I can safely say fire was discovered, not invented by man.

Batman Returns is in my holiday movie rotation.

"let"

The sociopath fascist capitalists won. They have multilayered protection from us from propaganda dividing us and turning us on one another without end to government capture and having the exclusive use of state violence to protect the capital markets and literally having state sanctioned murder for for private profit. This isnt a war, this is a well oiled Orwellian occupation. The people surrendered half a century ago without terms and received the delusion that they'll be the rich ones one day herp derp.

We can't do anything about the misery they spread, and that sucks. We don't have to add to our misery by pretending there's hope and we can turn any of it around. They're going to do what we're going to do and short of being a lone "terrorist" that takes a pot shot at them like Luigi there's nothing to be done, because half of us are too cowardly and social opiate addicted(fast food, social media, literal opiates, etc) or too deluded and actually on the robber baron's side out of pick me mentality to take it as a rallying cry.

Only the planet itself, our shared habitat, can stop them. And it will, regardless of all the studies they kill, ecological treaties they betray, and all the propaganda they spread. The capitalists reign of terror will end when enough of their suckers are starving, not before.

We're going away folks, and nothing of any true value will be lost, except all the species that did live in homeostasis with the Earth that we're taking with us in our species' avarice induced murder-suicide

Another neoliberal.

I agree, but I don't think there'll be another real election here for a long time if ever, and I'd rather vote for her than another hypercapitalist enslaver with pride ribbons(D) to stop hypercapitalist enslaver with scapegoats(R) yet again as I've done my entire life in our descent to oblivion. There's not really rational hope either way. The capitalists won and have us by the balls in every way, including tens of millions of deluded minds that have learned to love and defend the Massas and their "free market" directly against their own interests.

Climate change is going to end planetary scale civilization in 50 years max, probably 20-30. It's blowing past all projections because we were conservative and both couldn't and didn't want to consider the runaway effects. I honestly think Kamala was my last pragmatic funeral dirge vote. Give me something to vote for and I'll show up. I haven't had a federal level candidate to vote for in a general in my entire life though. I doubt AOC will become the first after the DNC uses every lever to end any primary run.

Also because both of our major party machines would cooperate in attacking her.

Neoliberals would rather lose power than signal to their bribers that their party isn't bought and paid for. President Ocasio-Cortez would be such a signal.

The DNC promotes on the basis of potential federal level reps getting bribe money. AOC was a spoiler and is not welcome in the party because of her views. That's why the Neoliberals in congress don't care Trump is in office and even help him with appointments.

Neoliberals like Pelosi would lock arms with the Fascists and treat a President AOC like the threat we wished they'd treat their fascist opposition like, but they have too much in common on the same Economic policy they're both well bribed to enact and protect from us.

Which is why, all the more, AOC is a good choice. The hatred of our true oppressors on Wall Street is welcome. At worst, it will further demonstrate that the American people aren't permitted by big corpo to have a real choice in governance, only hypercapitalist robber baron enablers paid to divide us on social wedges as they legislate new ways for the owners to monetize sucking us dry.

Neoliberals are still openly hostile towards her.

Queen Neoliberal Pelosi spent more time in the lameduck period undermining AOC's committee appointment than Trump's Presidency.

That's good enough for me as a leftist knowing the context that she really is about as left wing as our pathetic, deluded, propagandized, under or miseducated populace could ever elect as we are.

I don't have any hope anymore, this nation died under Reagan and it's just a slow falling corpse as far as I'm concerned, but for anyone looking to cling to at least borderline rational hope, someone in her position is your best bet, because she's a known name, that matters in our shitty celebrity obsessed culture, she proves every day that a leftist can be professional and govern, that matters because leftists are painted as anarchist boogiemen without a plan in most American news media, and she's photogenic and naturally charasmatic, which shouldn't matter but sadly does.

There isn't an individual to the left of her that I can think of that could conceivably get elected President in this cesspool of willful ignorance and systemically stoked division of the poors, can you? Even her becoming President would be a moonshot. That isn't a knock on her, she's one of about 4 members of congress (or executives in the fortune 1000) I'd give a glass of water to if they were dying of thirst, that's a knock on our gold plated shithole and people, not her. She's a diamond in the rough.

I take great solace in knowing that for all the dirty tricks we play on one another to fuck each other over and get moar, greed made climate change itself cannot be bribed, discredited, scapegoated, cut in, threatened, me too-ed, or divided into attacking itself instead. That shit only works on other humans but it's hilarious to see humanity try anyway, because it's all we know to do for our problems.

I feel bad for all the innocent species we're taking with us, and the ecosystem for the next 2 or so million years while the earth recovers from us as it has with other runaway metastatic mistakes of evolution that threatened the whole, see the trees of the carboniferous period, but Im glad our reign of terror on this world, the creatures on it, and each other will end soon, and no amount of human bullshitting will save us.

If they outline their methodology and outcomes, if science indicates an economic system will maximize wellbeing for the most individuals in a society, it should be our system based on the information available. And it should change if new data supercedes the old.

Capitalism has proven to be incompatible with democracy over time and detrimental to any social contract. It's a "die alone" economic system on a planet we need to care for and live together on. We ain't getting to mars, we're killing the planet the human habitability of the world we came from and this was super easy baby just don't shit where you sleep mode and we keep proving we can't even do that.

I'll never understand people that denegrate the scientific community. They and their predecessors are the reason you aren't going to be dead by 30, why we're even able to bitch on the internet right now. The scientific method and community have done more for humanity in 500 years than every theologen and diety mankind has ever been inspired to pull out of their ass.

Capitalism will end in the next 50 years, either by murder of it or the mass ecological suicide it causes. It's pathetic how many people that are willing to end the species so they can pretend they'll be rich the rich assholes living on the poors backs one day.

Who will evaluate need and merit?

Doctors and academic performance records aka grades weighed by academics, not bloodsucking capitalist leeches.
