False scarcity and hoarding capital

It was probably because the munitions didn’t fit in the cargo plane with the fighter jets and armored vehicles that were due to be shipped.

Hopefully it’s just a minor delay and we can get back to killing children soon 🤞

If they didn’t sell oil, there wouldn’t be a giant, pseudo-city in the desert. Those people would probably build elsewhere, if at all.

That’s-a-me!

While true, it may be time to realize that we will never have all the answers. And the amount of questions that need answering will trend towards infinity.

Imagine how many people can be fed with €20,000,000,000. Or homeless housed. Or children educated.

Instead, a few elite scientists (likely from a well connected family) will be conducting research that is basically unsolvable and is incomprehensible to human minds.

There is also a high likelihood that the technological discoveries will be used for military purposes. Such as displacing and/or killing those homeless, starving, uneducated children.

The cherry on top is the impact on the environment. The amount of precious metals required for such a project requires heavy mineral extraction. A particle collider uses massive amounts of power as well.

But yes, we will create groundbreaking (literally) new schools of mathematics that will disprove earlier theories. Until of course it is disproven itself by yet another future theory. Unless we all kill ourselves before then, that is…

Lol good point. We will come out of this with more questions than we started with…

This looks kind of like an old expressway that was converted into a town.

Probably cause the mountain skies are covered with artificial snow that is blown in using snow machines.

That’s pretty NEAT!

I totally get the sentiment, but our individual effects are miniscule when compared to the devastation caused by a few wealthy elite.

Even if the entire world’s population went vegan overnight, that would still only reduce emissions by 10-15%.

Solar panel tech has exploded over the last 10 years, yet CO2 emissions and power consumption have grown faster still.

Considering this is very much a time sensitive issue, I’m beginning to believe that the most effective use of resources would be direct action against the fossil fuel industry and military industrial complex. Things such as monkey wrenching, blockades, and other more radical means of force.

Of course not everyone is willing to personally go and cause damage to physical assets of corporations, fearing arrest and punishment. But some people have very little to lose and are willing to put their personal safety on the line.

For the others with more to lose (families, etc…), they can still help by identifing targets, keeping watch, donating tools/equipment, and even providing funding for more action, bailouts, legal fees, etc.

There is a reason the word punk is used in SolarPunk.

Jewish people don’t celebrate Christmas, so they must keep working hard at their jobs…/s

I literally just watched John Oliver’s special on them and he they are again… I wonder how much other shady shit they are doing that’s going under the radar

Every bullet fired, every bomb dropped, is money in the bank for American military corporations.

Similar reasoning for a prolonged war in Ukraine.

Lol too late for that. They have already surpassed the USA in everything except military spending, prisoner population, and opioid deaths.

Huh… is Joe Roganisn an identity now?

But butt

And anesthesia

You realize Israel has been the aggressor for over 20 years, right? Palestine has finally gathered enough military resources to counter attack in retaliation. It’s self defense at this point

Agreed. Art is the single most powerful tool used to start cultural revolutions.

The Renaissance only happened because of artists’ ideas were spread in a meaningful way.

The music and psychedelic art of the 50s-60s inspired the hippie movement.

Currently, we are being inspired by cyberpunk art. I guess that’s the natural progression of capitalism. But it will eventually fail. And when it does, SolarPunk will rise.

What’s 1 ÷ 1?
