@krapocho@Radical_EgoCom The energy used, money spent, words exchanged for the US election is gigantic, more so if you consider the small differences between the 2 outcomes. I am also convinced that Harris is as cop, as establishment as possible, backed by the worst parts of capital, financiers, and a warmonger. Trump is a is a dangerous supremacist, but probably less for us outside the US than Kamala: a promess of war, genocide and interventions abroad.
@HeavenlyPossum Totally agree. The special status afforded to cars is baffling if you think about it for a minute. Your own little fiefdom on wheels, with 50% of the space in every city free for you to occupy at any time.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/11/chiquita-banana-deaths-lawsuit-colombia Florida court finds banana company funded far right deaths squads in Colombia. They also had access to the company 's port to import weapons/export cocaine. I wonder how much of the violence in my Home country, México, is being fueled by extractivist companies from Canada the US and elsewhere.
@Radical_EgoCom@ethanmcreynolds Also sounds a lot like the Musk's promess of eternal Mars, or the effective altruists bet for a glittering future so they can hoard their billion$ while the rest is left pennyless so vilond can thrive in a possible future. Lots of legroom for manipulation.We are only certain that THIS life exists, and This present. We should work to make it better for all. Here and now.
@RadicalAnthro ONLY national space agencies should be allowed to go to space. How f*ckd up is it that moneyed interests essentially do whatever they want : “ it’s a commercial mission “ and “ we don’t have the framework “. musk&satellites can mess up observations with impunity. Wait till they can extract from asteroids, polluting with no regulations.What could do wrong? Also billionaires and Co will own the only way out to space, holding us hostage. Ban private interests in space now.
