      Yeah, can we get a comment on how the mods and admins didn't lead a community wide effort to laugh at and bully pro Biden libs? It is current day and he is still a rapist, racist warmonger whose brain is a Pokemon item list after surfing off the shore of cinnabar island.

        My favourite experience this year is being told voting for Biden is a good thing and harm reduction and tried to shame me for shitting on the war criminal rapist monster

    When the Chinese crack down on radical Islam, its called genocide

    When France does it, its national security

      That seems consistent with their mod policy, as they see it as genocide denial. And if it turns out it isn't actually genocide denial, well, the united states needs a common enemy to stay unified, so defending china is pretty much treason anyway

      Someone accused me of being a paid CPC bot and I replied verbatim “You are fucking deluded.” Apparently that was breaking civility rules but accusing others of being paid foreign agents is fine

      Yelling into the void here,

      I like the void on chapo dot chat, it's why I keep coming back.

      I'm sorry your friends won't listen to you. I'm not sure how anyone from a developed country who's not wealthy can gaze into the US and think that it's a good idea to move here, even if they have ultra romantic ideas about living in sunny California or cosmopolitan New York or something.

        Literally not knowing the situation. Believing it's better. I have a few friends who are ok. Not wealthy but ok, so I can see how seeing them would make the US seem better. Also reputation of certain institutions and companies as prestigious and good.

    Waded into r/politics today. Had to search by controversial to find that Erin Brockovich article about how Biden shouldn't hire people from DuPont for his climate taskforce. Basically all the comments were like "THIS ISN'T THAT BAD GUYS, HOW DARE YOU QUESTION THIS."

    We're fucked.

      Top comment is so cringe:

      Not all hires like this are bad. It can be a good idea to have someone from the industry to help forecast how they'll react to new guidelines, how to interact with industry, and what concerns are from their perspective. If he fills most of it with these people, this can be an issue.

      Quit overreacting to everything

        How do these people "listen to the science" regarding climate change, look at every climate initiative in the last 25 years fail because of ghouls like this, and still think appointing ghouls like this is a good idea? It's just insanity

          Because they're fucking idiots. As it turns out, most people who vote are morons being lied to, and they WANT the lie. Reality is not what they seek. That would mean they would have to do something about it and that's scary :(

    Silicon Valley isn't even hiding the fact they are listening to you from your mobile device. Wife and I had talked about buying a fridge near our devices. And here I am on Spotify getting bestbuy refrigerator ads.

    Fucking dystopia.

    I wonder what would be the benign use for this data, if we lived in a socialist or communist society, research? Planned Economy?

      There is no use for this. Setting aside the moral implications of near inescapable surveillance; it's a massive waste of processing cycles, storage space, and electricity. A planned economy could get the same information with a small scantron questionnaire.

      Daily reminder overpopulation is not the problem and is an ecofascist talking point

      If you rank the greatest polluters by country the number one spot isnt even a country its the US military

      On average, one American consumes as much energy as

      o 2 Japanese

      o 6 Mexicans

      o 13 Chinese

      o 31 Indians

      o 128 Bangladeshis

      o 307 Tanzanians

      o 370 Ethiopians

      The average American individual daily consumption of water is 159 gallons, while more than half the world's population lives on 25 gallons.

      Americans eat 815 billion calories of food each day - that's roughly 200 billion more than needed - enough to feed 80 million people.

      Americans throw out 200,000 tons of edible food daily. While 250 million people have died of hunger-related causes in the past quarter-century roughly 10 million each year (that just shows that Americans dont really care about "famines".

      Each person in the industrialized world uses as much commercial energy as 10 people in the developing world. The poorest 10% accounted for just 0.5% and the wealthiest 10% accounted for 59% of all the consumption.

      “With less than 5 percent of world population, the U.S. uses one-third of the world’s paper, a quarter of the world’s oil, 23 percent of the coal, 27 percent of the aluminum, and 19 percent of the copper,” he reports. “Our per capita use of energy, metals, minerals, forest products, fish, grains, meat, and even fresh water dwarfs that of people living in the developing world.”

      Next time you hear about a woman in India who has seven children, remember that she'd have to have more than 20 children to match the impact of an American woman with just one child.

        I don't think it's really surprising to anyone, but the amount of food waste in the US is truly staggering put into numbers. If food was distributed more equitably we could eliminate hunger in our nation and several others.

        I agree with everything you say, but the thing is as societies develop, eventually everyone will start consuming like an American, so the fact that people in India or Africa consume less will not always remain true. Family planning is not fascist
