We can imagine a world running almost entirely on renewable energy. We can imagine such goals, and then, collectively, figure out how to reach them, rather than just resigning ourselves to drift whichever way the torrents of wealthy elite power may take us.
We can imagine a world without leftists and Marxist principles messing it up.
Paul Rosenberg is a California-based writer/activist, senior editor for Random Lengths News, and a columnist for Al Jazeera English. …Never mind someone filled with self-hatred and spite for his own heritage.
Two paragraphs in, I began to smell something very familiar.
So why did I continue to read to the end, only to have my initial reaction reinforced?
Piketty’s work has already been discredited by the Economist. This Salon piece is proof that the left will not let that stop them from citing his book. As for Tyson, I was excited when they announced the new Cosmos but after watching two episodes and seeing how much it has been politicized I quit watching. That’s what passes as reality based for the left. Misinformation and propaganda.
Why do libtards concern themselves with life beyond city limits? They’ve got the votes to pass anything they want where they live. Can’t they go on and legislate their steel and concrete utopias without us? Just because libtards don’t actually generate any electricity, grow any food, or drill for any oil, shouldn’t stop them. Forward!
Warmed over Marxism is hardly 'fresh.'
And if capitalism didn't produce the postwar boom, what did? Luck? Good weather?
Seems to use Tyson to justify Piketty as money and its CONTROL is far more important to the Left that any real hard science / technology advancements.
This article is so absurd that I suspected it was satire. We slipping closer to the idiocracy every day.
The left has invented the granite submarine and expects full credit for solving half of the design challenge
"The Bush administration was infamous for its disdain for the empirical..."
Somehow in the light of our current administration that statement seems almost comical. And the propagandists are still stuck on their "Its Bush's fault" mantra.
Well not exactly.
Change can not be denied. Utopia is not necessarily the absolute end result. We can and do have better lives with change.
In my view Cosmos is very superficial hitting lots of peaks with very little presentation of underlying substance. Of course digestion of that substance requires effort and thought. Since the absence of effort and thought is the reason for the non acceptance, the denial of science if you will, Cosmos leaves them out.
The solution is jeans, boots, a field guide and note book and hours in the field observing. Of course al that requires energy and thought and for most, is inconceivable
Spending to combat global warming is the new motor to power the economy? Yeah, right.
More like a brake.
Soros, and his ilk, want only two classes of humans: them, and not too many of them either, and the serfs, bound to whatever occupation that their betters decree.
I know this guy was a Nazi collaborator, but they sure screwed up by not making better use of his talents.
More leftist vomiting onto the page
“captured the public imagination”??
I bet 98% of America have no idea who they are.
Cosmos wasn’t very good. With all that has been discovered since Sagan’s masterpiece aired Tyson serves a thin gruel of skewed history, pop science and climate alarmism.
