Give 'em the ol' Cask of Amontillado
best revenge you could have
- they're aware of what's happening
- they know it's you
- it's long and drawn out
I bet you could get them wall themselves in if you told them it would piss off the liberals.
I couldn’t understand how the holocaust could happen until I witnessed how much joy conservatives take in teasing people for trying to care about others. Fucking demented freaks.
The joke works better when we're not witnessing antifascists getting bricked up day after day.
Also: they about be sipping on Amontillado, and the dudes name should be "Unfortunado".
I'm bricked up right now shawty
I can hear that funky baseline now.
They are a brick, house. That Marduk is stacked and that's a fact. Ain't holding nothing back.

This argument never made sense to me. The people who say that the new fascism will call itself antifascist also claim to be against fascism so this equals out. It just doesn't make sense as a gotcha. Antifa is demonstrably against fascistic politics and that's the gotcha if there is one
One comment I saw eons ago explained it, it went something like this
"Imagine theres a group called Team-No-Bad-Guy. They gather to yell to stop people doing bad guy things. You don't like those people that they yell at, but you don't like the non-yelling methods Team-No-Bad-Guy uses sometimes. Team-No-Bad-Guy hears you say this and calls you a bad guy and begin yelling at you. You realize that they can call anyone bad guys and you wonder how things would be for you after the big bad guys were gone."
This makes a lot of sense when talking about centralized organizations and movements like the French or Bolshevik revolution. There is a text called something like "why the Paris commune abolished the guillotine and so should we" describing how the guillotine was more and more used against anyone differing from "party line". Similar stories about Russia and for example Kronstadt.
A decentralized organization like antifa on the other hand doesn't have a party line. They can't gain domination over a state. There are individual groups that go rogue but they have no guillotine nor state apparatus and they are a minority within antifa

For a second there I thought you did my boy EAP dirty.

With cheap nuclear energy we could have had electric cars for 50 years thus massively reducing global warming.
The same people who protested for environment protection protested against nuclear energy.
We could not have had electric cars for 50 years because there were no viable electric cars 50 years ago. The lack of electricity was not the reason.
Also nuclear energy is simply not cheap. Modern reactors (those that are actually good and don't explode and don't produce eternal poison) are so expensive that no energy company wants to build them (unless they get a shit ton of subsidies).
If we build more reactors 50 years ago we would have a lot of 50 year old reactors that were designed to last less than 50 years. And upgrading or demolishing them is expensive as fuck.
Also nuclear energy is simply not cheap
The problem is capitalism, not nuclear.
I'm sorry but I will put some distrust on numbers coming out of China, especially for big infrastructure projects. They could very well be true but still unobtainable in any country that considers environmental or worker protections. Its a lot cheaper to build big projects when you can simply disregard a lot of the impact.
IF the numbers are true and obtainable without violating human rights that would still only put nuclear on par with solar. Not cheaper. And the same logic that is written in the article the image is from would also apply to solar panels.
... state-owned nuclear developers receive cheap government-backed loans to build new reactors ...
... government also requires electric grid operators to buy some of the power from nuclear plants at favorable rates.
... national mandate to expand nuclear power means that companies can confidently invest in domestic factories ...
Do these things with solar and see the prices half immediately which would put them way below the Chinese cost per Watt again. As I said before: without government subsidies nuclear can not compete with solar and wind.
I'm sorry but I will put some distrust on numbers coming out of China
Sure, ignore the energetic policy of the producer of 95% of photovoltaic panels and greatest investor and developer of electric mobility.
any country that considers environmental or worker protections
Surely China being the world's leading producer of photovoltaics and wind is because le evil gynese govment doesn't care about climate.
IF the numbers are true and obtainable without violating human rights
China doesnt have slave labour, unlike the USA. As a developing nation, worker rights are developing, but they're doing so positively. In the west worker rights are actually decreasing.
As for solar, I'm a huge photovoltaics nerd, and yes, all the policy you listed has been applied by the Chinese government to solar energy too, to the benefit of the entire humanity. In my area, you can buy 5kWp worth of solar panels for 700€, which is nothing short of a miracle. Solar and wind are also extremely subsidized, and that's a good thing. I want a renewable + nuclear subsidized energy mix, and if the government with most solar and most wind is also the one investing most in nuclear, that tells me I'm on the right track.
Chinese government: Blatantly lies about any and everything.
Everyone else: ......
Absolutely everyone: ......
Chinese government: THESE ARE BASELESS ACCUSATIONS AND UNFRIENDLY PROPAGANDA!
Ok, can you please bring me some reading or source at all on Chinese government lies regarding energy infrastructure in the country?
Ad always, the capitalism is the problem
So the problem is capitalism here?
Must be, because all those reactors in non-capitalist places are running just fine and none of them have ever exploded.

One of the glaring problems is there are "energy companies". Energy should be socialized like food housing education etc. there is no room for companies in this space.
I agree
I forgot healthcare lol
In this instance, no.

The thousand injuries of Fascists I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.
