Thank you, Comrade Trump | The Strait of Epstein crisis is going to do more to accelerate permanent, unidirectional migration away from fossil fuels to cleantech than decades of environmental activism (pluralistic.net)

Blows my fuckin mind that fuckin Orange Palpatine is accidentally making the whole world switch to renewable energy while he turns the US into a dictatorship. Honestly, it kind of gives me some hope? Like how do you fuck up being H*tler so badly that you make the rest of the world a better place

    So far he's advanced renewables adoption, reduced US hegemony, pushed Europe towards financial, military and software independence... Unfortunately he also caused much death and suffering.

    "Orange Palpatine" gives El Cheeto far too much credit. At least Darth Sidious was clever and could keep his pants up and mouth shut when he benefits from it.

    um... did I say something wrong? I didn't mean to be offensive, it seems like you're having a really strong reaction to something I said

    Does adding unnecessary expletives not convey a strong emotion/reaction?

    It just seemed like they took it personal, rather than it just being me disagreeing with something specific that they said.

    D'you wanna explain what you meant initially? I did assume that I'd offended you somehow because you cursed while disagreeing with me, so I wanted to know what I said wrong. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts. It's a really scary time in the world right now, and I know that we're just randos on the internet but it is important to me to listen when you speak - we're all hanging out on slrpnk so ultimately we share a base ideology.

    I get accused of being an accelerationist that I hope when everything is said and done, something good comes out of this fucking mess. I didn't vote for Trump, hate republicans, but trying to hope for a shiny little sliver is apparently accelerationist.
