It’s difficult to consider them pollution even if we were to accept the subjective opinion on displeasing aesthetics.
The pollution we’re all concerned about tends to be:
Physically harmful
Difficult to confine/localize/avoid/reverse
An externality the economy doesn’t sufficiently account for
A burden that’s unevenly/unfairly distributed across society
Even light pollution, which is arguably barely physically harmful, has all of the remaining qualities (or nearly) for sure.
If these qualities even apply wind generators at all, they do so very weakly. They can be moved/unbuilt, the “free market” is pricing them cheaper by the day, and if you really don’t like looking at them, it’s not impractical to avoid them.
We’re spread pretty uniformly throughout the Lemmyverse. There are active anarchist communities (all /c/anarchism on their respective instances) on lemmy.dbzer0.com, slrpnk.net, lemmy.ml, and hexbear.net.
I wouldn’t tell them anything. Any changes they made to how I was raised would fundamentally change who and where I am now. While growing up was torture in many ways, it led me here, and I’m really happy with where I am now.
I bought some stuff from Ali express. Mixed results. Bought a video adapter for my wife’s car so an aftermarket radio could use the factory backup cam. Worked great. Bought a ‘billet’ camshaft for a Suzuki. Was obvious it was cast, because they didn’t bother to align the two halves together they were off 1/8". Left a bad review about it, they deleted the entire part listing, then re-posted it to hide my review, then blocked me as a customer.
Support from AliExpress is quite good. They don’t take any bullshit from their sellers and often refund at least a partial amount of your purchase.
I think I got 30% back once because the wrong color was delivered.
The biggest issue is that they tend to fake delivery time by switching around old tracking numbers. If you want something quick, I really wouldn’t recommend it.
Yeah, I’ve ordered from Ali a couple times for various smart home gadgets, and I got a refund on some zigbee lights because they didn’t light/change properly. All I had to do was show them a photo of the couple red lights that came in my set and I got the whole pack refunded and got to keep the lights.
