New report skewers Coalition’s contentious nuclear plan – and reignites Australia’s energy debate (theconversation.com)

The report’s central conclusions – rejected by the Coalition – are relatively unsurprising. It found nuclear power would be far more expensive than the projected path of shifting to mostly renewable energy. And delivering nuclear generation before the mid-2040s will be extremely challenging.

I’m still really unsure why some socialists have decided that because China carries the flag of socialism, that it means they’re automatically good at everything, ever. And everything bad about it is western propaganda.

No one thinks this. It's a lazy straw-man. And I'm fairly sure you know that.

I think you'll find there are numerous comments around Lemmy with this sentiment.

To be fair, it's not everyone on .ml, but damn, it is a lot

And apologies for taking it out on yourself, that wasn't cool of me

No, you won't. You will not find a single one. Not one, not every, not anywhere. It is a lazy straw-man that you have made up. No actual person holds that position and you will not find a single example

And apologies for taking it out on yourself, that wasn’t cool of me

Go back to reddit you fucking dweeb.

Not one, not every, not anywhere.

You have lowered my bar for success, challenge accepted (should I remember the next time I encounter one in the wild).

And jeez, sorry for apologising, I guess?

I don't think it's a straw man to say there are many people out there who look at countries that hold or held the banner of communism or socialism through extremely rose tinted glasses, and many of them are on Lemmy.ml

Annoys me because I'm a socialist (in my eyes) and think these people detrimental to convincing others of socialism's merits.

Anyway, challeng accepted, mr grumpy pants.

Ok. That's not what you claimed. Now you're just lying

And apologies for taking it out on yourself, that wasn’t cool of me

Like I said, go back to reddit you fucking dweeb.

My original comment was exaggerated, but essentially the same.

I haven't been on Reddit in years

You're very grumpy, hope you're going alright mate, I shall leave you to it.
