Which is why we need to elect proper socialist parties to ensure equity and that climate survival and adaptation does not become a pay-to-play scheme.

AC is not for filthy rich people. In the era of global warming, AC in heatwaves should be treated as much a human right as heating in cold snaps.

Like I said, either you’re a creep posting some kid’s personal info, or you’re a silly teenager. In both cases, there is zero benefit if I try to …convince you. If you are genuinely curious, please just google “why pivacy matters” and you can read countless articles about that.

Either you’re posting some random kid’s information online or you’re a silly teenager who doesn’t know any better. In both cases, the mods should remove this.

Please list your personal information so we are all convinced you’re not a criminal.

Productivity has soared since the 70s. Tax the fucking rich at 1950s levels. Then subsidize care work.

Get a load of this guy who thinks the labour market is not a power/domination relationship between capitalists over the working class.
- Comment on 🐙 Octopus is Octopus 🐙 2 months ago:
In modern Greek, singular: χταπόδι, plural: χταπόδια.
Transliterated using standard ELOT (that maps χ to ch) singular: chtapodi, plural: chtapodia.
The word is composite and contracted. First part originally is οχτώ (8) (transliteration: ochto) but has been uncommonly shortened to χτα (chta). Second part is the word for foot (singular: πόδι/podi, plural: πόδια/podia).
So without the uncommon shortening in more archaic Greek it would be: οχταπόδι (ochtapodi) and οχταπόδια (ochtapodia).
If ELOT is ignored and οχτώ is transliterated as octo, then you can get to octapodi, octapodia.
- Comment on 🐙 Octopus is Octopus 🐙 2 months ago:
As a native greek speaker, I find anything other than “octopuses” to be silly. In greek we don’t say (any more) octopodes, we say “chtapodia” (the “ch” is the canonical transliteration of the letter χ).

The idea that a language ends up a lingua franca because of its qualities is simply ridiculous. It’s not linguistics, it’s empire. It’s always empire.

That explains a lot.
If they had added “ban Jack Russel Terriers” in that list, some percentage of people polled would have said “sure yea that too”.

I don’t know if this analysis is true generally, Japan is pretty fucking capitalist.
I would argue it’s more a matter of what wing of the capitalist oligarchy has the upper hand. In the US and Canada, it’s the extractive fossil capital and that ultimately holds power. In Japan, or the Netherlands it’s more the manufacturing.
Don’t extrapolate from the US to capitalism in general. It’s more nuanced than that.

Oh boy wait till you hear what the suffragettes were willing to do for another righteous cause, a bit over a century ago. I don’t know man, maybe the government should start reexamining its policies if ordinary people among its citizens are willing to start breaking into airbase and damaging their own planes.
