Lmao there was no hopping whatsoever, what the fuck are you talking about?

That comment was highly focused and directly addressed yours. You just don’t know shit lol

Yeah I’ve seen a doctor like 3 times in my adult life maybe.

The cynical turn of phrase people do is infuriating too

“Healthcare plz”

“Okay we’ll guarantee you have health insurance” [now force everyone to pay the companies that are partially responsible for fucking everything]

I don’t want health insurance I want health care

I mean I’ve used a solar panel to block a window before.

But it’s more practical to get cheap blinds and throw a regular solar panel on a roof. There’s significantly more roof square footage than window square footage, and it’s gonna get like ten times as much sun as vertical windows.

Normal panels are like $0.50/watt and will last forever. Folders are closer to $1/watt, less effective, and break down after a couple years. If you want like a set of thin solar strips in a blind form factor, that adds a lot of electrical complexity, so I imagine it increases the cost and lowers the lifespan further.

Depending on the type of panel, if any of it is blocked the whole panel will have severely reduced efficiency. Idk all the details regarding that. But if that’s the case each window might have to be custom sized/wired.

The batteries should 100% be universal and interchangeable (to whatever degree is practical). The whole ecosystem nonsense can get fucked.

But as a form factor cordless is inherently superior for a lot of tools. I’m not gonna haul an extension cord onto a roof or whatnot.

Liberal/bourgeois democracy evolved as such because it’s effective at providing a buffer between the ruling and working classes, thus preserving class structure through inevitable boom/bust cycles.

There’s nothing truly democratic about it, since it functions to stifle and diffuse the will of working people, rather than manifest it.

If education is not liberatory, the dream of the oppressed is to become the oppressor

Money being necessary is incidental to how our society is structured. There’s a lot of ways society can and has functioned without a universal equivalent, regardless of the state of abundance.

Similarly, interest not being evil is actually fairly new and unique to modern society. It’s pretty common historically and in different cultural contexts for interest-free debt to be a norm.

Which suggests these norms are likely specific to capitalism and its ideology rather than universal common sense.

Graeber’s Debt and The Dawn of Everything are anthropological works relevant to this topic that you might find interesting.

Add to that the conflation of health insurance with health care. The former is, at best, a means for the latter. Although the reality is it’s more an obstacle or corruption of it.
