Lol ok

You are upholding centuries old white supremacist falsehoods that essentialize the diversity of human bodies. Please consider touching grass and decolonizing your remaining brain cells

Yes. But actions speak louder than words

I’ve been reading his shit for many years, he’s a radlib

Being a liberal like Umair sounds miserable

“This guy was a classist jerk, therefore basic ecology doesn’t apply to humans bc we’re special” uwu

Anarcho-Primitivism + Anarcho-Transhumanism = …Post-Civ??

Yeah they misunderstood it

Global industrial civilization has about 15-20 years before energy importing countries begin to de-industrialize due to a permanent energy crisis. I’d suggest looking into a project like this: https://collapseos.org/

If you are a hardware person, I’d also strongly consider exploring how to build an integrated circuit without a billion dollar clean room

My input is you’re an asshole

Yeah “are the straights ok” isn’t an insult, I am legitimately concerned for their health and wellbeing

“It also has an important flaw, in that it drastically underestimates the quantity of natural resources available for extraction.”

Using the word ‘available’ here is misleading, Earth has lots of resources that will never be extracted because it is thermoeconomically unreasonable to access them. Digging stuff out of the earth isn’t free and the harder the dig the bigger the cost.

To super simplify it, the falling rate of return on energy extraction (called Energy Return on Energy Invested or EROEI) means that industrial civilization will grind to a halt within 25 years, even if climate change was not a factor. We’ve extracted all the easy fossil fuel plays. You can read more here: https://surplusenergyeconomics.wordpress.com/2021/06/23/203-surplus-energy-economics/

As a non-binary person, all I can say is, people comfortable with their assigned gender don’t even think about this. So take that as you will.

It took me about twenty years from thinking “yeah I don’t identify with men” to “ahhh I am not cis”. So don’t worry if you don’t have it all figured out yet.

“Marx ripped off Marxism from anarchists“

Literally correct, much of Marx is repackaged Proudhon which was published eight years prior to Das Kapital

I have been studying this for over a decade, and my current feelings are that there are many possible futures, of varying likelihoods. The ones in which western civ does not collapse and be replaced are not very likely. But what does that mean?

It appears that the financial system has avoided another global financial crisis via unlimited money printing by sacrificing the integrity of the usd. This will lead to the end of the Bretton Woods/Petrodollar system, which is why you are starting to see geopolitics and conflict heat up again; the global order is falling apart.

We are years away from a serious energy crisis that will dwarf the 1973 oil embargo, and it will be permanent. I can go into this in more detail but it is based in physics and is completely unavoidable.

We are a decade away from widespread permanent water shortages that will cause mass migration out of areas without water.

And of course, climate change will cause massive, overlapping famines.

Any one of these might be survivable for a civilization. All of them at once won’t be.

I know its bc I’m confusing him with Hitchens but every time I see him in a headline I have to remind myself he isn’t dead. Gonna do a big crab dance when he is tho 🦀

shocked pikachu face

Typically when testicle havers have them removed (and aren’t transitioning) they start taking testosterone bc they aren’t producing it themselves. That could explain your situation. Sorry for this, don’t lose hope

Tankie: “Communities are reactionary”

Red anarchist: sobs “Noooo communities are good and important!”

Individualist: “Communities are reactionary”

Please, no slurs, write it as Va*sh

Nihilism needs better PR and a greater emphasis on finding weird bugs

Thanks I hate it
