Make no mistake this is a trick.

Russia HAS NO DIESEL TO EXPORT. They’re importing at a huge government loss from India.

This fake deal accomplishes exactly two things:

1. It lets Trump give Putin money for arms against Ukraine and all Putin has to do is middle man Indian diesel.
2. It lets Trump attack Ukrainians when they strike Russian refineries because they’re "bombing our American diesel supply chain.

The US is a NET EXPORTER of diesel. They don’t need more fuel. The problem is the market price is increasing due to mostly Hormuz since Russian oil is sanctioned. All he’s doing is lifting this sanction to pay Putin to buy arms. Stopping Putin from trading fuel for arms was the entire purpose of the sanctions in the first place.

Trump is a traitor.

Russia doesn’t have diesel to export. They’re now a net diesel importer, mostly from India.

That’s two different things. We SHOULD use violence to defend ourselves against fascism. But that doesn’t mean killing all the conservatives once in power. That’s hierarchal thinking.

Fighting fascists isn’t the same because fascists are clear enemies literally seeking our death and misery. That’s defending yourself and your community.

That’s a conservative thought. The main feature of conservatism is a social hierarchy where the law is meant to bind and punish those at the bottom.

Even though conservative ideology is poison which should be eliminated through education and a clamp down on “opinion” news networks like Fox, and conservative leaders have committed endless crimes they should be punished for them. However the average conservative voter is no different than you and I except for the fact they’re massive scared gullible little idiots and that’s not a crime.

The second we start to group people and decide to treat different groups differently then we’re succumbing to conservatism ourselves.

I have long had head canon that Trump basically is only doing stuff to make people riot and he actually had more faith in the left’s willingness to fight back than was warranted. (Taking away abortions, trans rights, right to teach the history of slavery, “DEI”, migrant incarceration camps, deploying the army against citizen) … But like making a bill that kicks everyone off of food stamps and health care JUST BEFORE THE ELECTION… Like… I’m not saying he’s doing it if purpose, what I am saying is if he were trying to start a riot with plausible deniability would he do anything different?

Dude the US is so far past horse meat substitution in beef. It happened 13 years ago in Europe and there was a more minor one in Canada. That was with functioning food inspection agencies, the US has basically stopped food inspections altogether.

That is literally the opposite definition to scalable. Scalable things don’t require twice the resources for twice the capacity.

Buy two instead of one is exactly the worst case scalability you can have.

95% of the world grid storage capacity is pumped storage hydro and batteries will literally never be able to compete because water is the cheapest energy storage medium we could possibly have at grid scale. North America was the world leader on PSH in the 1970-2000 but now China is eating our lunch and our governments no longer have the ability to start real infrastructure projects because of crony capitalism.

I can’t believe we’re watching China become the world leader in renewables while we pretend like batteries are a smart way of storing GWhs of power because that’s the most profitable solution to the private sector.

Grid scale batteries are only a solution for transients, if that. Actual energy storage needs to be scalable like pumped storage hydro which accounts for 95% of all storage capacity worldwide.

You have a lot of down votes but I think there is philosophical merit to your statement.

Biologically “male” and “female” abilities and attributes have a massive overlap and are at worst bimodal distributions. There is no singular meaningful action that only one gender does. So you would naturally think that humans would be equal.

Except… Women give birth to new humans. In modern times we have enough scientific explanations to take some of the magic out of the fact that human life is created inside of women. This act is so philosophically terrifying and traumatic that it creates the “female” category unavoidably in the mind of anyone who even hears of it.

The “male” is something created out of lack. It’s an attempt to create a category by focusing on the differences between two entirely overlapping sets because the “female” is a category. Everything else, like patriarchy as a whole, flows from there.

At the end of the day everyone is just “people” and a bit less than half of us can create new life as a bonus feature. Everything else is a social construct.
