    And yet, Biden’s administration approved more permits for oil and gas drilling in it’s first two years than Trump’s admin. Not to mention Biden has been supporting the Mountain Valley pipeline construction. Meanwhile oil companies reported record profits for 2022 and last month was the hottest July in recorded history.

    Capitalism and the libs that uphold it are completely and utterly incapable of addressing climate change.

    a mistrust of MSM

    If even in the face of mainstream media’s recent but rapid decline you still implicitly trust it, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

    they both really enjoy ‘trolling the libs’

    The libs kind of deserve to be trolled. Do you really think the Dems have our best interests at heart? Look no further than the Dem’s action on climate change. We need drastic and swift changes enacted. I don’t know if one could even make the argument that they’ve made marginal progress. But any lib could give me a laundry list of reasons why it can’t be done and how I should just accept the extinction of the human race. Sorry, but I refuse to do so.

    stringing up a part of the population would solve their problems

    See the paradox of intolerance.




  • Are you sure it’s legit? From a quick look at the official GitHub repo’s README, I saw no mention of a native Android app (however I did see mention of the iOS app).

    EDIT: dug a little deeper and saw mention of the Android app in the latest release notes (beta coming soon to the play store) as well as an empty Android studio project folder in the source. Maybe the actual code is somewhere on a different branch, but even so, I would be hesitant to install random APKs not coming from the developer themself.



  • Yup, my understanding is there is a lot of oil in Ukraine (I think donbas specifically but don’t quote me on that). And arguably more importantly, a major pipeline runs through Ukraine. My understanding is the EU is currently very reliant on Russian oil and they would very much like to not be. Hence, why Ukrainian membership to NATO is so attractive.

    I think a lot of people in the West dismiss Putin as a nutjob, but I think there is a rational reason for controlling Ukraine. Oil is Russia’s largest export after all.

    All of that isn’t meant to excuse Russia; it’s unethical to murder for oil. But it’s intellectually lazy to dismiss a rational actor (albeit an unethical actor) as crazy. But capitalism gonna capitalism. And until we put an end to capitalism, people are going to continue to murder for money.
