I’m not trying to convince anyone. If the climate science hasn’t convinced you yet, nothing will, and I want to repel you to tell you to get out of the fucking way.

Language policing is a common tactic by bad faith actors, especially when their argument is falling apart.

Fuck local industry. China is churning out record numbers of solar panels, eating most of the costs themselves, and we’re going to try to ban the imports and pretend we have the time to build up local manufacturing?!

The building is on fire, and you people are too busy worrying about the language of people urgently pleading to bring in the water from outside, and concerned about how it’ll affect the profits of the local water source.

Absolutely psychotic.

The planet is literally becoming uninhabitable, and you’re concerned about being cordial towards people arguing against radical action.

Eat me.

You’re either an astroturfer or useful idiot spreading oil lobby talking points.

Either you believe the climate science or you don’t. If you do, you know that we don’t have time for industry protectionism.

It’s Sinophobia masquerading as news.

I don’t believe anyone should be able to claim ownership of any ideas or numbers. No math outlawed or controlled. When something is made physical, that’s an entirely different thing, but trying to control 1’s and 0’s is breaking us.

But then we also need to recognize that people need to be rewarded for their ideas, for the benefit of us all, and start subsidizing these. At the very least, we need to establish a basic standard of living that everyone is entitled to, so that people can dedicate themselves to developing ideas they’ll never profit from while not having to worry about being able to house or feed themselves.

Sounds fair to me!

Been waiting for intellectual property reforms for so long, at this point I’d be willing to abandon IP laws entirely. It’s holding the species back.

That’s nice. But you should get a gun. Much more effective fighting method than deleting an app.

I’m pretty certain my country banned Kaspersky because they kept outing western backdoors and malware. And I would bet my life that Windows has supported free use government backdoors since at least Windows 10.
