I haven’t figured it all out, obviously, and don’t know exactly the right way to talk about this stuff, but I know this framing is wrong, because when viewed from a certain angle, one could look at any medication for chronic illness this way. I think addiction is a symptom of broader systemic illness, in the same way as body weight correlates inversely to elevation (and hence positively with both toxin accumulation and poverty), or how other diseases corelate with the stress we’re put through.

Kinda suits it, with the title, right?
What the fuck is the matter with you? The man threatens to wipe a country off the map and can do it and you say “chicken”!?
Yeah you have a point I don’t think I’d come at someone IRL like that over wanting to celebrate Trump’s death. I just…don’t feel any victory in that moment and already hear centrists gearing up for another right wing democrat president taking everyone’s attention.
I guess take a long nap to get ready for all you fucking libs to go back to brunch and forget there’s still an empire to fight.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do trains save fuel when they literally park on the tracks and block multiple intersections, with over a hundred vehicles steady burning gas all around waiting for the train to fucking move?
0·12 days agoLike yeah it’s bad. The people who run the train company don’t give a fuck about you or the workers who are being held responsible for way more train than is safe for longer than is safe for them to be working. Oh and they always have to be on call 24/7.
It’s not the train’s fault, it’s capitalism. Take the trains back, let the workers run them safely and efficiently, and this won’t happen.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why doesn't the United States have universal healthcare by now? (Serious)
0·18 days agoIn order to understand that, it helps to look why we never got it to begin with. Do you think this system where we all suffer so a few can be rich was the first thing that came to mind, and then civilization evolved to be better so we got universal health care? No, people cooperated first, and then when communications technology started forming more centralization, started building a pathway to universal healthcare.
But this is America! It’s a settler colonial empire! So of course it was the former slaves who were building cooperatives, and organized labor building a pathway to universal healthcare, and white racists with all the money and power to turn those systems of cooperative support into siphons for them to suck us dry from.

EVs will not solve climate change. Only a low-enenrgy use scenario is sustainable. We have so much more to do than just drive a different kind of car and people are not organizing this sort of effort enough.

My thoughts are sort of like inverse broken windows. Make it have vibes that make the gentrifiers not wanna be around.
- That’s not a very convincing argument.
- …within the context of what I said that would be a compliment? Thanks, I guess.
Littering in certain spaces is a counter-gentrification force that reminds people of the waste in our society. Change my mind
