#MAGA : “We hate identity politics and identity ideology.”
Also MAGA : “The gulf of America has had to live a lie all their life. How dare you dead name them and use their wrong pronouns!”

The problem with elections is that they ask an individual to vote on how society should be governed and, under capitalism, what’s best for society and best for the voting individual never match.
#Trump #Election2024
Trump's election is proof that we are utterly trapped in capitalism and the division, inequality, exploitation, lies, greed, corruption and crime it inevitably delivers.
There is no way out.
We are in the end game.
That's why the billionaires are building bunkers.

It's long been a question: could all of humanity actually live within the Doughnut? Thanks to Hauke Schlesier et al it's just been quantified for the 1st time. And the answer is probably yes - if we transform to economies of sufficiency. Read more here: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

A gentle reminder: The bad things in your life that are not caused by collapse are in fact caused by collapse.

“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” scoop.me/housing-first-finla…

Let this sink in: not ONE single waterway in England is in good overall health.
The govt's solution: reinvest £11m from water company fines to improve the waters.
The SLIGHT catch: we need 4,000 TIMES MORE to stop just the EXCESSIVE pollution in ECOLOGICALLY SENSITIVE areas 🤡

People need a community in order to change.
This is how we help and learn from each other.

Food shortages are the most likely cause of imminent societal unrest &, ultimately, collapse.
Unless we prise our food system from the hands of capitalist corporations, change what we eat, how we produce it & how we distribute it, things could start to topple very, very quickly.

Most of the mainstream media isn’t actually journalism.
It’s capitalist propaganda.

A gentle reminder: A single doomer cares more about the collapsing biosphere than all of the normies combined.

Humankind is heading for indescribable suffering if we continue to put carbon emissions into the atmosphere.
Thousands of people need to create mass economic disruption and go to prison in order to force governments to protect their people and enact legislation that will rapidly reduce carbon emissions.

Radical right-wing charities on Tufton Street, like the Global Warming Policy Foundation, are constantly spreading harmful climate change disinformation & denial. What does the Charity Commission do to stop them? Nothing. So we're taking them to court 👇 theguardian.com/environment/…

This is so fucked up. The stats are wrong. Surprise, surprise. 30% of greenhouse emissions are not covered in the global reporting. So no wonder the temperatures are going up "more than they should".
The incentive to cover up reality will become even more structural as the embarrassment at the total failure of the global carbon regime becomes ever more apparent - when the fact it has failed to stop civilisational suicide becomes agonisingly undeniable.
Really, there is absolutely ZERO point in trying to change this system - to work in this system - to engage with this system. It is TOTALLY FUCKED.
Get out, and do the things that are going to give you just a little self respect during your remaining years in this mad, mad world - work to create the regime which we will need to replace this one when it inevitably collapses.
Everyone is thinking about it. Do it.
