Give 'em the ol' Cask of Amontillado
best revenge you could have
- they're aware of what's happening
- they know it's you
- it's long and drawn out
Do you want your brick wall in red or brown?
the local brick store has these nice black fireproofs.
I bet you could get them wall themselves in if you told them it would piss off the liberals.
I couldn’t understand how the holocaust could happen until I witnessed how much joy conservatives take in teasing people for trying to care about others. Fucking demented freaks.
With cheap nuclear energy we could have had electric cars for 50 years thus massively reducing global warming.
The same people who protested for environment protection protested against nuclear energy.
We could not have had electric cars for 50 years because there were no viable electric cars 50 years ago. The lack of electricity was not the reason.
Also nuclear energy is simply not cheap. Modern reactors (those that are actually good and don't explode and don't produce eternal poison) are so expensive that no energy company wants to build them (unless they get a shit ton of subsidies).
If we build more reactors 50 years ago we would have a lot of 50 year old reactors that were designed to last less than 50 years. And upgrading or demolishing them is expensive as fuck.
Also nuclear energy is simply not cheap
The problem is capitalism, not nuclear.
Ad always, the capitalism is the problem
So the problem is capitalism here?
Must be, because all those reactors in non-capitalist places are running just fine and none of them have ever exploded.
Not even one! You can tell this because HBO never made a show about it.
One of the glaring problems is there are "energy companies". Energy should be socialized like food housing education etc. there is no room for companies in this space.
I agree
I forgot healthcare lol
In this instance, no.
To back up your claim about EV non-viability, I would point to the ~2000 Ford Ranger. While the GM EV-1 gets the spotlight, it was a weird car with a specific purpose. The Ranger, on the other hand, was a very normal vehicle with an EV powertrain shoved in where the gasoline wasn't. A few hundred were made. It used lead acid batteries, the only viable option at the time. NiMH and NiCd weren't good for the amperage needed and were expensive by comparison. The Ranger had about a 60 mile range at best and I think 60mph top speed. Great for parks and municipal trucky things, not great for the gen pop. That's just 25 years ago. Sure, one could argue that the main manufacturers could have done better with actual dedication and less comfort with cheap gasoline, but it doesn't change that lithium wasn't commercially viable yet. No other magical source could have appeared either, as even with the current EV push, Li-ion is still the top choice.
Lithium isn't the long term answer either unless you're fine with swapping middle eastern and russian human rights abusers with east Asia human rights abusers. The trade war this year has proven china knows right where to squeeze.

The joke works better when we're not witnessing antifascists getting bricked up day after day.
Also: they about be sipping on Amontillado, and the dudes name should be "Unfortunado".
The thousand injuries of Fascists I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.
For the love of Trump, Montresor!
This argument never made sense to me. The people who say that the new fascism will call itself antifascist also claim to be against fascism so this equals out. It just doesn't make sense as a gotcha. Antifa is demonstrably against fascistic politics and that's the gotcha if there is one
One comment I saw eons ago explained it, it went something like this
"Imagine theres a group called Team-No-Bad-Guy. They gather to yell to stop people doing bad guy things. You don't like those people that they yell at, but you don't like the non-yelling methods Team-No-Bad-Guy uses sometimes. Team-No-Bad-Guy hears you say this and calls you a bad guy and begin yelling at you. You realize that they can call anyone bad guys and you wonder how things would be for you after the big bad guys were gone."
This makes a lot of sense when talking about centralized organizations and movements like the French or Bolshevik revolution. There is a text called something like "why the Paris commune abolished the guillotine and so should we" describing how the guillotine was more and more used against anyone differing from "party line". Similar stories about Russia and for example Kronstadt.
A decentralized organization like antifa on the other hand doesn't have a party line. They can't gain domination over a state. There are individual groups that go rogue but they have no guillotine nor state apparatus and they are a minority within antifa
