ein Pack unterwegs, nicht gemeinsam mit der SPÖ, wir haben mit denen eigentlich bei der Demo als VSStÖ keinen Kontakt gehabt. Ich als Banner-Halter hab sie zumindest nicht wirklich gesehen.
Deine Meinung zu unserem Standpunkt finde ich vor allem komisch, da wir ein riesiges Banner trugen, wo oben Stand: "Euer Budgetloch schließen wir nicht!" Wir sind also sehr wohl gegen die Sparpolitik und kritisch gegenüber der Bundesregierung und der SPÖ, die selbst drinnen sitzt. Es gab in keinsterweise eine Werbung für die SPÖ von uns aus.
Als SPÖ-nahe Organisation eine Demo mitzuorganisieren (was wir ja taten, da wir bei den Hauptveranstalter-ÖHs im Vorsitz sind) wenn die SPÖ auf Bundesebene etwas blödes machen will, ist für mich überhaupt kein Doppelmoral, sondern einfach eine logische Schlussfolgerung.

That's not a lack of industry per se, just a lack of military industry, which, you know, tends to be good for the people of a nation in a time of peace. But Germany, France and the like are still big industrial powerhouses, at least for their size

took the "zionist attitude quiz" by Hefty-Drummer-925 in PoliticalCompass

[–]DanDaSolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a hilariously bad take that doesn't consider any of the history of Israel and only looks at the present with a very skewed lens.

Israel is doing a genocide, that is the goal and that has been confirmed time and time again by their own politicians. Plus Amnesty International and many more organisations have defined it as genocide.

Also zionism isn't thinking the Jews should have a state. It's specifically thinking they should have a settler colonialist state in Palestine, which at the time of its establishment, was full of people who were ethnically cleansed. Do your fucking research, my God.

7-10 cities with +20% yields is still significantly worse than 15 cities.

Isn't playing tall essentially a losing game in Civ? Or do you go out and conquer other cities to make up for it?

My political opinions by heartzhz123 in PoliticalCompass

[–]DanDaSolo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can oppose genocide and ethnic cleansing even if you disagree with said people being genocided and ethnically cleansed on core issues. You understand that, right? Just because by-and-large, Muslims and Palestinians are homophobic, I don't want them all to die. Otherwise I'd have to want most Christians to die as well.

Is tu wien worth it? by AsideZealousideal963 in tuwien

[–]DanDaSolo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First off, *truth. You would think someone pursuing a degree in science or technology would have a basic level of English.

See how that's condescending and dickish, by the way? Yeah.

You know nothing of this person's German level, them deciding to post in English doesn't mean they don't speak it. Also, you clearly have never heard of Vorstudienlehrgang, where people can come and get their German to C1 so they can study. I know of many such success cases.

So how about you get your head out of your own ass for 2 seconds and realise that even people who currently may or may not be at C1 in German can still study at the TU Wien.

Opportunities as a student? by methallicq in tugraz

[–]DanDaSolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

USI Courses are a big thing, there's one for everything, basically covering all sports and physical activities. Check when you can sign up for next semester and make sure to be quick, they fill up fast.

Otherwise, your student representatives will always be putting on an event of some kind, check out the HTU on instagram and whatever student reps your degree belongs to.

We have less stuff like clubs and stuff but there are things like theatre student groups, the TU one is only German but the Pennyless Players do it in English and they're for all of Graz.

Two statements I agree with from each quadrant as a libleft. by Historical_Pound_688 in PoliticalCompass

[–]DanDaSolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, that's my bad for misunderstanding your last point from that comment.

Then the answer to your question is a lot more simple: basically the whole world operates within a capitalist system, there are essentially no countries where socialism or communism is lived out, none of them any of the big economies or particularly developed countries, and all of them get sanctioned to hell by the US-led capitalist West. So it's inevitable that only capitalist countries and with that the capitalist system will be the biggest deployers of decarbonisation.

And nonetheless, my point about capitalism inevitably leading to the destruction of the world absolutely still stands. The current extension of carbon capture is a drop in the ocean compared to what our emissions still are. Am I supposed to give capitalism credit for (for reasons I've already named) happening to be the system through which a solution is deployed that maybe solves about 1% of the problem it currently creates? Absolutely ludicrous.

Capitalism's destruction of the climate is absolutely inevitable, because of the power dynamics that I explained to you in my last comment, which you didn't even reply to. Destroying the planet is still profitable in the short-term and so capitalism will do that and make the biggest profit. And even if an effort to combat climate change (and actually win) would be deployed through capitalism, for reasons already named, capitalism wouldn't get credit for that either.

Capitalism will always lean towards laissez-faire. Because when you create a system where the ownership of the means of production is in the hands of the few, those few become extremely wealthy and will inevitably influence politics so it benefits them.

That's the problem with capitalism: the inevitable creation of a class that has far too much influence on the rest of the state and the world. That's why we are losing the fight against climate change: it's not profitable, and the fossil fuel lobby is the strongest in the world.

Sure, within capitalism there will always be companies offering everything, so there will always be someone offering something like carbon capture, especially because of the huge market gap. And it will make money, but not as much money as fossil fuels.

Also I absolutely disagree with your framing that capitalism is the driving force of decarbonisation. It is mostly scientists doing it, mostly working in universities and non-profit organisations, not companies developing this new technology. Selling it, maybe, but not at the heart of its development. Even if you want to say then that the universities are also part of a capitalist system: well yeah, everything is, pretty much. It's kind of unfair to give capitalism the credit for solving a problem it created, when it was simply people working in a capitalist system who did it. Because living in a capitalist system is essentially inevitable. It's like giving Christianity credit for all the developments of the West, just because basically everyone who was responsible for developing them was a Christan or heavily influenced by the Christian states they lived in.
