    You don’t need to replace everything, you can replace as necessary and shut down everything else. It absolutely has to do with supremacy over Capital. However, you already gave yourself away:

    I’m not arguing for anything

    You’re just arguing as a personal outlet, that’s not healthy. I can’t tell if you’re a nihilist doomer, or just going through a rough time, but this isn’t healthy.

      As necessary?

      It’s necessary to replace all of them.

      Are you some sort of climate change denier?

      Also, this pop psychoanalysis of yours is tiresome, Dr. Freud.

        It is not necessary to replace all of them, we can downsize consumption. Consumerism is an aspect of Capitalism, we can downsize production and energy consumption off pure renewables, if at significant cost of quality of life.

        Again, though, you clearly are looking for an outlet, you don’t care about logic but simply arguing to argue. I recommend you log out for a while, talk to someone IRL that cares about you. I’m saying this out of concern.

          Again, Dr. Freud, your pop psychology is tiresome.

          And yeah, you’re clearly a climate change denier. Only a climate change denier thinks it’s okay to keep using fossil fuels.

            I literally told you we could stop using fossil fuels and run on pure renewables now at great cost in quality of life, but only under Socialism. You just read right past that to insult me.

            People care about you.

              LOL! “We could make life sucky if we just accept socialism!” Great sales technique you have there.

              And much like your “arguing in bad faith” hypocrisy, your complaining about insults hypocrisy is just as silly.

              Also, I’m fully aware that people care about me. Unlike you, I know what my life is about.

              Gotta love a self-proclaimed socialist who acts like they’re some sort of superior being.

                Better to have reduced quality of life than no life, are you saying you’d prefer the opposite? I don’t see how I have been hypocritical either. Either way, it’s good that you know people care about you, though I don’t know what you mean by claiming I don’t know what my life is about. As for Socialism, I do know more about Marxism than most people, though I don’t think that makes me superior. Rather, we all have things we are good and bad at.

                Do you have someone to talk to? You can DM me if you want to vent about something, or just chat non-confrontationally.

                  I’m sure you know what your life is about.

                  What you don’t know is what my life is about, despite this arrogant superiority bullshit where you act like you know me.

                  Also, why the hell would I DM someone who has been hypocritical twice in this conversation and arrogantly and falsely psychoanalyzed me in the most condescending way possible about anything? So you can be more condescending? So you can get my life more wrong?

                  I know you think you’re the Flying Squid expert around here, but you don’t even know what my fucking pronouns are.

                  Have you ever thought about asking about someone’s life rather than assume you know what’s going on with it? I’m guessing not. Not necessary when you’re better than everyone else and know about them more than they do, am I right?

                    Well, you have been arguing for what appears like argument’s sake, you abandoned positions you previously held, and darted around. You can understand why it looks erratic to someone.

                    I apologize if it seems condescending, but I did mean it when I said you could DM me if you wanted someone to talk to in private. I know you probably don’t care, but I promise here and now I wouldn’t be condescending, if there indeed is something you want to vent about in private. I didn’t ask because I figured you wouldn’t want to disclose that for everyone, but I suppose a stranger is no different.

                    All that being said, the offer is open, you don’t have to take it if you don’t want to. It’s not because I think I am better or anything, it’s because there have been times that has helped me in the past. Up to you.
