In my fantasies, Greta becomes the most feared revolutionary - like a new age Boudica, and sets the world to rights in a rampage of justice.

adults today will never understand either, apparently.

of course we should be using all renewables now (as well as nuclear), but the world will only need more and more energy in the future. Sustainables are a bridge and a supplement, but for long term security, fusion is the answer. fusion empowers us to do whatever humanity is capable of.

i see a lot of naysaying in the comments and a lot of superstition.

the one thing you all got right is that it will never work in the hands of capitalists. however, that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t work in the hands of academia.

another thing that i think somebody in this comment section got right is the acceleration of fusion power. it’s obvious that fusion power works. we just can’t work out the details to make it net positive and scalable. i think those things are possible, and that we need all the help we can get to develop it.

something i don’t see people mentioning is how an AI properly trained on human behavior could lead us down a path of sustainability without making us feel like we were forced to. with the right carrots and sticks, you can lead humanity to water and make it drink.

but none of this is possible without abandoning capitalism and unifying the world. we have to move away from nation states and fiat currency. and guess who are the people that stubbornly cling on to these concepts across cultures? conservatives and the religious - these are the two most cancerous concepts in the human species. roughly half of the human population across all cultures are backwards minded people clinging on to outdated concepts and unwilling to let go of the idea.

if you can figure out how to eliminate conservatism and religion, utopia is within reach.

it’s not. at any point, if enough people band together, we can make anything happen, with or without the government’s support. we are looking down the barrel of global catastrophe. at some point, we have to do something.

so what do we do?

did the current, living Amish oppress them? did I? did you? who is the “you” in your sentence?

they were all born there. we need to stop considering ancestors and consider the living.

agreed. technically, both are native.

Alrght. I’m leaving a comment here as a reminder to come back to this thread and tell my creepy pasta story.

EDIT: i read the lamp story. it was ok i guess. mine is similar.

sigh. keep trusting in institutions.

i live in a world of pod people.

kids need to learn how to fight back. the bullies will still be there when you grow up.

ok. keep donating then. get back to me in 10 years.

and there’s only one way to get rid of them

they should try, but those orgs are not trying. those orgs are pacifying.

that seems about as useless as bitching online about it.

the system grinds down opposition. change from within is near impossible.

how dumb do you have to be to not realize that rural CA is full of MAGATs?

at the end of the day, it’s all complaining and no action. i get so tired of hearing children whine and doing nothing about anything.

Right-wing instances were defederated after they wouldn’t moderate their users posting CSAM, gore, and nazi shit.

seems like it would have been more productive to infiltrate and doxx than just to look away.

lololol don’t care about those either. i mean, slava ukraini but i’m much more concerned about my backyard than i am anybody else’s.
