this is a concept i've been trying to put into concrete terms for myself and you just, like, fuckin nailed it right down. thank you so much.

sodium. gravity. carbon capacitors. lead acid. molten salt. air pressure. flywheel.

there's alllll kinds of battery storage solutions, and for grid storage just about anything other than lithium can be used because lithium is really only useful for power density applications where weight and size of the battery matters like cars and planes.

nuclear fission is dead. fusion is the only nuclear worth talking about and that's still years, probably decades away from being actually useful.

so then: solar, wind, wave, hydro, geothermal, and all kinds of batteries is what we have now and can do cheaply and do everywhere and do it now.

the thing is they aren't and won't claim it for themselves. claiming to being the normal/majority/default is super important to them and weird is the antithesis of that. we can claim weirdness for ourselves like we have for ages without anyone mistaking us as right wingers because of this. good weird vs bad weird has always been a thing, too.

at least, that's my two cents on the matter. they may end up trying to claim it and take the wind out of it but i doubt it.

enforcing a 'don't talk about voting ever, only encourage not voting' anarchist community is sus af. not voting isn't gonna make the govt disappear. not voting is just laying down and saying 'do with me what you will'. not voting, especially from anarchists, inevitably gives more weight to explicitly fascist votes. i'd like a world without goverment as well, but we aren't gonna get there not voting nor by banning people from anarchist spaces who advocate for slowing the rise of more violent fascism. material conditions, bud.

yup, and both bluesky and threads will be/are exactly as bad, too.

being a free software advocate and worried about 'fracturing' seems at odds, bud. fracturing is an inherent perk of the system, imho.

cryptofascist. nothing to do with cryptocurrency they just share the same prefix, in the case of cryptofascist it means obfuscated, hidden. jimmy dore is a fascist pretending to be a leftist in order to sow leftist division and fud. that's why he only attacks left and simps for authoritarians states. like a tankie but no earnest leftist beliefs at all.
