Don't two of those say it is immoral to charge interest?

Most people do not care about (and do not want to care about) anything under the broad topic of "politics".

If you try to force them to care, they will punish you. That's what we're seeing, but it's also why it's so damn hard to stir people to action before things go wrong.

One way or another you need grid-scale turbines to maintain grid frequency. Solar power can't set frequency and wind power is too variable, so power grids use some sort of turbine to do it.

Nuclear reactors are also necessary to generate things like medical isotopes and tritium for industrial processes, and fusion research. Someone, somewhere on Earth needs to keep their fission reactors going.

Just about every major advance in technology like this enhanced the power of the capitalists who owned it and took power away from the workers who were displaced.

lol but seriously this is the first time I'm not buying a Nintendo console on launch in a long time. Their prices here in Canada were already absurd but this gen is just unreal.

How many once in a lifetime economic events is this now?

I think well adjusted people participating in their communities and meaningful action are not burning cars.

Do you buy Nestle products? Do you buy anything from Amazon? Do you drive an ICE car and purchase gas for it?

If you do any of these things you're an evil piece of shit Nazi and deserve to have your possessions burned to nothing (per your logic)

The car still has utility to the person who owns it. It's "real" value is irrelevant to most people so long as it does what it was supposed to do when purchased.

Once you purchase the vehicle, the damage is already done. There is nothing to gain from busting up cars people already purchased.

As someone who was raised in a conservative family but who climbed through a great many hoops to finally arrive at socialist thought: if you nutters were the left while I made that journey, I doubt I ever would have finished it.

The world has enough psychos in it, please stop hurting people who you can't even be sure are complicit.

I don't know why but some leftists will just find the dumbest fucking hills to die on, while completely ignoring real causes that actually move agendas forward.

Where is this energy in our unions and community groups? Where are these people in town halls and school board meetings? Where are the canvassers, the volunteers, the organizers?

Stop burning cars and start doing some of the damned work you cowards. Invest in your community and show people you're helpful and trustworthy instead of psychotic and destructive.
