degrowth arguments suddenly become a lot less sensible when you take away their foundations, ie climate catastrophe and the rurals being left behind and exploited
considering how dangerous the ideology is, imo this alone makes nuclear worthwhile
but there's so much more
nuclear power is our path to the next stage of technological evolution; ubiquitous cheap power, with drastically lower emissions, will enable us to electrify even those in the most remote locales, as transfer losses will be less significant
and with this comes public buy-in
even if you manage to convince them of the safety factor, you typically then get pushback about how it's practically impossible to do this for economic reasons, without a govt subsidy
well, evidence-based deregulation is a form of govt subsidy, as it lowers the activation energy
those who push for radical action to green the world would have to advocate for nuclear for any hope of reducing emissions quickly enough
however, most of them don't do this, bc its not actually about practical solutions, but rather an anti-capitalist Malthusian degrowth cult
motivated by this reply
the startup capital required to build a new reactor is disproportionately high compared to the actual risks of the possible failure modes
if we take the climate catastrophe claims as a given, nuclear is the best possible solution

im a nuclear power deregulation guy now. thats my new thing. pls respect my guy type from now on, thank u
h/t to robot here; it's an important question. without a specific target state, how can collective action be meaningful? if all you have is reaction then you are, inherently, reactionary. you're not working towards something, but away from something else.

they don't mean this intentionally, but functionally they do; the problem arises when an ideology defines itself in opposition to the status quo, w/o a concrete set of goals; what is the woke eschatology? how do they know when they're done? a power vacuum is unable and collapses.

Abolish the police is really code for instituting private police forces funded by woke capital to do the left's bidding

this rant, coming from a person with this presentation, is uplifted into an effigy of sorts, a caricature of The Enemy, the tribe on the other side of the culture way; and while there are indeed many who think this way... this is a child's tantrum; should we really care about it?
I don't really disagree with her in the abstract, & let's be real, she's a child, reacting to microaggressions in the ways a child does; demanding that the world revolve around her and accommodate her preferences
she'll likely grow out of it
but that's not how this is perceived
ofc, a person's worst moments are... rather unflattering, & when they already seem to represent a class of people that generate much resentment, is it any wonder that this sort of rant, which in theory should be no more than a diary entry, is used to confirm preconceived notions?
I don't think we appreciate how truly weird this is, compared to pretty much the entirety of history up till now; an audience like this has typically been the privilege of the powerful, using it in mostly calculated ways
this, however, broadcasts your worst moments to everyone
the internet in general, and social media in particular, creates a rather unprecedented situation; the place where you go to vent your private frustrations, the things you get fed up with slowly over many days, the place is a megaphone directed at potentially. millions of people

what are your favorites?
a brilliant gem, which didnt get the attention (or continuation) it deserved. one of the most distinctive art styles, punchy characters, & fantastic fight animation. also the single most annoying character in all of anime.

even more of a classic than Naruto, the prototypical anime in the west. fun, engaging, realistic power scaling, with a highly varied cast of characters; while the protag is the (mostly) invincible focus, he doesnt dominate

highly underrated! came out of nowhere, very unique with tons of style and personality. relatively short and frenetic heist arcs, lovable characters, great soundtrack and nonstop ridiculous action.

a classic of the more ponderous and melancholy genre of action anime; a distinctly dated artistic style, engaging characters and funky soundtrack, serious themes punctuated by intense action and comedic interludes.

currently watching; highly mediocre but with an engaging premise. way too much needless fanservice and unrealistic character development. fun enemies and fights, powerups, a pretty typical isekai. it's alright.
