      Not hard to believe some one had a full time, shit-paying job and benefits.

      We need stop subsidizing corporations with welfare and make them pay actual wages

            We wouldn’t. But when making demands its useful to make them in such a way that they are theoretically possible within the logic of capitalism as an economic system, but functionally impossible within capitalism the system of class domination. This teaches the workers through struggle the true nature of the system, it removes all doubt. Its a transitional demand.

    I wonder how many of those smug “you really beleive humans can affect the climate of the entire world 😏” types are now going on about the dems making hurricanes?

    And it’s not an unusual belief, unfortunately.

    Belief that weather control is possible is so common that states like Tennessee passed a law to ban geo-engineering / chemtrails. Meanwhile, another different conspiracy is that “the globalists” / “Bill Gates” / “The Rothchilds” / “George Soros” want to cram everyone into densely packed cities (15-minute cities) and they’re using the “climate change hoax” to make people give up their cars.

    If anybody knows any actual, working way to deprogram these cultists, I’d very much like to have some relatives back.

        And if you seed open air with silver iodine nothing happens, which is why you can’t use that to, for example, make rain in the Sahara.

        You need clouds already up there for it to work, which means water vapour getting up there in a high enough quantity that it has liquidified again (that’s what clouds are: lots and lots of tiny water dropplets).

        So what exactly is the geoengineering process that’s put all that water up there in such quantity that there are clouds all the way to the horizon on all side, so thick that the sky becomes dark?

        Our capabilities are about the equivalent of taking a bucket of water from a “creek” passing by in the sky whilst this hurricane would require us to be capable of putting an ocean of water up there, which is nowhere near our capabilities.

          Yup, I said its possible to seed clouds to create rain. I didn’t say its possible to seed the sky to create rain.

            Well, I felt it wasn’t clear from your post that seeding clouds to get them to drop their water is literally the most weather “control” we are capable of doing with current technology.

        Yeah, with an unknown effectiveness. Like, maybe it will rain 5% more, maybe 5% earlier, but no guarantees. But, despite that, it’s widely deployed just in case in some places.

    That’s because Democrats aren’t human, they are demons.

    from an anthropological standpoint, studying Homo Republicanensis is fascinating, but it is objectively horrifying that such creatures exist.

    Can we re-freeze her and put her back in the ice cave where she was found? This is not the unfrozen caveman lawyer reboot I was promised.

    You see this sort of cognitive dissonance from tankies all. the. time.

    They shame Americans for the faults of their government implying we have a functional and legitimate democracy that is at the behest of the people.

    Then they say some shit like this;

    “Americans are directly guilty of the genocide because POTUS supported Israel and Americans elected POTUS.”

    Mfer, the ‘electoral college’ is who you’re mad at. And all those Americans you blame are mad at the same people.

      To clarify, the people on the electoral college are not the issue. They generally follow rules set by their state. If enough states pass laws agreeing to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact then the electoral college then just becomes an obfuscation of the popular vote, without the need to a constitutional amendment.
