Never said the guy was Polish, just that plenty of the elder religious folk I grew up around had that cross in their houses and that it likely had a religious meaning, before being co-opted by the far right, that may still be in use with some groups.
Also I'm in the UK and my Polish family here arrived in the 60's, so likely a different cultural group to many of the Polish Catholic's in the US who, from what I've gathered, emigrated much earlier.
I get that you have hope, but magical thinking isn't going to fix this unless you are literally capable of magic or you have a time machine powered by positive thoughts or something.
We are already globally over capacity on fresh water. Crops are already failing. The earth is already at heat storage capacity. Carbon emissions are still rising. Population numbers are still rising. Capitalist industry is still posting record profits.
Most people won't even consider a vegan diet and campaigning for community gardens and bike lanes isn't going to magically increase the heat storage capacity of the oceans.
So I am genuinely asking you, mitigation of resourse depletion, works how? Mitigation of thermodynamics works how?
What type of hard work do you think can fix this?
Pretty sure the 'enlightened centrist' in this meme represents the 'leftwing' party, does it not? That's the party that 'compromises' when the Overton window moves right.
Everybody on the actual left is represented by the crying figure.
Ah, I got woosh-ed.
It's only going to take a few more years as hot as the last two, for the ice mass at the poles to be depleted enough that the Earth will be absorbing more heat from the sun than it reflects.
This is called the Blue Ocean Event and it will set off the Clathrate Gun.
Once those happen (and they're going to, soon) the planet is quite literally going to be cooked in it's own atmosphere. Not much survives being cooked.
And while we're on the topic of apocalyptic and yet fully foreseen disasters that most people are still somehow oblivious to:
Did you know that we're going to be 40% over capacity on fresh water globally by 2030?
And that when this drought reduces humanity's numbers by several billion (and if the BOE doesn't happen first), the rest of us are still going to starve to death anyway, because 90% of top soil globally is at risk of depletion by 2050.
You might want to look all those things up, and maybe book a therapy appointment or something.
Depending on how organised you are, and how much soup/boiled root veg you eat, soaking your rice over night and steaming it over soup/veg you're boiling the next day, is going to be much more energy efficient than probably all other methods.
I think brown rice only takes about ten minutes to steam once it's been soaked overnight, but I have never actually tried this method myself as I don't eat that much soup or boiled root veg, and I have a bad habit of forgetting things if they're not in my direct line of sight.
I cook all the rice I eat in an enamelled cast iron pot, on an induction stove hotplate.
(I am hella poor these days and have metered electricity, this has been the cheapest way I've found so far that works for me.)
Add 1 part washed brown rice into the pot
Add 1.5 parts cold water into the pot
Add salt or stock cube/seasoning if desired
Bring to a rolling boil for 2 to 3 minutes
Cover pot with foil and lid to trap heat and steam
Reduce heat to the lowest it can go while simmering continously
Simmer for 15 minutes
Turn off heat but do not touch or move the pot.
Wait 15 to 20 minutes for the rice to steam cook the rest of the way.
This method works great, unless it is the dead of winter and cold enough in my kitchen that the pot cools too quickly to finish steaming the rice through. In which case I add a little more water and bring it to a boil again, and cover, lower the heat and steam it again for ten minutes, while hovering over the pot shivering and debating whether or not to just eat it as is, or wait for it to be both mushy and crunchy.
Not to detract from this guy likely yes being a massive nazi piece of shit-
-but many deeply religious Polish Catholics who lived through WW2 and the atrocities, had (maybe still have, idk all my grandparents and aunties who did are now dead) Jerusalem crosses on their walls, usually displayed alongside their many JP2 pictures, crucifixes and black madonna's.
Also not to say that many of these Polish Catholics weren't also massive racists, but I'm pretty sure the Jerusalem crosses they displayed were a Catholic thing for them rather than a white supremacy thing.
We say from our echo chambers while marvelling at how inefficient and poorly run the world around us is.
You mean non-brewed condiment?
You wanna level up? Try Brzęczyszczykiewicz.
Define 'not helping'?
Burying your head in the sand thinking this polycrisis is salvageable, is making things worse for everyone.
There is no future. Fantasies about having a bunch of grandkids in socialist enclaves of community gardens, or whatever, is hopium propaganda. Each new person created for this future you keep talking about, is adding a truly huge amount of carbon, heat and pollution to the planet.
Talking about how bad the polycrisis is, is hopefully getting through to enough people and making them less likely to procreate on a dying planet.
Less children born = less resources depleted and less carbon and heat speeding shit up = fewer dying children and more time to come up with physics defying magic to solve entropy and restore our planet.
(Or idk, god or aliens or something equally as unlikely saves us. Surviving this is not my fantasy and you should pick something that appeals to you.)
