"What are we, a bunch of Muslims?"

In a country with many vocal boot lickers ("play stupid games . . .") it seems like a fair term to have in your lexicon

People frame it so innocently as "uwu the smol bean Jews just want a state" to be obfuscatory of the fact that it is an ethnostate, a thing that categorically shouldn't exist. Not only that, it's an expansionist and evidently exterminationist one at that.

It's certainly true that politicians and the owning class oppose environmental action very strongly, but that doesn't make it hopeless. We, the working class, are the basis of their power and wealth; we concretely have the power to force them to cooperate or topple them entirely. Clearly, the enviromental movements aren't that strong yet, but they are getting stronger and the decaying environment will provide a basis for accelerating their growth as more people like you and I begin to take these issues seriously.

So you're saying you condemn the rapist soldiers at Sde Teiman, the mob that rioted in their defense, and the administration that fostered an environment where that would happen?

Because surely you aren't refering to the fabricated hoax about Hamas doing mass rape. You'll reject it out of hand, but I guess for anyone else reading this, another good breakdown.

and there’s apparently nothing to be done to fix it in our lifetimes,

This really isn't true, and treating it as true will lead to a much nastier future than "it feels really hot out most of the time". It has implications for agriculture and ecological collapse, with entire societies being destroyed and some of the more privileged ones turning to eco-fascism. It's a much darker future than you give it credit for, but also much less inevitable.

(at which point Peter Thiel’s next Moldbug inspired ghoul will present themselves)

It's almost like this mindset is more of a stalling tactic than a strategy, because there will always be some new Threat to Democracy

Having a rapist for a president is a joke.

I've got bad news for you

There might be another Capitol Riot-style clownshow, but like the first time, nothing of real significance will happen. A few zealots and or cops might die, but nothing rising to the level of a "blood bath", let alone a "civil war".

I don't think Trump was being literal when he said bloodbath though. It's a common English idiom.

In some cultural or ethnic sense, you're probably right (though there's the classic joke in Europe that the East starts one country to the east of theirs) but what I mean is that Poland operates as part of what you could call the North Atlanticist bloc.

Patents are not, at their core, a good thing. They are nice for an idealized and transient scenario, but the reality of capitalism is that the vast, vast majority of investment, production, etc. are done by a handful of large companies, and that includes R&D. Patents are, in reality, overwhelmingly one of the many tools large corporations have to shut out upstarts. In short, it entrenches the power of monopolies, trusts, and similar large businesses.

And that's without even starting on how the law can be abused and, with the way our legal systems work, it is fundamentally more abusable for the side that has more money and can afford top corporate lawyers to concoct convenient arguments, leaving little Jimmy in the dust.
