do y'all ever think about how there is nowhere to go without climate change and forever chemicals and just get like
so fucking angry
we can't go anywhere
the shit's in the fucking polar bears and also their home is melting
if there's anyone i would ever be hateful to it's like, dupont amd exxon executives, fucking helldemon people

>>666366
i was just watching a veritasium video about how as soon as they banned c8 teflon (which has contaminated the entire planet already) dupont switched to c6 which is not illegal but is exactly as bad and maybe spreads faster
humans are so stupid

also lowkey like
not that i advocate my own country getting invaded
plus the nukes issue
but we are singlehandedly poisoning everyone on earth with our chemical plants to make fucking cookware and scotch tape
if there were no nukes, and i was like, the leader of china
jussayin

>>666367
i agree with this assessment unless the trajectory changes significantly, yeah
i am honestly less worried about fascism. fascism never lives. freedom always wins the long game.
but not if we all die. not if humanity just, ends.
you cannot have a play without a stage. freedom vs authority is the play. the stage is on fire. so that's always my first thought lol

it's like
yeah it is awful if we sink into that kind of world environment, and also realll bad to do with nukes lying about in terms of risk scenarios
but at this point i would kinda take ecofascists
like fuck we just need anybody to fix the environment for any reason they have about doing it
the rest will come in time
ideally it's green liberal revolution
but yk, if i end up in a camp watching the earth heal while i starve to death i will be at least a little content in my species' future

>>666375
>chemical company independently discovers they are killing everyone
>tells no one cause line go up
classic -.-

>>666377
oh god

i hope you end up like, fine relatively speaking
i suppose if you're a healthy adult now your risk is relatively low but they do stick around in the body. so sorry
also i hope chemours is ordered by the government to give you money holy shit

>>666381
>please understand, we've been investing for decades in trying to figure out how not to poison you but we just can't get the hang of it oops sowwy

>we told the government we were poisoning you under duress so it's okay

grahh

melt their faces

pour forever chemicals down their fucking throats

in minecraft

>>666395
i think our issue is we have decided it's okay in business to just dump things into the environment or into landfills
it should be illegal to treat land that way, because pollution does not respect our arbitrary partitions
companies that put chemicals into the water or air or pump out carbon or methane and do not fully remove or prevent in the first place whatever their by products are should lose their charters and limited liability and the entire leadership be subject to individual prosecution and their assets put to auction

>>666398
the lying is a lot harder to prevent but at a very baseline we need to stop treating this as oopsies resolved by financial restitition and wrist slaps, and treat it as "if you pollute at all you don't get to be a business anymore"

>>666405
i would go a bit further, i think in the process of enacting environmental and democratic reforms around the liberal oligarchy world, north america, europe, east asian partners, and whoever else can be corralled on should develop a full on embargo system, not by nation but by company, for supply chain auditing on adherence to environmental and labor standards
don't comply, don't get to sell to the richest markets on the planet at all

>>666409
maybe sometimes by nation
i can imagine for example even in a non wartime scenario russia trying to skirt these kind of rules and lie a lot to an extent where it becomes impossible to do business with them and be sure they're complying with the standards.
although the russian regime's days are numbered to one man's heartbeat anyway

>>666413
straight to jail for them
lock them up and throw away the key
give them a fight pit and livestream it, for amenities they have to win in the cage

and make the air and water just, disgusting

okay honestly i would feel bad about torturing people and wouldn't do this but i like to imagine doing it

>>666417
i guess if we were gonna torture them in a pit it wouldn't be any less inhumane to just toss them all out of helicopters at once into the ocean or something
i would prefer humane imprisonment though, for a variety of reasons

>>666419
even if you don't, turning them into a caged simp for the new regime you can trot out periodically to apologize for their horrors is useful

i feel the truest victory over evil is making it admit it was wrong, after it's been defanged, and just leaving it to live pathetic with its failings

like i sometimes think if it were possible to engineer the right conditions the theoretically optimal way to deal with nazi war criminals (up to and including a captured hitler) would be to lock them away in reconditioning for awhile then bring them back out on camera to tell everyone what a piece of shit they were

>>666425
yes exactly lol
puyi

puyi had such a strange life what with the manchuoko stuff especially, but i think in the end the way he was put to pasture was kind of one of the best decisions the CCP ever made
>yes welcome to the palace of the empire we disposed, here is the emperor no we didn't kill him he's a tour guide now and just like, a guy, he makes jokes
based

although for hitler it wouldn't be quite so rosy
puyi was not a, yk, holocauster. incidental to fascism at most and born into empire, he's more like charles
hitler would be a tv apology and then you throw him back in his cell to ruminate until he dies

>>666428
honestly maybe hitler would have needed to be executed specifically to prevent fascists freeing him and reawakening his crazy
too much of a figurehead
but no particular need to kill the others. let them live in the hell they made in their minds until they grow old and tired

>>666433
in a perfect world german socialists deposed the kaiser while hitler was in the womb and then he never grew up poor next door to a jewish bank and never became an antisemite and went and made art or something

food stamps for hitler would've prevented hitler

>>666438
if i wasn't a tranny i would've been kinda a piece of shit i think lol

the only reason i am a good person is because i broke away from my designated life path
although
i would also be rich

>>666444
get a two in one with a pen if you do any drawing, they're sooo nice
lots of options in that category

>>666451
wait are these chromebooks
do not get a chromebook
if you can't afford a decent windows or apple laptop, build a desktop instead
chromebooks are garbage

unless you already have a desktop and just need a laptop sometimes

>>666456
oh okay i looked up that ideapad, i guess it comes in a chromebook option

what's your price range

>>666458
getting rid of limited liability corporations entirely would be sort of problematic
then i could go like, press damages on the CEO of mcdonalds if their sidewalk is uneven and i hurt myself at any random store

>>666461
mcdonalds is franchised so that's a terrible example actually
uh, replace that with starbucks and howard Schulz

i do think we need to end all the special legal protections for shareholders of companies, public and privately traded
there's all sorts of weird obligations to shareholders and then the entire system sort of works by squeezing as much profit as possible out of shareholders to pay them back for lying to them about your value so you can lie to the next batch until you get big enough for the government to start bailing you out
all we need to do is remove the bailouts and constant propping up of the exchange markets by insurance rate manipulation, and these companies would fucking implode on themselves in their schemes, and i think what we'd find is cooperative businesses outcompeting traded firms naturally

no one is gonna read my long post about the instability of the shareholder economy sadge

>>666482
>>666485
who do i trust??????
#fish 🐟

>>666487
my point is the structure of llcs exists so that you can sue the group responsible generally
if the owners of a large scale operation were responsible personally for all liabilities, people would be extremely susceptible to constant lawsuits they cannot personally pay for or even attend
and spread out ownership structures like co-ops wouldn't even be possible without some kind of corporate legal framework (or rather, they would, but only in a vacuum -- they'd be impeded in hiring because every employee would suddenly be taking on legal responsibility for everything the business does)

actually starbucks is a good example here, i own some starbucks stock from working there
i don't think if somebody at some random starbucks gets like, idk, a too hot coffee that burns them, that i should have any liability for that beyond however it impacts the valuation of the shares i own
i'm not involved in running starbucks lol

>>666519
#reply is this the new meta???

quadfish w imo is this the new meta???

>>666521
people are always responsible for personal actions even if taken on behalf of a company, as i understand it. llcs don't change the fact that if it can be proven in a court of law that a CEO gave some order that violated criminally-enforcable environmental or other regulations, or rose to criminally negligent harm, they can be sentenced for it
the issue is that when you can't prove who exactly was responsible the companies will often settle or pay fines for tertiary offenses as a way of stopping the investigation
and then on top of that not enough corporate behavior is actually criminalized individually
but like, a CEO can't have an employee go commit a crime and pin it on the company, unless they are hiding evidence

>>666522
ooh you're also making a game? baste

>>666533
are you saying it should be a crime to invest in a company that then commits crimes

>>666536
that's sort of ridiculous. that would make no one ever invest in anything unless they are naive or know the operators personally

i have issues with the whole concept of owner stakes really
the permanent right to vote on a company's actions and/or leech some of its profits is essentially a tax on all current and future workers in the company
it's like, i'm not entirely sure it should be illegal, but i think at the very mimimum it's sort of insane for a company to ever issue those kind of shares without a buyback or time limit clause

my company will NEVER issue owner or voting shares
only loans and bonds
cooperative operation structure that will after my death also pass into a cooperative ownership structure

>>666545
i wish i owned a bunch of stock lel
i will talk all day about how the stock economy is ruining the real economy but if someone offered me valuable stock i'd take it
i mean, i did, i'm holding sbux lol, just not much

>>666549
lolll

i think mine is like $250

i also have something like $5000 in ETH in a wallet i made in college and subsequently FORGOT THE CODES TO

>>666556
yeah lol
but it was only like $70 when i put it in so it's only hypothetical loss

>>666559
i know ugh
i really wanted to go in on crypto at the perfect moment but no one would give me money
so i spent some little i had on it
HUGE return
but i didn't even keep track of the wallet

i lost it somewhere in the shuffle of machine switching
this is why i should write things down in a little booklet

>>666563
i don't use password manager services i don't trust them

>>666565
i would rather use a fire safe and a booklet

>>666567
yeah but if something fucks up in their system and i lose access to the primary account login i lose access to all my logins
i prefer to just devise and remember memorable strings of nonsense alphanumerics with some symbols tossed in

>>666571
eh if you only invest where you've done research it's more like poker
risky, but math

berkshire hathaway is proof that if you have good investing instincts you can in fact win the stock market just by making good calls

if i had money to play stocks with i would train a news aggregator algorithm to give me ledes and then do individual research on the ones that looked promising
with the calls i've already made in the last decade or so (and just been unable to move on) i think i could turn $10k into $10mil

>>666590
okay geez i will consider looking into a password manager
but it really does not matter that much, i have dozens of passwords stored in my brain
i will do this later

okay actually gonna go draw now
