Me, an idiot: “So, kids, by setting the thermostat a little lower and eating less meat, we’re doing our part to make the world more sustainable”

VCs, very smart: “We just raised $100 billion dollars from the sovereign wealth funds of three petrostates to build the world’s largest AI supercomputer. It uses as much power and water as Guatemala and the primary use case is for management consultants to autogenerate powerpoints for justifying mass layoffs.”

@jimray big problems like the climate crisis cannot be solved at the individual level, these are systemic problems driven by the selection pressures of the global capitalist system.

Abolishing capitalism is the only way forward.

@yogthos @jimray I wonder what the alternative to capitalism is.

@graywolf @jimray seems pretty obvious that it's communism

@yogthos @jimray I am not really enthusiastic about what the current capitalism looks like, but if the alternative is communism, regime with more blood on their hands than even Hitler, I am not sure I would prefer it. Is there a third option?

@graywolf @jimray so what you're saying is that you're an ignoramus who guzzles propaganda out of a fire hose.

Maybe spend a bit of time actually learning about what Communists have accomplished instead of regurgitating nonsense.
