Then what is necessary violence? When does the rhetoric of an candidate of a major party come to the point when you can call it fascist?

Calling a politician who

• Fetishes an imagined great past.
• Claims immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country"
• Get policy advice from individuals who call themselves christian nationalists and Neo-reactionaires.
• And has admitted to becoming a dictator on day 1 of his presidency.

a fucking fascist isn't being too extreme. Its calling a spade a spade and a duck a duck.

Why not? A Fascist getting elected president of the most powerful military force on the planet seems like a reasonable time to start rioting.

I mean the rate of inflation is cooling, however the prices of basic goods are still high.

Good, now get me off this planet.

Not how economics work.

Agreed geoengineering is bad science/engineering IMO. You can't know what the long term effects would be until after its been deployed. The safest bet would be to just ditch fossil fuels but that's not as sexy.

An economic system that is predicated on perpetual growth and resource extraction will eventually collapse as there is no more growth or resources to extract. Everyone is tapped out and there is nothing more you can squeeze. So it's not surprising that the people on the lower end of the economic pole are taking what they need to survive, if the economy can't provide for your basic needs then fuck the economy.

Who said Gov is an inefficiency engine? That sounds more like neo-liberal dogma then actual peer reviewed work.

Then perhaps reforming the commons? Agricultural land & surplus are owned in common by the people who live in the area. Government pays for the production of those food stuffs and only gets a nominal % tax on the surplus.

The land barons of CA are no joke. They are a problem that we are going to have to deal with one way or another.

I agree the money is going to come from the monetary supply and government acting as buyer and distributor of goods would be incredibly problematic. A subsidy of some kind for domestic production + placing a max profit markup IMO would be a more effective method.

There is not much anyone can do TBH. Too much of the social/political/monetary systems we currently live in have exponential growth baked into their values. It's incredibly hard to turn that around. Now there is work being done on building a different economic system but its anyone's guess if the current system will bend itself into that direction or it just breaks and the new system fills the void. But either way capitalism is dying and there is no hope of saving it.
