We made it this way because you're stupid. Also, if you don't like it, you're stupid.

No wonder it turned out to be a pile of dogshit.

I'm not playing defense for anyone. I'm recognizing that deconstructing the corporate money-making machine will take longer than we have to fix the more immediate problem of killing off our biosphere, so working with the system, broken as it is, may be the only way forward.

I'm not debating the finer points of morality; just the reality of the situation.

Like that's ever stopped us from doing things for profit?

Honestly, that's what's holding us back. Make climate repair profitable, and the climate will be fixed inside of a decade.

I mean, that would be a lot of iron....

Believe it or not, it's a laudable goal. Cow feces is responsible for about 40% (yes, really) of methane production worldwide, and methane is several times more impactful as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. I called bullshit (heh) the first time I heard these stats, too, but they're real.

Most of the legitimate "block sunlight" proposals involve cloud seeding or spreading long-lasting particulates high in the upper atmosphere. The goal of these projects is to reflect 1-2% of sunlight, which would significantly cool the climate, but plants would hardly notice. In fact, organisms like reef systems would greatly appreciate it, as they're dying off at an extraordinary rate.

The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles....

Considering how easy it is to set up a screen reader or to set an overriding font on most browsers, this seems like an exercise in futility. That said, something like mssystem ought to do it -- standardized, block-style typeface, with little to differentiate the individual letters.

Most religions share the same problems. Sure, they each have their own hangups, but much of what people bitch about with Xtianity is common in other world religions.

Ah, we finally got to the point of "anyone who disagrees with me is a troll." Took longer than I thought. This thread is becoming a great way to populate my blocklist.

At this point, I'm just amused that you went on a screed about downvotes after doing it yourself -- that it bugs you this much when it accomplishes nothing is kinda funny. Downvotes don't impact your account in any way; it's just there for looks.
