That makes sense. I didn't attempt to decipher what sw meant because it didn't seem relevant to the story.

Is this supposed to imply prostitution?

Drugs being more expensive (initially) is definitely something that stops young people (who are usually poor) from getting regular access to them. It's probably one of the most effective ways to reduce drug usage.

I'm not sure whether this comment is supposed to speak of Kagi in a positive or negative way.

I do not believe the majority of people don't know about the effects of climate change. I believe that the majority of people voting against climate friendly policies simply choose to not think long term.

Someone who votes to continue the status quo is to be blamed for the status quo.

You can limit capitalism without abolishing it.

In Germany people are guaranteed 20/24 paid vacation days. That's not profitable.

That's a limit imposed on capitalism. It can be done and has been done without abolishing capitalism.

That's just one of the thousands of policies that limit capitalism.

You can limit capitalism (as literally every capitalist nation does) without abolishing it.

Enforcing climate friendlyness would be just another limit.

Your first link is US only, your second link is about a completely seperate issue. You don't need to dismantle capitalism to protect the climate.

In Germany, where I live, the voters could easily vote for the greens "Grüne" and the left "Linke".

If those two parties had a majority in government, we'd have a climate friendly system in no time.

But they don't. We had a conservative government for 16 years. Now we have a center government, which sadly includes the small government / free market party "FDP", blocking all significant progress.

No systemic oppression stops people from voting Left/Greens. But they never did, and never will.

There's now an uprise of the far right party "AfD" in Germany, to the point it's becoming one of the major parties.

In Germany people have the choice readily available to stop actively damaging the climate.

But every couple of years, they freely choose to not do that.

I feel like many left-wing people regularly forget about the billions of people who genuinely do not care to do anything about climate change.

These people aren't "you".

I could make a similar statement:

Child? You're literally being abused and raped by your parents on a regular basis.

This statement is true for a lot more children than the prior statement is for black people.

It's still a stupid statement.

No, being a child doesn't mean you'll be abused and being black doesn't mean you'll be attacked.

Perhaps liberals would be less likely to show off firearms, much less teach how to use them, to a four years old.

Did you miss the part where it described the actual abuse? Like, you don't need to do much guessing to find out they were being abused.
