(She's okay. You have to understand that after spending like a couple decades of my life studying this nazi shit, I've come to the conclusion that we are where we are, on a burning rock, surrounded by homicidal nazis, in societies wholly owned and controlled by hyper-reactionary billionaire cultists is b/c "capitalism." And there is no way out that involves "us regular people all survive" and "keep doing capitalism." So there's only so much common ground I can find with libs. Even smart ones.)

(I'm prepared to listen to anyone who hates Nazis even a tenth as much as I do. But having watched a bunch of her content, it's just kinda hard to wait around for her to figure out there is no nicer better capitalism that won't still produce all the same problems the "crony" or "runaway" capitalism she's roasting now is doing. I feel like she'll get there - but if history holds, the libs will stop talking about her immediately afterwards. So it won't be soon. I don't think.)

Also, after the past I dunno, when did 9/11 happen - every waking moment since then, in our society; I am a little jaded, a little cynical, and a little paranoid.
And part of me watches this woman who has mastered the passion, anger, and antifascist jargon of the left still exemplify so much of the reactionary liberal strain, and thinks "you know, if I were a DNC maggot that didn't want to change anything except our campaign style, I might pay someone to do a podcast like this on the sly..."

Does that MEAN anything? Absolutely not. This is me telling you directly that I have no evidence she's double dealing. But I also don't know that she isn't. And I know that if liberals ever want to win an election again they better start talking like her, Bernie Sanders, and Mamdani. And I have very little belief that this capitalist liberal establishment would want to do anything beyond talk, in that regard.
It's good that liberals are mad about nazis, but it ain't mean they're socialists.

And well, if you don't understand why that's increasingly becoming a breaking point with me - scroll back to the top of this thread.
The planet is on fire. Either fossil fuels go or a habitat that can support 8B+ people does. The rich people have made their choice, that's why they're paying to elect fascists and the govts they own are hardening borders, increasing security forces and curtailing civil rights. The very real capitalism we have now, cannot survive the death of oil. It's us, or them

Also, as a side note:
If you think there's a different capitalism, not based on oil, waiting out there for some genius to figure out and save this way of life, it's because you don't understand how a financialized economy works.

The fact is, we've "booked" more than enough fossil fuels to burn the planet to ash multiple times over. These reserves aren't even out of the ground yet, but they are transformed into a financial asset - an asset that is treated as good as if they'd actually sold the oil/gas/whatever already. This asset is then speculated on, borrowed against, traded, and utterly intertwined with the entire economy.

If tomorrow you said no more oil, all that booked oil becomes worthless, and everything pinned on it implodes. Most of the richest people in the world would be infinitely less wealthy and powerful, overnight.
Do you think they will ever willingly do that? So we can switch to your "not oil" version of capitalism? Willingly? No right? Now let me remind you:
They own everything, they are buying whole governments and their armies, they are installing fascists and building police states
Guess why?

So no, there is no other capitalism besides fossil fuel capitalism because the capitalists themselves will die before they allow that to happen.
Which btw? Might not be such a bad idea, given that even if they fail (and they will fail) it will likely kill billions.

PS btw - if you ever sat around asking yourself why fascists and other assorted reactionaries are so committed to climate science denial, this is the deeper layer beyond "well money, duh" that answers that question.
You see, it's not just enough that they force society to continue to burn fossil fuels. For those reserve-based assets to maintain value, the market/investors must assume that we WILL DEFINITELY burn all that oil at some later point.

Almost a third of 2026 Oscar-nominated films acknowledge climate change
To pass the ‘climate reality check,’ a movie must depict climate change in some way, and a character in the story must recognize it

Just played the arcade version of Exerion.
This game was ahead of its time. Released in 1983, it was doing parallax backgrounds which gave it a 3D effect. And this makes a big difference for a game that’s pretty much like Space Invaders and Galaga.
Which is why home conversions fared poorly. You do not want to play the Famicom or MSX versions of Exerion because they fare very poorly.

Ford, Take Note: Classic Pickup Becomes the EV We Want
Ford does sell an electric pickup, but not very many of them. We can’t say for sure, but it’s possible that if the F150 Lightning had the classic cool of [ScottenMotors] 1977 F150 SuperCab conversion they’d have better numbers.
The battery box sits where a V8 used to choke on well-meaning emissions controls.
On Reddit, [Scotten] shares the takeaways from his conversion effort, which involved a custom Tesla-cell battery pack and a new rear axle assembly to house the Tesla SDU (Small Drive Unit). A Large Drive Unit (LDU) would probably fit, but the SDU already puts out 264 HP, which compares rather favourably to the 156 HP this truck’s malaise-era V8 put out stock. The old F-bodies were great trucks in a lot of respects, but even an die-hard ICE enthusiast is probably not going to be sad to see that motor go.Choosing to put the integrated drive unit in the rear axle complicates the build compared to other conversions that re-use the
Before the bed goes on, you can see the new rear axle with the Tesla SPU. There might be room for another, smaller battery under there.
stock transmission and differential, but saves you all the losses associated with that frankly unnecessary powertrain hardware. The takeaway there is to figure out all the mechanical work on the chassis, because the EV stuff is actually the easy part. [Scotten] had the wheels turning a full year before he got the brakes figured out, because even if they’re just the rears and even if there’s regen– you want all the breaks to work on your test drive.With the 100kW power pack, he’s getting about 220 miles of range. From the pictures, it looks like he’s filled up most of the hood space with that battery, but we can’t help but wonder if there’s room under the bed where the gas tank(s) lived to squeeze in more cells for those of us who need to go further.
Sadly the design isn’t open source, but [ScottenMotors] is apparently doing conversions on commission and open to selling kits; you can check that out on their website. In that, he’s following in the series-hybrid footsteps of Edison Motors.
While we respect the hustle to design an all-new rear end in this hack, you don’t even have to pull the internal combustion engine if you want to play on easy mode. You don’t need to be a nanoscience professor like [ScottenMotors] to pull off an electric truck, for the record– [Mr.G]’s high school class did a great job on a kei truck.
Thanks to [JohnU] for the tip!
