U.S. and the rest of the West can do without oil because of photons and stuff.

That's kidding, of course.

There was some comparison done a while ago between energy consumption and efficiency improvements and the discovery was that efficiency improvements created more energy demand.

Subsequently, Green New Deal style policies will inhibit industrial/economic growth in the West.

Even if we supplement with enough alternative energy to avoid outright energy rationing, it still means being outcompeted and overtaken by countries and power blocs that don't shy away from using as much energy as they can.

Really good article https://www.dailyveracity.com/2022/...to-know-what-types-of-books-the-nazis-burned/

Kind of a misleading title. They could have simply said "books by Jews" and it would've been a lot more concise, as the article seems to be mostly about Jewish people.

The article also plays fast and loose with a number of facts. Felix Dzerzhinsky, for example, was not Jewish. He also imo overstates the influence of the Frankfurt School (as many on the right do)...but their level of influence is debatable I suppose.

It's carefully worded but ultimately about how Jews were into drag shows (Hischfield), abortions (Sanger & allies), subverting western values (Frankfurt School) and perpetrating a genocide against Ukrainians which coincidentally killed 1 million more people than the commonly cited figure of Jews who died during the Holocaust (Jews in the Soviet Union). There are a number of genuine points and facts presented though too, like how social discrimination under the Romanov period may have driven Jews as a persecuted minority group into the ranks of the Bolsheviks, who promised to overhaul the system.

Magnus Hirschfield was kind of an interesting guy. I read one of his books ("Women East and West") and found it to be a pretty interesting historical document...he was kind of prophetic in some of his predictions, like anti-colonial and national liberation wars in the "Third World" after World War Two (WEAW was published in the early 1930s). He also was quite critical of circumcision (especially female but also male) and made a few noteworthy comments on use of narcotics during the time period he lived in.

Very tragic :(

I do find it sad how many conservatives are claiming conspiracies like these are coordinated attacks or some shit and refusing to admit its the direct result of deregulation and capitalist greed ie., CEOs flouting safety measures due to financial costs while not caring about human cost as well as union busting thus not giving workers vacations/allowing them to rest, which is another safety concern.

Meanwhile the ruling class keeps us distracted with fucking balloons and UFOs being shot down.
