Agreed, lets just keep doing whatever the capitalists demand until their insatiable greed destroys them and us.

It’s not like it’s gonna take that long. And if not climate change, the AI they don’t fully understand but are trying to monetize. And if not AI, CRISPR derived vectors they don’t fully understand but are trying to monetize, etc.

Lets just stay the course. It will all work out in the end, at least for the planet, and that’s ultimately what matters.

I understand the bitterness, but whoever said the commenter wanted to do what capitalists demand? They just wanted to avoid bloodshed.

There are always options like general strikes, massive voting movements, etc. It’s just a matter of figuring out what will work and how to do it.

If you’re arguing that capitalists will respond with violence, that’s fair, but then the blame is on them, not the workers

These people don’t actually care about statecraft or political science. It’s all about fan service for them.

The severe, civilization scale consequences of the damage we have done, are presently doing, and will continue to do for private profit to our only habitat we all depemd on for survival from one moment to the next also doesn’t care about statecraft or political science attempts to minimize/ignore/discredit it through self-serving rhetoric of those in political power attempting to maintain that power.

Sorry. No bullshitting our way out of this one like it’s just another human on human genocide we can rebrand and massage the messaging of. The physics are determinate, and no amount our patented human extracted snake oil will change that.

Try to spin the greed vice, failing, and personality deficit as a positive like “rational self-interest” all day. Humanity sanctioning and even encouraging that darkest of impulses did this.

That isn’t what I said and I think you know it. Next time just say you don’t know the answer either and save yourself the effort.

I know what humans are going to do by our track record. Kick the can until there is a physical obstruction preventing it.

We will talk the biggest of games claiming otherwise the whole time, though. Surely rhetoric will save the day this time!

You seem to know a lot for a guy who hasn’t been able to suggest any kind of realistic solution.
