The image may offend him in hell, it’s true. I can abide it or I wouldn’t’ve posted it

People will say this does nothing but eventually it’s not an insurance payout, it’s higher premiums for all these corporations

Refusing to use a bidet, clearly.

Thanks for the sources I’ll come back after I do some reading!

Reddit snark because you ran out of things to say other than “no u” meanwhile I have the generosity to explain the basics of industrial development to someone who clearly despises me over nothing. How’s it feel to get old lmao? You are genuinely twelve years old education-wise bruh how do you not know older industrial equipment has worse emissions?? Are you a fucking rabbit? How did you get on the COMPUTER???

Have you done anything other than make these stupid comments for years? You have nothing to show for you efforts.

Do I need to link you back to the start of the conversation sweetheart?

Again, go read the conversation numbnuts. I WAS THE ONE WHO SAID BETTER ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICES—YOU WERE THE ONE WHO SAID OVERALL HIGHER EMISSIONS

🚨 FORGETFUL DODDERING OLD MAN ALERT 🚨

YOU’RE BIDENING BRO MODS HE’S FEELING UP MY BOYPUSSY AAAAAAAA

Lmao see I roped you back in so easily after you acted like you were all done, “thanks for playing” now you’re trying to quote by quote deboonk someone MAKING FUN OF YOU HAHAHAHA you’re the one who needs to grow up bruh telling other people what to say when you can’t even understand a word. Lil buddy you gave up as soon as you decided to debate a misconception you had about what someone wasn’t saying. You didn’t address any of what I said, only what you thought about me, which I don’t care about. I prefer coherent conversations with normal people! You read the articles about The Guardian saying it’s afraid of the higher emissions of African industry, relative to the imperial core, no? Are you seriously not able to see how the argument is made to deny high industry to Africa in order to hoard it for the West? You are pro-EXISTING PETROCHEMICAL MONOPOLY. Hence your seething at me. Nobody will ever give a shit about how you want them to talk. You don’t matter, you just say inaccurate shit & make a good punching bag whenever you pop up like a gopher. It provokes a better understanding of how to explain things to idiots that aren’t as intractable & salty as you are.

Yes, I am serious, I drink your fucking milkshake! SEA petrochem is ours now! You guys threw the game!

That’s right mfer, I will continue to assume Yandex search access & a grade school education on the part of my audience. Consider yourself forever counted out! You went from saying it’s not a gotcha to admitting yes, it is a gotcha, & you oppose the utilization of the petroleum industry by developing country, then ignored everything I said which was inconvenient to you. Wait until you see what I do in Africa! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Fake ass pseud mad on the internet again, you’re always so mad & you go excuse yourself to pout! This is why nobody spoon feeds people! You lack BASIC THINKING SKILLS your MOMMA didn’t teach you bruh. I’m so powerful I can afford to let you feed off the tip of my dick. I can spare the calories big boy

Since you generally fail subtext: I WORK IN THE PETROCHEM INDUSTRY THIS IS NOT A GAME & YOU’RE THE ONLY ONES WHO WANT EVERYONE ELSE TO LOSE. I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE

Yes, it is interrogating the mangled point that assumes background info, instead of the clarification of what I meant + it’s in the spirit of pedantry not inquiry, you’re going back to what I said about emissions as if I’m literally implying these papers actually argue that Africa is already in same the position as semi-industrialized light manufacturing powers like Indonesia, the Philippines, Mexico, other areas that have developed some industry in order to make products for Western companies.

Fucking lunacy I’m not spoon feeding you all of The Guardian’s trademark ecofash articles https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jun/14/africa-gas-exploration-climate-disaster-un-reserves https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/nov/07/pollutionwatch-africa-increases-reliance-fossil-fuels#comment-135267211 https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/africa-future-coal-oil-renewables-water but here’s a few

If the alarmist framing “carbon bomb” doesn’t give it away here, it’s the future threat of Africa’s development destabilizing the western financial system that concerns them. Not chiefly what would happen climatologically if they started using a lot more fossil fuels in order to keep up with demands of globalization + their respective debt traps. Just look at migrant labor on farms and first world countries. These people aren’t interested in mechanization. They’re interested in slavery. They never seriously invested in the green technologies that would allow Africa to develop without this carbon bomb going off, instead they wrote articles about how green energy wasn’t economically viable. Why isn’t avoiding the apocalypse economically viable? You’ll find there’s only subtle difference between Tories and Labour or whatever tf you people have over there now on important issues.

On western conditions, “climate protection” projects have become a semi-successful recolonization strategy where NGOs control African land instead of its inhabitants. Global emissions are used as political leverage to achieve this. They talked about using western state funds & retirements to spread a large forest preserve across the Sahel—this was of course pre-AES revolutions. Echoes old school feudal land agreements writ large, meant to ensure resourceful regions remain backwaters

Terrible you should spend months crafting The Perfect Post for This Community again imho

That’s what I mean. I see the notifs, it’s just on the user end like “my downloads randomly fail and I have to try a diff source” I get why it happens. I just think the seed/leech model is saner

Interesting, got a link?

You guys should do a ping list for this. Like, whenever someone posts, they drop the notification list, and people can get added to it by replying. Other megathreads do this. I like following this one

I mean I have like 300gb of music ripped from Soulseek just with my phone in the past few months, but that doesn’t change the fact I’m using an app that looks like it’s from 2010 (which is awesome I made this post as an excuse to plug it with the new update) to do it. The usability does suck, downloads randomly fail because I can’t upload with my setup & honestly I have no desire to contribute to a proprietary network, I seed stuff I find on there that I like on normal torrents

Yeah “will to power” isn’t real. You end up hunting for the Holy Grail and shit

“It’s not a gotcha”—proceeds to interrogate the point that was already clarified. Eat my entire ass snookums

Not my fault if you never read a Guardian article about the chilling prospect of Africa industrializing in the past fifteen years. You had time

Just to underscore what you said, this is achieved in FOSS via control of non-profit orgs & a monopoly on consumer chip architecture (for the time being)

Well this is more about the land use policies that the Europeans push on them, but you can easily find workshops of them “instructed African farmers on better ecological practices” and shit like that. They write articles about the dangers of monocropping, pesticide use, etc, all practices their debt system demands to keep up. They insist these countries do not develop higher industry even car factories as it would be a carbon explosion, that’s been fixed with electric veh— But that would require background information, why not just attempt to gotcha me to misrepresent what I’m saying (the only thing anyone on here knows how to do)
