I can see people in this thread at varying degrees of comprehension.
You sense something is wrong, people are acting strange, but you’re leery of conspiracy theories.
@_Norwegian_Blue@mpdmaggs@BarbLarochelle@sshistorygal You don’t quite buy that there is a consortium of international organized criminal cabals working to undermine world order and eliminate democracy. It sounds like a B grade James Bond movie.
The common denominator between all these actors is their wealth. They are all part of the 1%. In fact they are part of the 10% of the 1%. They are some of the richest people.
The wealthiest people on earth are the creators of this problem. It’s what made them wealthy in the first place.
They don’t have a death wish.
@_Norwegian_Blue@mpdmaggs@BarbLarochelle@sshistorygal What they have is all the power wealth can purchase, and a desire to remain at the top of the hierarchy. Whatever the cost to other human beings, whom they care nothing about. We are just the human capital that keeps them wealthy.
What’s the quickest way to drastically reduce the amount of GHG produced? Eliminate the people creating GHG.
This was demonstrated during the first few months of covid. Everything came to a halt. No planes, few cars, factories shut down.
@_Norwegian_Blue@mpdmaggs@BarbLarochelle@sshistorygal But it didn’t make an impact on climate change. It takes several centuries for GHG to dissipate. In fact removing them may need to be done to make an impact quicker than centuries or a millennium. Experimental technology is being created to do block sunlight.
@_Norwegian_Blue@mpdmaggs@BarbLarochelle@sshistorygal Eliminating large swaths of the human species would give scientists time to develop technology to deplete the accumulated GHG. But not change the lifestyles of those at the top of the hierarchy, much.
That’s what is happening. Sounds crazy. And it is. It’s diabolical.
Culling the majority of the human race to remain in power, maintaining most of their lifestyle and continue to produce fossil fuels until a better fuel/energy source can be found has been the pursuit of big oil for decades.
Big oil knows the outcome of overproducing GHG. It’s climate change. Yet big oil has spent billions to convince enough people to doubt climate change is real or man made.
Why?
@_Norwegian_Blue@mpdmaggs@BarbLarochelle@sshistorygal Because they didn’t want to lose power. Koch Industries, and a small consortium of extremely wealthy oligarchs across the globe have engineered our current circumstances. They know the end result will be mass global deaths.
@_Norwegian_Blue@mpdmaggs@BarbLarochelle@sshistorygal Climate change is only going to get worse from here on. Forest fires, drought, rising sea levels, changed climates, extreme heat and extreme cold. Increased magnitude of storms.
Every year we can expect worse. More and more will die.
@_Norwegian_Blue@mpdmaggs@BarbLarochelle@sshistorygal People will be exterminated by climate realities. Flooded island nations that disappear. Entire societies will collapse due to water and food shortages. It’s already occurring. Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, Honduras, Ecuador, Guatemala. The populations in these nations are dying.
@_Norwegian_Blue@mpdmaggs@BarbLarochelle@sshistorygal Trump desensitized the entire US nation and the globe and turned people away from humanitarian compassion and empathy. Babies in cages, children sent to concentration camps, mistreatment of those seeking asylum. But Trump isn’t the only one doing that.
@_Norwegian_Blue@mpdmaggs@BarbLarochelle@sshistorygal China’s Uighurs and other ethnic/religious minorities. Israel and Palestinians. Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Russia and Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, etc. Russia and Syria.
It’s happening globally. Incrementally worsening to desensitize people to mass deaths and suffering.
There are people unmoved by the deaths of many others because of this virus. We all witnessed Italy in horror so many months ago. But hospitals and healthcare systems being forced to triage is common now.
@_Norwegian_Blue@mpdmaggs@BarbLarochelle@sshistorygal Nobody blinks an eye barely. Albertans are protesting UCP policy. But many are resigned to permit children under 12 to be exposed to delta variant without any protection.
What has died in a person that is fine sacrificing children? Their humanity. Their empathy.
@_Norwegian_Blue@mpdmaggs@BarbLarochelle@sshistorygal I’ve documented this decline. Recognized it about May 2017. It made me ill once I realized what was happening. So I’ve tried to warn people. But I feel like I’ve barely made a dent.
People just think I’m seeking attention. They don’t realize what I’ve sacrificed to do this.
@_Norwegian_Blue@mpdmaggs@BarbLarochelle@sshistorygal I know this is difficult information to process. It requires you to acknowledge there are people in the world who are capable of terrible evil. None of us want to think about how evil some people can be. Most of us have never met anyone truly evil.
Most people see movies about outrageous evil characters. And then believe that that level of evil is rare and few and far between.
@_Norwegian_Blue@mpdmaggs@BarbLarochelle@sshistorygal I wish that were true. But if you’ve ever studied abnormal psychology, you know many people are really messed up in their brain wiring or have suffered horrific abuse that’s altered their personalities.
Personality disorders (like malignant narcissism) are not rare.
@_Norwegian_Blue@mpdmaggs@BarbLarochelle@sshistorygal Their presence in society is managed by laws, norms and peer pressure. Few of them have access to wealth and power. They hurt individuals but rarely get the chance to hurt civilizations.
What it requires is an open mind, acknowledgement of evil people, and a commitment to examine the evidence.
Which most refuse to do.
@_Norwegian_Blue@mpdmaggs@BarbLarochelle@sshistorygal I know some people believe me. But not enough. I see a population at various stages of comprehension. And little effort to learn what’s fact and what’s fiction. It’s not that hard if you put in the effort. And I’ve collected so much evidence it’s overwhelming.
@_Norwegian_Blue@mpdmaggs@BarbLarochelle@sshistorygal We can stop them. We outnumber them easily. But it requires us to face terrifying truths. It requires us to be at least familiar with the evidence. We need to put partisanship aside. And acknowledge our enemies have infiltrated the far left.
He’s measuring his power and the level of obedience of the population.
When the population is compliant to commands to sacrifice children, that reflects consolidated power.
@_Norwegian_Blue@mpdmaggs@BarbLarochelle@sshistorygal I want normal again. Not the status quo, NORMAL DEMOCRACY. I don’t want to constantly fear that Alberta will slip into another soft fascist regime for another 36 or 44 years.
But we aren’t getting out of this without a fight. Remember this threat is existential.
@_Norwegian_Blue@mpdmaggs@BarbLarochelle@sshistorygal But so many refuse to see reality and rationalize UCP as just a one term inept government. We have precious few years to reverse climate change. It requires us to remove the roadblocks to make process.
We need to educate protesters. What to expect and how to protect themselves. (Not pepper spray).
Counter protesters are expected.
Counter protesters attempting to intimidate & terrorize protesters should be recorded on video.
This is not normal times and these protesters are not the average dissenters. They are using intimidation, terrorism and extremist rhetoric to prevent protesters narratives from being heard.
It was NOT Minister Hajdu that forced Kenney to reopen after the first, second and third waves too early, causing another wave. Each successively worse in morbidity and mortality.
It was NOT Minister Hajdu who egregiously lied about the numbers of partially and fully vaccinated people in Alberta to justify hosting Stampede. We still haven’t reached 70% partial vaccinated and it’s several weeks after mask mandates were removed and Stampede was held.
The Dominionist movement is global, not just national or limited to North America.
The IDU is the hub of the Dominionist movement.
@_Norwegian_Blue@BarbLarochelle@sshistorygalIDU.org has tentacles across the globe. Over 80 nations have paleolibertarian political parties undermining democracy in home nations. Efforts are coordinated, highly organized & antidemocratic. This is the central planning organization behind authoritarian surge.
The law was created so conservatives could campaign endlessly. Which they do.
The circumstances facing our nation have changed dramatically since the last election. Covid has changed everything. Exposed enormous gaps and inequality.
@GlobeDebate@theJagmeetSingh A new mandate is required. An enormous financial commitment has been proposed. An opportunity to reset the system and replace the foundations on which it is based is before us.
All of this demands an election.
@GlobeDebate@theJagmeetSingh On top of that, 3rd and 4th place minority opposition parties hold the balance of power. Making partisan special interest demands in exchange for approval and confidence. Contrary to how our Westminster parliament is supposed to work.
