no you see we need to export liquid natural gas (which is worse than burning coal when accounting for methane leakage) and build new infrastructure to to so all while putting 100% tariffs on cheap EVs.
No wonder Canada’s environmental rating is among the worst in the world
public funding?
ah the crazy variety
you forgot to take your pills
It’s funny that “candidates have to support genocide or they can’t win” is motivating you to punch left instead of rioting in the streets against AIPAC
Yes because it’s a new game, putting all the features they developed in the previous base game and years of DLC would take them a long time. This is how software development works. They don’t just have everything feature toggled off…
I find this argument really annoying / entitled.
Are they supposed to increase the scope of every iteration in the series and take an extra few years to make each one, or are they supposed to never release DLC? which would make you happy?
aw dang man why didn’t you tell anarchists this 100 years ago we’d have saved so much time
I wish they had just abstracted and genericized the civilization characteristics into things like “nomadic horse lords” or something rather than my game having a “Greek -> Mongol -> American” continuity which is very immersion breaking.
Yes over the course of history regions could be ruled by different civilizations but that’s by forces like conquest or cultural domination which are literally in the game I’m playing, so why does time passing or a technology unlock turn me Japanese
So you’re judging historical democracies by their peaks and successes but you’re judging socialist/communist countries by their low points and failures.
Russia went from a serfdom to a world superpower. It challenged the United States for decades despite losing millions of its population and being absolutely devastated in world war 2 whereas the USA was relatively unscathed.
These aren’t good faith arguments. You make every argument working from your conclusion backwards.
better get drinking and smoking so you can die healthy and skip getting old right
Companies left to their own devices will behave like conservatives anyway
sometimes it’s not about the truth of what is said but about when and how you choose to say it, the arguments you choose to have say as much about you as what you have to say
for some reason everyone becomes a nutritionist when veganism comes up.
I’m vegan, I eat meat substitutes, I’m easily putting on muscle and have a muscular build. Mind your own business
there’s another slogan…
Look at the variety of capitalist countries and how they differ, knowing what “capitalism” is helps you to understand which aspects of them relate to that and which aspects of them are political, cultural, social. I could easily point to terrible capitalist countries and say it just doesn’t work, but there are degrees aren’t there?
Also consider that democracy was tried, reverted to Empire, then wasn’t tried again for over 1000 years. France tried it, reverted to Empire, then tried it again. In those gaps your argument would be used to deny attempting democracy.
Knowing what “socialism” means would help you to understand how it has been, hasn’t been, and can be implemented. But you’re drooling on yourself repeating things you’ve heard like “but I like my toothbrush”
You’re doing yourself a disservice, and at least have the decency to keep your regurgitated opinions to yourself.
yes and all you’ve done is repeat slogans while not demonstrating that your understand the alternatives.
You’re clueless about how a socialist economy can function (there are actually many different ways) and everything you say is through the lens of your current capitalist neoliberal life. You’re imagining micro-adjustments that betray a complete lack of understanding and imagination.
I’m not going to convince you or get through to you so we can go our separate ways, but you’re extremely confident for someone who really doesn’t get it, and that’s just unfortunate for your own sake
Yes it appears to be your deity.
You really don’t understand the alternatives, it’s clear from this thread.
On the other hand I like how they taste and enjoy that they’ve got lower environmental impact.
I can read the nutritional info and make informed decisions.
Many substitutes have more protein for the same calories than meat.
you really can’t imagine anything else can you? this is what’s called “capitalist realism”
First they came for the racists and nazis and I said nothing
