BF has a long way to go in some respects of its social development but watching them build up their productive forces and take control of their destiny has been truly inspiring


This was always the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever heard of in my life and I’m still surprised they made it as far as they did into the construction. Just goes to show that if you show a whole bunch of relatively ‘qualified’ engineers/architects/scientists a pile of infinite money they will go along with whatever you say as long as you pay them.


“Thanks to this capacity—and a tendency to set itself easy targets—China has exceeded, or is on course to exceed, most of the pledges it has made under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change since signing the Paris agreement ten years ago. The politicians, negotiators, lobby groups and hangers-on gathering in Brazil for the 30th UNFCCC’s COP summit will do so in a context shaped by China’s latest pledges to more than double the country’s renewable-energy capacity and make a modest but quantified cut in emissions by 2035. (Both targets may well be exceeded.)”
This paragraph is so fucking funny
Edit: holy shit it gets funnier: " This anti-emissions machine is powered by self-interest. More clean tech elsewhere lowers China’s own climate risks by reducing global emissions."


holy shit i didn’t think i could hate Bernie any more


Or have a society structured such that most people’s basic needs are met which drastically reduces impulse crime
