We're in a #SocietalCollapse as the Full Stop & Endgame of #Capitalism's Growth has begun! We need Calls & Movements for a "Great Transition" from this broken #Dystopia where we have a #ClimateCrisis, #HousingCrisis, #Pandemic, #EvictionCrisis, #HealthcareCrisis,...
#BiodiversityCrisis, etc.
As the system focuses on #Economic Growth, #Corporate Interest & Businesses First while exploiting the #Labor who are treated like hell & not paid a #LivingWage nor anything while everything to basically live is practically an Expense under #Capitalism.

From the very beginning, capitalism has always been drenched in exploitation, oppression, suffering, and death.

"The all-encompassing pervasiveness of capitalist propaganda, and the relentless dissemination of it across every conceivable media and institutional outlet, still leaves most people with a wistful idealization of some earlier, innocent capitalism"

"not yet befouled by anti-social behavior and violence or by greed."
"Such an innocent capitalism has never existed, and couldn’t."
"Horrific, state-directed violence in massive doses enabled capitalism to slowly establish itself,"

SPECIAL ANALYSIS: This #coronavirus pandemic has laid bare the exclusion of whole subsets of the most vulnerable in our society, exemplifying the toxic mix of racism, sexism, imperialism, and capitalism that the #USA blends so well.

A thread about the English Establishment, state psychopathy, #COVID19… and why it really matters how people in power think. 🧐✊🇪🇺🇻🇳#history #ToriesOut #resist 🦠
The popular idea of a colonial official during the British Empire days was of a paternal figure dispensing justice and spreading civilisation, as in the 1935 film “Sanders of the River” (see pic), a grossly patronising tale set in colonial #Nigeria... 😬🇳🇬 #BritishEmpire #Korda
The reality was, of course, very different. Consider the work of Charles Callwell, a British soldier with much colonial experience, pictured here on the WWI Caucasus Front as a Major-General in 1916. #Callwell #SmallWars #ColonialViolence 🇹🇷🇷🇺
Bumblebees:
1. world's most important pollinator
2. currently disappearing at rates “consistent with a mass extinction” 3. set to be wiped out in decades
4. climate crisis largely to blame
5. pesticides wiping out populations
6. grave risk to ability of humans to feed themselves

Remember:
1. Antarctica is melting now
2. The Amazon tipping point is here
3. Corals are being killed now
4. Arctic feedback chaos is here
5. Insect extinction is now
6. Pollinator annihilation is here
7. Fertile soil is vanishing now
with staggering consequences for humanity.

The collapse of Antarctic ice is now irrefuckingversible.

The collapse of the Amazon Rainforest is looking pretty irrefuckingversible as well.

AUFRUF
Pappelapapp braucht euch.
Die Frist von HPA und Bullen, das Baumhaus im Vollhöfner Wald abzubauen, endet am Mittwoch dem 23.10. um 12:00 Uhr mittags. Dass wir dem nicht nachkommen werden, versteht sich von selbst.

Deshalb braucht es euch. Je mehr Menschen im Wald sind, desto komplizierter wird die Räumung. Auch Aktionen, die die Polizei an einen anderen Orten bindet, können eine Räumung erschweren.

Kommt Mittwoch so früh wie möglich in den Vollhöfner Wald, da damit zu rechen ist, dass die Polizei versuchen wird, die Zugänge dicht zu machen. Am besten schnappt ihr euch eure Schlafsachen und kommt schon am Dienstag.

1. HPA mächtiger als der Senat
Selbst in der parteipolitischen Landschaft gibt es eine eindeutige Mehrheit, dass der Vollhöfner Wald bleiben soll*1. Trotzdem gibt es vorerst nur ein Moratorium bis Februar 2020, in dem nicht gerodet werden soll.

Warum kann sich die Politik nicht gegenüber der HPA durchsetzen und jetzt eine langfristige Lösung und Absicherung für den Erhalt des Vollhöffner Waldes durchsetzen? Die HPA schiebt eine Entscheidung bis zu den nächsten Wahlen im Februar weiter auf:

I just had this thought “OMG I haven’t published anything in so long! I’m a mess.”
Follow up thought: “I published a book a year ago. I’ve been promoting it ever since & working on the next one & publishing public writing. That thought is capitalism speaking, not me.”

I have to actively work to unlearn the hyper-productivity I once valued more than my own happiness or health. I have to actively resist the pressure to outpace academic #capitalism. I have to critique the system, not myself.

Addendum: Unless, of course, I am perpetuating oppressive systems & doing harm. Then, I need to critique & examine myself. But most of the time, it’s the system. 🙃
