I dig the message, but I don't think that "race/gender/LGBT" topics are unimportant or not worth discussing, obviously. As an engineer I often feel like the work I do is not materially benefitting real people - usually it feels like we are playing with some rich folks Monopoly money trying to implement some magic feature or create some magic product before one of the other teams of people on the other side of the country does the same. It's demoralizing. Having an opportunity to improve the technology related to production of the means of sustenance is the primary goal, but it's really quite rare under imperialism, which is consistently a self-contradicting system. However, the liberatory effects of a modern economy include freeing us from those traditional vestiges of social expectation related to our assigned genders, and as Marxists we should continue to study this as an emergent social phenomenon and not through some close minded lens. Race too has an important and distinct dimension under imperialism which any modern Marxist should be able to see, although maybe from the perspective of a young Chinese person that is not so easy to see? Nevertheless, social and technological progress = good

A crumb of a crumb offered as a maybe. Who's falling for this shit?

WELL LET'S SEE HIM WIGGLE HIS WAY OUT OF THIS ONE

You assume though that the effort required to implement new solar is the same as replacing failed components. The cells may fail but the other infrastructure may last longer - maybe much longer. Putting in a new 5,000 panel solar farm on a hillside is a lot of work, replacing 5,000 panels (maybe so percentage also of inverters and other transmission/storage equipment) over the course of 20-30 years is much less work, because surveying, design, implementation, bring-up and probably a fair bit of manufacturing does not need to be done again.

OOO OOO TEMU OOO OOO TEMU

I think an increase in the militancy of the movement could be good, but this is just adventurism

100% real ass shit

Yeah we need to shoot this guy

The US could open the Egyptian border tomorrow, they could do 100 diplomatic things of various magnitudes to stop the IDF and get aid trucks in. A landing zone for American aid, guarded by the US military? Just wait for a Gulf of Tonkin to happen immediately warranting an American invasion. It's fucked lol

The latest internet spiritualism fads seem to be so invested in a no-rules type of spirituality that is ultimately very solipsistic. I think it's a result of our late capitalist isolation - some people want to push back against it but others fully embrace it. The idea that you can create a whole different reality based solely on your OWN decisions where other people are essentially just objects in your new reality while you maintain subjectivity is very solipsistic. 21st century cults are reflective of our new stay-at-home reality - why go to the compound with the rest of your Brothers and Sisters? Stay at home, microdose mushrooms and colloidal silver, and have your cult delivered to you over the Internet!

They cannot do it any other way. The vertical integration, the monopolization, the ridiculous amount of advertisement, it's all a race towards a shrinking profit. Carve out a smaller niche for advertising with targeted ads (just run your ads for the people who will actually buy your product!) but all you're doing is saturating an almost critically saturated market of advertisers. As the margins continue to shrink, my guess is you'll see a very shitty "free" tier and some very expensive memberships. The "enshittification" continues
