Look, I'm not suggesting we do anything bad to Americans and Europeans. Just let them pay their fair share to those they've driven into poverty. Or do you enjoy the suffering of bi…

Isn't this natural for any "Social" ideologies? They imply a system of centralized redistribution, which implies a powerful repressive apparatus and an omnipresent surveillance sys…

They won't ignore it if Americans and Europeans agree to contribute their fair share to the well-being of all the people and stop hoarding all the world's wealth to themselves. A s…

We have statistics on solar performance at the huge countries levels. And it shows that, in reality, we're talking about 20x overbuild. Not 3x and not even 10x. And there is no way…

In fact, I think this is one of the main reasons that will make the widespread use of nuclear energy possible: once your neighbor have built a reactor, you begin to share with them…

> There just isn't $26T of money to buy this stuff. But there is. Like, it is less then GDP of US only

I think it has something to do with the fact that the first company is better at spreading messages on the Internet than the other at building reactors.

Eh? Like in North Korea?

In fact, it's very easy to reason them to change their minds: 1. Take statistics from any of these excellent solar power plants for, say, five years time span 2. Find the worst wee…

Our ability to do this is more of a fact. But the socialist distribution system completely destroys this ability.

Yes, it's EXACTLY equivalent. If you read the works of the communists who implemented all of this, you'll find literally the same arguments about unjust wealth created by productiv…

This is a well-known affliction of democracy. Logically, it seems insane that people who live on other people's taxes have the right to vote. Officials, public sector employees, an…
