No it won't. The bullshit will continue with all the election denialism, the rhetoric and violence. Not to mention an the Republican state governors that will fuck shit up.

It ain't over.

It's pretty convenient to call aid organizations terrorists. That gives you an excuse to kill them and prevent any aid to be delivered to the people you're trying to wipe out.

I understand your point. But if you're American, will you vote for Harris? Or give away your vote to Trump?

We all know that she needs to do. They have the power.

Instead we're going to end up like the 2016 elections when there were these "Bernie or bust" voters that basically gave away the election to Donald Trump instead of voting for Hillary.

Except this time it'll be over Israel and their genocide.

This will never not be sci fi to me lol

The retro futurism of the 80's was the best

Get outta here, Doug Demuro! Go back to YouTube!

You mean like the 1985 Subaru XT Coupe? God I love that cassette futurism look!

Your analysis is certainly pretty easy on you personally, though, isn’t it? Someone else is to blame, move on. Whenever you take part in modern society - eating meat, driving and flying, buying junk and throwing it away, everything basically - it’s someone else’s fault, move on. Personally I choose to accept that I also have some responsibility in the matter.

That is such BS. I'm already living in a neighborhood with higher density with easy access to public transportation by both bus and subway, buying my food as locally as possible by going to local markets and mongers, reducing my meat consumption, trying to repair everything I own as much as possible instead of disposing and buying new an trying to keep my things to last as long as I can, reducing my energy consumption, trying to avoid plastics, composting, recycling, you name it. But I'm still limited by what's available out there that is being sold by big ass companies who only care about profit.

I'm sick and tired of putting the onus of making all the sacrifices on us, the working class, while rich assholes and companies are contributing more to pollution and global warming than anyone else. I really don't care bout you accusing me of not doing enough. You're basically defending companies and billionaires.

As for the virtuous-native argument, I don’t buy that either. For one reason: population growth. A human civilization can never be sustainable unless its population is stable. It’s just basic ecology. Well, AFAIK, there is no premodern human society that has mastered this. Their populations are all increasing, just from a lower baseline, since they haven’t adopted farming yet. Their impacts may be lower because the absolute numbers are lower, but the trajectory is exactly the same. I know that’s not a popular opinion among the race-obsessed modern American left, but I’m a universalist so that’s how I see it. The color of people’s skin does not exempt them from responsibility. We’re all humans, we’re all implicated in this endeavor.

Population growth has never been so rapid. We were never supposed to grow this fast. Again this is a modern phenomena. This has never happened until the 1700s, which is around the time that colonization was in full swing. Then modern medicine came along. Before that, population growth was pretty stable. So your argument doesn't stand.

And why do you think that modern capitalist government don't want to stop population growth and keep complaining about low birthrates? They want more people so they can have more workers, and more workers means lower wages, lower wages means more profits! They're creating this environment where life become a rat race.

I dunno man. If you look at aboriginal peoples around the globe who still live by their old native ways like in the Amazons, in isolated parts of Asia, Africa and Australia, and how American natives used to live, I'd say they were doing pretty well before western colonization happened. Greedy fuckers would get put in their place pretty quick or cast out of their collectivity for having antisocial behavior that is typically associated with greedy people.

The greed that we know today, historically speaking, is fairly recent. With its money and loans and debt and accumulation of wealth.

So no. I disagree with your argument that it is a problem with humanity. It's a problem with a system that's been built over time by a small group of people who were craving power.
