From reading some of the comments here, it seems that some people think learning is a net negative or neutral for whoever is doing the learning and that one should learn as little as possible.

They seem to think that because they don’t literally write down the equation of “x²+6” that they never use it in their lives and so it is pointless to learn.

There are also people who seem to think that basing your education off of what could help you not being taken advantage of, or misunderstanding the world around you, is silly and you should only follow what is in your heart. Learning what interests you and nothing else.

I don’t understand either of you, idiots.

Debate me, I guess.

I’m not even reading this horseshit.

Theists can eat shit and die. Fuck off.

LITERALLY the only good thing I could point to in the United States were the national parks. There nothing else of value either within the society or government.

Good job everyone.

No, as in they do things in secret. They used to be more secret, or maybe I am giving their incompetence too much weight.

Not so secret but basically.

No info on the purpose, and no trust that you aren’t a fed.

You do not need to replace your entire diet with home grown produce. Supplement the food you buy from the store with whatever you can grow in the small area you have. You can get a surprisingly good haul from 25ft².

I choose to believe you understand irony.

Sorry I meant here on the home front.

I know communist nations are a good foil to capitalist hellscapes.

Perhaps we should give them a real reason to be scared of us. Instead of all these silly boogeymen ghost stories they come up with, let’s give them something concrete to point to showing that we are a threat to capitalism.

The only thing that I feel is necessary to a society is voluntary participation. I just want to be able to leave freely and join something else. If there’s a dictatorship of the proletariat, and I happen to disagree with them, I want to be able to leave freely. That’s why small communities would be best for that sort of thing.

Demons, the lot of them.

The politicians that is.

Obsidian has been used extensively as weapons for hunting and tools for preparing food for thousands and thousands of years.

But yea like other stones, it breaks.

Don’t worry! There won’t be a future for very long! Ecological collapse will save us!

It’s what Melania got.

“man with giant cock kills locust plague and saves the kingdom, more at 11.”

It’s a real shame those with similar views must needs be so scared to open up about it and find friends, due to the constant infiltration by pathetic feds bent on enforcing the will of capital.

If only there were some way to avoid such traps.

I’m the wrong person to ask. My plan from the beginning has been “die fighting before it gets too bad” and it’s looking like that time is rapidly approaching.

All Oppressors Must Die.

Over the next few years, the world will continue to heat, probably consistent with an exponential curve as we have been seeing for the last few decades. The AMOC (Atlantic meridional overturning circulation -current taking warm water from the Gulf to Europe) is slowing and could shut down at any time. Probably some time after 2030, but not long after.

Insect populations are still in freefall and so is soil aridification/nutrients loss. And with the loss of so many farm hands, it seems quite likely that a collapse of agriculture is on the table.

Fascism will continue to worsen and a world war seems quite likely. Civil war if not. Or maybe both. That’d be fun.

The medical system in the USA will be so strained from the cuts that there will be 10,000’s of deaths. Not that there are not currently, but the death rate in the country is certain to rise.

There could be a notable development in the Thwaites glacier in Antarctica. It could collapse and break up really any time. It’s being melted from underneath and it doesn’t look good. That one glacier could raise sea levels by about 10 ft I think.

Ongoing sea water heating and acidification is devastating coral reefs and biodiversity. This is compounded by the fertilizers that are being used in ever increasing amounts due to the aforementioned soil degradation. The fertilizers cause algal blooms which devour all the O2 in the water and then die off leaving a dead zone. These dead zones have been expanding and becoming more frequent.

Weather radar systems in the USA are being refunded, dismantled or attacked by terrorists at a rapid rate, so most likely there will be massive storms that are complete wild cards in that we will have no forewarning, no expectations of strength, no flight paths, no updating data. This will directly lead to many thousands of deaths.

There are many more horrifying things going on that will clap our collective cheeks in the coming decade/decades. It’s sure to be fun.
