Oh, yes, that's much better! I didn't know about the Qanon thing, just corrected the style, but I thought, something was off about that phrase.

I love it, but I don't know much about organizing, so I can only offer small corrections. I know it's just a draft, but if you'd still like them:

Probably much more even, if multiple people live in one apartment.

You have a point. They waste much more than just the time for finding what you searched for: think about all the time you have to work to afford to buy junk, because you got manipulated by ads. And other people have to work to make the useless products. And to design the ads.

Everyone thinks they're too smart to fall for it, but companies wouldn't pay Google, if advertising didn't work. They conduct A/B tests and can get pretty good estimates on how much more people spend because of the ads. That amount is how much advertising is worth to them and it's how much we waste on them paying more for cheap or useless products. Again, products you would have bought anyway sooner or later don't show up in the A/B test calculation.

Companies spend over a trillion dollars on ads (all ads, not just Google). And from the above, we can estimate, that consumers waste about the same amount because of ads. That's enough to end Poverty, hunger and climate change and have money left.

And most ads don't lead to a purchase, but still waste your time even after watching it. By altering your sense of self worth, they make you waste your time thinking things like "I'm not good enough".

Most fish and indeed most vertebraes on planet earth are Bristlemouths. With numbers in the Quadrillions, they easily outnumber mammals, birds (including owls) and all the others put together. If an alien race just made a quick stop and beamed up one specimen of a vertebrae species, it would likely look like this:

These are the main inhabitants of earth as far as complex life goes. You just never see them, because they are smart enough to stay below 300 meters deep. Just chilling and signaling with their bioluminescent spots. Even when their main food source migrates to the surface daily, they stay down there. In fact, as they get older and their sex changes from male to female(oh yeah, that's a thing), their swim bladder gradually fills with lipids causing them to slowly shift downwards to deeper depths of over 5000 meters (16400 ft). They seem to hear the call of the abyss. What do they know, that we don't?

It's what limits their size. If insects had lungs, they could get larger. 300 million years ago, when the oxygen content in the atmosphere was temporarily higher, there were huge dragonflies with 75 cm wingspan (2.5 ft).

I don't know about peaceful, but Giovanni Arrighi explains in The Long Twentieth Century , how and why during the history of capitalism, power passed from one Italian city state to another, then to the Dutch empire, to the British empire, to the American empire and is now in the process of passing to China.

There is a newer edition from 2010 and in it, Arrighi writes about China:

accommodating the upward mobility of a state that by itself accounts for about one-fifth of the world population is an altogether different matter. It implies a fundamental subversion of the very pyramidal structure of the hierarchy. Indeed, to the extent that recent research on world income inequality has detected a statistical trend towards declining inter-country inequality since 1980, this is due entirely to the rapid economic growth of China

we pointed out two major obstacles to a non-catastrophic transition to a more equitable world order. The first obstacle was US resistance to adjustment and accommodation. Paraphrasing David Calleo, (1987: 142) we noted that the Dutchand the British-centered world systems had broken down under the impact of two tendencies: the emergence of aggressive new powers, and the attempt of the declining hegemonic power to avoid adjustment and accommodation by cementing its slipping preeminence into an exploitative domination. Writing in 1999, we maintained: there are no credible aggressive new powers that can provoke the breakdown of the US-centered world system, but the United States has even greater capabilities than Britain did a century ago to convert its declining hegemony into an exploitative domination. If the system eventually breaks down, it will be primarily because of US resistance to adjustment and accommodation. And conversely, US adjustment and accommodation to the rising economic power of the East Asian region is an essential condition for a non-catastrophic transition to a new world order (Arrighi and Silver 1999: 288-9).

About the US response to the burst of the new economy bubble and the war on terror, Arrighi writes:

Indeed, to a far greater extent than in previous hegemonic transitions, the terminal crisis of US hegemony — if that is what we are observing, as I think we are — has been a case of great power “suicide”

Less immediate but equally important, however, is a second obstacle: the still unverified capacity of the agencies of the East Asian economic expansion to “open up a new path of development for themselves and for the world that departs radically from the one that is now at a dead-end.” This would require a fundamental departure from the socially and ecologically unsustainable path of Western development in which the costs for the reproduction of humans and nature have been largely “externalized” (see figure P1), in important measure by excluding the majority of the world’s population from the benefits of economic development. This is an imposing task whose trajectory will in large part be shaped by pressure from movements of protest and self-protection from below.

The growing economic weight of China in the global political economy does not in itself guarantee the emergence of an East Asia-centered world market society based on the mutual respect of the world’s cultures and civilizations. As noted above, such an outcome presupposes a radically different model of development that, among other things, is socially and ecologically sustainable and that provides the global South with a more equitable alternative to continuing Western domination. All previous hegemonic transitions were characterized by long periods of systemic chaos, and this remains a possible alternative outcome. Which of the alternative future scenarios set out in thee Long Twentieth Century materialize remains an open question whose answer will be determined by our collective human agency.

Seems like China, with belt and road, is on a good path for dealing with this second obstacle, so the task for leftists in the imperial core is to deal with the first one: contain the violent lashing out of the dying empire and focus our organizing efforts against war.

Yes, it would sound absolutely natural and fair, if a survivor talking about a concentration camp were to say:"The Germans did this to us". And it would sound totally ridiculous to correct them like:"That's racist! Not all Germans! You mean the Nazis did this!". And yet, I'm absolutely certain some people would say exactly this.

All these fears are completely unfounded and ridiculous, but you know what? If I had a button to press for trans liberation, but it actually somehow meant destroying every organized sports competition on the planet forever, I wouldn't hesitate for one microsecond to press it.

If the US went along with NATO

Sadly, NATO doing anything is other countries going along with the US empire. It has never been the other way around. Why should they turn against their own country sized military base?

These "right wing christians" are a militia that's responsible for the infamous massacre of Sabra and Shatila, supported by Israel. The so called "Lebanese Forces" fighters were mostly made up of the Kataeb party, which was founded, after their leader visited Nazi Germany and, deeply impressed, modeled the organization after the brwon shirts, with Nazi salut and everything.

So the US counting on literal fascists again for their regime change operation. No surprise, I guess.

I just checked, Polaris is about ten times younger than sharks. The other two stars of its ternary star system are older, but not visible to the naked eye, so early sharks would not have been able to use them for purposes of navigation.
