    I want to move away from fossil too but not at the expense of supporting Ptuin which is what this article is suggesting. Are you denying that Putin is a dictator?

      Lol Russia mainly sells the EU fossil fuels, moving away from them would defund Putin. It’s a damn shame our leaders have committed to driving us into a climate death spiral instead. I kind of don’t fucking care if Putin is a dictator or not, all I know is this war never needed to happen and the responsibility lies with US imperialism as much as it does with Putin. Our leaders are also as authoritarian and psychotic, Most western leaders are supporting a genocide right now. Also imagine thinking military Keynesianism is feasible in 2025 when we have already breached the 1.5C target that wasn’t meant to be breached till 2100. Most leaders either have their heads in the fucking sand or are completely fine with creating conditions that will kill billions, as long as their blood sucking buddies can make money off of it.

      Fuck all these people, they’re all as bad as each other. I find people who think Putin is some kind of special evil to be pathetic. He’s the same as all the others and is a product of capitalism which breeds psychos rising to the top.

        My point is that the article of this point starts of suggesting the EU needs to buy more energy from Russia (which would be fossil fuels). It’s both bad for the environment AND supports an evil dictator. And Putin is at the top of the list if evil dictators because of the shit he’s pulling with Ukraine. That doesn’t dismiss others but it does make him the worst.

          Well now you’re just straight up admitting you think that the lives of white people matter more than non-whites.

          Lol you really think Putin is worse than Netanyahu? If you do I can’t take your opinion on anything seriously. I’ve met people from Ukraine (who left while they could) you can still go clubbing in Kyiv if you want. You think you can go to a nightclub in Gaza? If Putin really is this great evil then I’ll say the same thing to you that I said to the asshole nazi I met who was trying to convince some kid it was his duty to die for his country.

          Why don’t you sign up to fight?

      I’m going to be real with you, I think not having the planet cook is more important than sticking it to Putin.
