Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, this seems pretty irrefutable and apolitical haha

A joke i’ve heard among systematists is that there are lumpers, splitters, and then paleoanthropologists
Does anyone else just shuffle them around every few months to a new place, just to feel productive? I had them in a bookmarks folder for a while, then saved in a desktop folder, and just last week i consolidated them in a LinkWarden repo
The democratic party establishment failed us in this last election and the wound is raw. OP’s post demonstrates further actions of the democrat leaders that are maligned with a just and livable world, and it feels like rubbing dirt in that wound. I think it’s pretty expected to see these ‘fuck democrat’ comments in response to this
This is a really interesting part of the Red Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson
I definitely think this is backwards. its the humans that are less likely to overhunt the animals that they evolved alongside. If the animals are part of your culture/religion/ecosystem you’re not going to wantonly destroy them. But as humans spread, the animals may not have meant as much to them culturally, or they didn’t know how to not overexploit them. Like the first people in north america were likely a key factor in the loss of megafauna, but then became stewards of many existing megafauna/ecosystems as their culture adapted and they became more grounded in place
I mean, this is semantic. People have been treated as property. Just like land has been treated as property. Is it right? Fuck no. Let’s build a world where this is not true, but right now and historically it is
We have very little say in how our government works. Over the course of US history the material decisions have been whisked away to less democratic structures (eg the supreme court, the federal reserve). Even early on the democracy was built for property owners (owners of people and land). People are feeling disenfranchised and the vote for trump is a (petulant) vote to flip the gameboard. Of course voting for trump is one of the worst things you can do if you want you and your community’s lives to improve, but the fundamental motivation is disenfranchisement and anger
I mean, in the US, the archetype of progressive policy success, the New Deal, was only possible because of labor militancy and the threat of systemic collapse. That should give an idea
“Property owners” covers both and is more concise
This mobile app is not associated with the current open source project. Like i think it’s a vestige from before they went open source. They recommend using actual in your mobile browser for now, which works decently well
