@flyovertruth is an old Twitter friend and was replying to one of my tweets.
Twitter chose to hide this tweet behind a banner.
I find this choice objectionable.
I believe Twitter tries to minimize negative speech re: billionaires.
I think the existence of billionaires is a clear failure of our socio-economic system and ways of social organization.
We're looking at the wrong White Supremacists. The ones on the street with the banners, those people are product. Their economic constructs, made by and for the service of the richest people in the world, the real white supremacists. The ones preserving the sanctity and permanenc
permanence of the system which white Europeans began to creat in about 1500 and swarmed across the world with, ever faster with each new invention.
I addressed that in a thread yesterday. RTing myself.
Wrong "their" earlier - white supremacists, they're...
I don't know why my fingers do that. Sometimes I catch them before I send. My forebrain knows the difference.
The white supremacist thugs on the streets, the ones who are about to launch an all-out guerilla action against the US government, they're plenty dangerous, but they're product. Rupert Murdoch created them in full public view.
The problem point is at the Murdoch level. Exclusive.
7. Not just Murdoch, there's half a dozen or more, but...
Those lunatics at those school boards did not originate one single thought or sentence they are spewing.
Just because you didn't fall for it doesn't mean it's them. They're product. Even Boebert. She's a tool. Not human.
8. All the words, all the phrases, all the sentences, all the so-called conspiracy theories, they all originate on the same level. The people who own most of the productive resources on Earth have scientists and engineers who write this crap. They know, by evidence from research,
9. That they can capture 35% of the population with this. With Fox / OAN / All Those Motherfuckers.
And that's all they need. 35%.
They have put every Mullah and Sheikh on Earth to shame. Talk about radicalization.
I hope they don't notice me. I already did my war. Not again.
10. The system runs on, and demands, requires to function, an incredible amount of energy in the forms of electronic information motion. Kinetic energy in waves and electron flows. Trillions of watts poured into creating and disseminating an entire fictional, but believable, 🌍🌎
11. And out the other end comes CO2, so since the machine that's talking to us eats a billion killowatt-hours a day, it naturally tells us to go out and build shit to feed it.
I don't wanna. I'm tired of it. I'm going to do a thread about the Amish. 🚶

Apocalypse Amish.
Over the years since I got off the renewable energy bandwagon I have mentioned the Amish, in positive ways, numerous times.
The problem with doing that is, many of the same people who acknowledge the reality of climate change also feel a powerful antipathy
2. toward religion.
And the Amish do what they do because of religion, it is impossible to deny.
So religion is why they do it.
I'm not interested in why they do it. I'm interested in what they do.
I'm not a church person myself. I choose to define myself by what I believe,
3. Rather than what I don't believe, but the reason I never tried to join the Amish myself is because I couldn't believe, and I wasn't going to lie about believing, and that's one of the rules.
So, I'm not trying to sell some religion. I never bought it and I don't have it.

Climate justice. Environmental racism. White supremacy. Genocide. Slavery. Climate change. The Industrial Revolution. Ecosystem collapse. It's all one thing.
It is a historic fact that the same people who invented the Industrial Revolution were the ones who came over here and
2. Killed almost all the people who lived here, and their children, in an ongoing holocaust of Biblical proportion, cut down the forest, plowed the prairie, killed everything the people who lived here were living on, turned it all into money.
Couldn't have done it without 🚂🚂
3. It is an absolute literal fact that the Industrial Revolution powered a significant portion of the genocide.
And we didn't just kill all the people. We killed the land. We're still killing it - land dies slowly. It's tough. There are two and half billion years of life there.

If I never read or was told another word Lauren Boebert said it would be a week to soon.
We - Democrats - never tell our story. We're too busy jumping up to defend ourselves from their lies. Which spreads their lies to a wider audience. Some of whom believe them.
Ignore them.
Ronald Reagan got elected on the platform, "Government sucks."
In all the years since, one thing no Democrat before Joe Biden has stood up and said, "Government is a good thing. It's supposed to be here, it's supposed to make your life better."
We still won't say it.
3. There is no specific program on Biden's agenda more important than "Government is a good thing."
But we're too busy with point-by-point refutations of Lauren Boebert and *ucker Carlson.
And the rest of the MFM (the last word is Media and the first compound word a swearword)

"Slow down," I say, and it seems trivial. Everyone* responds, "Yes, we need to reduce consumerism..." or whatever.
No, I mean: slow down.
2. The nations of the world could all get together at a real, we're-actually-scared conference, and agree.
3.
🔹 Reduce all surface speeds 5 mph / year until nothing goes faster than a running horse
🔹Apply analogous energy throughput limitations on air and sea traffic worldwide
🔹Plant all lands freed up as a result of 1🔹 and 2 🔹 to complex locally adapted ecosystems / food source

I have taken a break from speaking about actions which would be available to global developed societies if they wanted to reduce their GHG emissions.
There are several. It wouldn't be hard. It's just unthinkable.
2. If the urge strikes you to tell me people won't do this, please do not hit send on the tweet. The endless repetitions of that response have nearly forced me to quit this line of discussion. I cannot express the weight of the feeling of futility I carry. I actually care.
3. I already got it.
Fuck this. Lemme go catch my breath.
Y'all are beating me to death. I know you feel all-knowing, but I can't bear the weight of your collective certainty.
YOU DO REALIZE ALMOST EVERYONE IS GOING TO FUCKING DIE, RIGHT?

.@ClimateBen tweeted this last night.
I'd like to add to it by mentioning the sources of the emissions to which he refers.
2. This tweet is in the same thread.
Record CO2 emissions.
Anybody wonder why?
3. The BIF (Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework) aka (Big Industrial Fuckup) highway project, by itself, will be one of the largest increases if fossil fuel use as well as non-fuel based emissions in the history of the nation.
Biggest new concrete manufacturing in 70 years.
