Labour aren’t spineless—they’re complicit. Outside of that very small window where Jezza was “in charge” (read: the donors fucked up, and fixed it shortly thereafter), Labour in our living memory has never been anything but Dollar Store Democrats with smart boy accents.
And always remember! Be bold! Be brave! Sorry, but as a large language model I am unable to assess ethical questions of that nature! And always follow your dreams!
Inspired by a post since deleted, I feel bad for probably coming off judgemental about the poster’s taste in the movie that drove him to consider sailing....
Canadian Greens are the absolute most insufferable kind of libs. Their solutions for climate change are basically to replace fossil fuels with [Future Technology 18] like they’re playing Civilization 2 with cheats turned on.
I don’t know about everybody else, but I’m judging it based on the author being a Canadian turbolib who’s still really scared of getting nuked by the USSR.
Of course it’s not the solution. Much like geothermal isn’t the solution, or wind isn’t the solution. They’re all tools we need to be using, right the hell now.
And the decades long startup time for reactors is solely a mater of political will. There’s no reason we can’t have modern nuclear power plants up and running in the span of a couple years, rather than decades. These aren’t the rinky-dink 1960’s reactors that melt down if the operator is an arrogant capitalist asshole. Modern designs take that choice out of human hands—if things go sideways, they self-terminate.
A worker checked a display with the Mandarin words for ‘independence’ at a booth for Chinese supercomputer manufacturer Sugon at a Shanghai conference last year.

Nate is just coping about being so devastatingly wrong about his “96% chance of victory!” prediction.
Besides, it shouldn’t have been that close to begin with. The 2016 election should have been a wham bam slam jam thank you ma’am landslide win for the Democrats, on the scale of Reagan v. Mondale. The fact that it wasn’t should concern you about the party’s competence and/or goals.
We’re making Soviet rockets illegal going forward! Going to the moon would be hard, so we’re making it easy! We will not be taking any questions—God bless America!!
