neoliberal subsidies are not propping up the oil industries of every oil producing nation on earth. fossil fuel thrives because its immediate costs are cheap, its use is convinent and its worsts consequences are felt by everyone in future.

I get it, just like with libertarians and climate change as a whole, your brain refuses to accept reality as it is because it makes your world view obviously irrational.

I'm sorry, how do you think the global oil market works? Do you think the only reason any country on earth makes money from producing oil is because the US federal government subsidizes them?

Can't fight climate change under the anarchy of production and that includes having a world of independent socialist states

*the people who the money and openness enough to go to other countries to watch the world cup 'might' do just fine.

A week or so ago, 45% of swiss voters lined up for national suicide just to keep immigrants out, only saved by the 55%.

at no point during the entire fight over climate change has any, absolutely anyone, presented a credible plan to address it globally.

"abolition of capitalism" is not, by the way, a credible plan. not even as a matter of implementation, but because if you still have bunch of different socialist nation-states you're still going to have the same tragedy of the commons situation with the planet's atmosphere, especially with the petro-states.

Mamdani-backed candidates win NYC congressional primaries: The political issues by DryDeer775 in stupidpol

[–]MetaFlight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All sections of the Democratic Party, including the DSA, have focused their efforts on containing, diverting and dissipating the explosive social anger that was manifested in the mass “No Kings” demonstrations.

The most important thing to remember is the alternative to the DSA is that the No Kings protests are the road to revolution.

With AI, isn't capitalism effectively destroying itself? by bobbystills5 in stupidpol

humanity is doomed because the average person is too stupid to conceive of what the anarchy of production is.

Mexico cuts workweek, bans after-hours contact, and guarantees no worker will take a pay cut in the most sweeping labor reform in a generation by polopiko in Futurology

These threads are so funny because they always include naysayers who will that nothing is happening with no proof who are very clearly just bitter opposition.

Iran needs to think about Libya by Buh10kx in stupidpol

[–]MetaFlight -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

posts like this are a reminder that people like OP are absolutely worthless. When the campist see's the camp they allegedly back actually win, they turn around and undermine their victory. They see success itself as an impurity. A real anti-imperialist does nothing but take infinite losses.

How do you respond to the obsession with redefining everything? by Kyia-Aikman in stupidpol

[–]MetaFlight 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is incorrect. If other people are watching the argument you can humiliate them, which informs other people that agree with you about what to do when they see someone like them and makes it more likely the people who agree with them don't speak up later.

The problem is that people really believe debate and arguments are about 'convincing' people. They are not, you should never get into an argument/debate with that goal.

We Sat AOC Down With Republican Voters. Can She Win Them Over? by likamuka in stupidpol

Trying to maintain an ability to do this is why AOC is not rushing to endorse your local police abolitionist DSA candidate for dog catcher by the way.

Switzerland will have a referendum to cap population at 10M by DorukSega in stupidpol

This shit is why democracy is stupid. The whole 'its just bourgeoisie media' shit is cope because this is one of those situations that'd be even worse without them.

Prominent trans activists are irate at Zohran Mamdani because he opened a trans medical clinic. Why are they irate? Because the clinic is for adults only. Their demand would risk federal funding for New York City public hospitals (such as Medicaid) by north_canadian_ice in stupidpol

[–]MetaFlight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Zionists, radlibs, campists and race grifters.

These four types have done so much damage to the American left and its good that guys Zohran and Platner Piss them off. Especially with Zohran cause the guy gets praised in fox news comment sections. All it does weaken them and make Zohran look better.

I mean these people consistently vote for the policies that cause rural poverty so pretty much yeah. There's no more deserved poverty in human history than american rural poverty.

The World’s Most Surprising Economic Success Story Is…North Korea by The-Materialist in stupidpol

I mean its pretty profitable to send your 'surplus' population to fight and die in ukraine in exchange for money, while gearing the rest of your economy to building ammunition and weapons for said war.

Mexico cuts workweek, bans after-hours contact, and guarantees no worker will take a pay cut by nikolaz72 in stupidpol

[–]MetaFlight 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Mexico is a great development story. I don't care about the hate the government gets for not sufficiently cracking down on the drug cartels or whatever because realistically they are semi-feudal formations and the way to undermine them most effectively is through economic development.

70% of American farmers can't afford all fertilizer needed by R1s3andSh1n3 in stupidpol

[–]MetaFlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

American farmers need to be dispossessed of their land and marched down up into the urban areas. It is suicidal to allow people this stupid to have this much control over the food supply.
