Plantation Disaster Capitalism: Native Hawaiians Organize to Stop Land & Water Grabs After Maui Fire
  • If this doesn't start an indigenous Hawaiian-led revolution, I don't know what will

  • With HR 3557, Broadband Monopolies Are Pushing A Bill That Would Crush Your Town’s Ability To Stand Up To Them
  • I'm just happy there are two options where I live. It used to be Comcast (200/5) or DSL (25/1) but the DSL company has been laying fiber for the past few years and finally got to my neighborhood. For the first time in my life I have >5mbps upload and can run shit like OwnCloud. I feel for everyone stuck with monopolies or duopolies where one company is objectively worse.

  • Federation has just solidified the fact that there is no saving the West
  • The end of history is actually about how the lumpen have no memory of any political events that are no longer being blasted 24/7 on the news. History may as well not exist for 90% of Americans because history is in books.

  • It's okay, I still love you left-unity-4

  • HERETIC! It was a minivan!

  • Whats the whitest thing you've heard about or seen?
  • I think this is more pan-ethnic carbrain shit than anything

  • The hate for rural/suburban areas is really bordering on malthusianism with the assumption that relocation to cities is the only option.
  • I just think there should be a much quicker transition between urban and rural. Endless sprawl is unsustainable and development can't keep converting farmland to housing forever. A dense city surrounded by a mix of farms and natural spaces without sprawling suburbs makes a lot of sense from an ecological standpoint.

  • I'm just being flippant but the whole "just give up on North America" thing is only really possible for those sorts of people. There are hundreds of millions that are essentially trapped here forever.

  • Well even before that you need a sponsored work visa and good luck getting one unless you're in finance or tech with 5+ years of experience. Only other option is teach English and hope you make enough connections to get a work visa after the contract is up. I really want to get out of here but I work manual labor and dropped out of university due to depression/anxiety/other undiagnosed mental illness so I only have an associate's degree. I though about joining the French Foreign Legion as a last resort but I'm anti-imperialist to the core so I would probably end up fragging an officer.

    I also could possibly get citizenship in a European country through grandparents or great-grandparents but there's like no family tree so I have no idea if I would qualify. I would need to hire someone to go through records to figure it out.
