Just a silly joke of course. Gallows humor. In order to combat climate change you’d have to re-design how we live and work and our economic system and reset existing wealth inequalities, re-design and rebuild thousands of industrial processes, and change multiple systems that are in place. For example you’d at least have to:

1. Ban advertising to reduce desire/demand for consumption
2. Ban patents (at least in the current form) so industrial processes can be re-designed and rebuild without roadblocks
3. Nationalize news and social media and turn them into a cooperative under the control of the workers there
4. Invest into R&D for circular economy and development and regulation for long lasting appliances and goods that last decades with repair and maintenance

Basically what we learned is that it’s practically impossible for humanity as a global civilization to stop climate change. Most people can’t even bear to think about the steps it would take.

Of course, developing the technology for a sustainable circular economy for the basic needs (food, energy, education, building shelters, communication etc) is still worthwhile.

Ironically crashing the economy is one of the best things you can do to slow down climate change

Haha I imagine they need at least unique ip addresses to count. Now I wonder if for clicks to count you need to properly click through and load the target website with the same “browser fingerprint”.

Interesting, was wondering about this. This would also “help” the websites with more ad income right?

It was also a grand experiment in war fighting, one that would not only help the Ukrainians but reward the Americans with lessons for any future war.

How hateful this reads after 700,000 Russian and 435,000 Ukraine soldiers died and the clear signs of this being a proxy war of NATO vs Russia. Ukraine was manipulated and used, Russia provoked. NATO openly admitted to this and even though it’s still covered up by the media in lockstep when the war eventually grinds to a halt, the Ukranians will ask questions.

I suspect there will be decades and decades of recrimination and hate from Ukraine towards both the east and the west. A fascist Ukraine could become a terrible security problem for both Europe and Russia. Ukraine is good at propaganda, as seen with the KyivNotKiev campaign, and they will drag Europe down.

All this death and suffering, for what? Cheap real estate in the east?

Just peace means total war

Seriously? With everything going on this is what people want to rage about? How disconnected do you have to be?
