Huh. It’s almost like history is written by the victor.

Lmao this isn’t small claims court. Those people were straight up murderer from long distance with missiles that American tax dollars very likely paid for.

Minor spoilers ahead.

I have no clue what this show will be like.

I read the trilogy and I’m not really sure that it will translate to the screen very well. The story is absolutely massive and spans from beginning in the Chinese cultural revolution and ends at the literal end of time.

That being said, it is probably my favorite and what I consider the best sci-fi trilogy out there.

Incredibly interesting concepts are explored and it also has a really interesting way of telling the story. It’s not just about one guy saving the whole universe. It catalogs all of civilization’s attempts at coming together and protecting humanity from an alien threat. And it also goes into all of the issues that humanity runs into while trying to work together, while also spanning across thousands of years.

It’s a really fantastic series and I would highly recommend it to just about anyone with an intellectual interest in humanity’s future.

It’s a big statement to say, but this book changed my outlook on humanity and globalism.

Fuck this company. Fuck these ghouls making this decision.

This is easily the most badass form of piracy I’ve ever seen. The right kind of rebellion.

But how can you sleep at night knowing that there are people living their lives in a way that doesn’t affect anyone else!

Quick! The people are rebelling against the genocide that we’re committing!

Better bring out ol faithful to divide the people: gender politics.

Ah yes. Bigger, better, more deadly weapons will definitely help reduce deaths.

It’s all just lining the pockets of weapons manufacturers.

Gives a whole new meaning to “vote or die”.

Ding ding ding!

They started seeing everyone posting on social media that they’re not voting to support us paying for a genocide.

Just had to wait for there to be 30,000 Palestinian deaths first.

9/11 had 2,996 deaths for a little bit of context. Just imagine what would be happening right now if there were 30,000 dead Americans.

In this economy?

If it’s so difficult, then why was Google able to find the answer to questions exactly like this 6+ years ago?

That was why everyone switched to Google. The search engine just worked.

And frankly a large portion of your post is just incorrect. What you’ve described is how a very bad programmer would build a search engine. It’s overly complicated and requires too much data.

Yeah well, they’re not white and not making us money so our government doesn’t care.

The article says that the only repercussions will be “talks” with the soldiers.

Just a few bad apples, right?

These terrible chemicals are just not worth it at all.

The only people suffering from forever chemicals being banned are the people producing these poisons.

You can’t even drink rainwater anymore. This is killing us.

I really don’t think you can just point at China and completely rule out a system as a concept. It’s also worth noting that communism is the antithesis of capitalism. Why do you think that America aggressively attacked every country that’s ever tried it? If we didn’t attack them straight on, we ran a proxy war against them.

And just because the like 78 people that will see this thread don’t have the answer doesn’t mean that there isn’t one. This is obviously a massive and complex issue that will likely only be solved by all of the worlds power working together.

You can’t just say “Oh we don’t know what to do about this, so I guess we shouldn’t change anything at all”. We can still be taking smaller steps.

Just simple things like better public transit will do a lot. Stronger EPA restrictions on just about every industry would go a really long way.

Saving the planet and endless expansion are simply not compatible. The way we are living is going to kill us all, and it’s just a fact. There are finite resources and the pollution and by products are not going away.

I mean you ever think about how much waste there is from regular everyday things like junk mail? From having to spend fuel on a tractor to plant trees to harvest paper and then process it into paper to then print the bullshit ads on the junk mail and then it has to be delivered and that causes more pollution and then you just put it straight in the garbage.

Or how about the plastic bag they give you with every purchase at literally any store? Those things don’t go away. And we are endlessly producing them, because that’s how capitalism works. You have to increase profits. That’s the whole point.

You can’t reconcile capitalism and the environment.

$100,000,000,000 and I don’t get healthcare because it’s too expensive for the country.

This place fucking sucks.

Huh. It’s almost like this country is a giant scam that crushes people at the bottom and only benefits the owners of these companies.
