Thread by @SteB777

The current global situation, is a complete mess, with a multitude of conflicting and contradictory narratives, so messed up, that even the person with the best overall perspective, can't pick out any consistent thread to make sense of it.

It's overwhelming.
1/🧵

I've been thinking about this thread for some time, and still can't find a way of cutting through all the obfuscation, and smokescreen, so this is just a placeholder for when I manage.

In the meantime, I will outline the whole problem.

As I've said, we've entered into a whole new phase, and yet no one has really noticed it, or defined it. The global situation today, is profoundly different from what it was 15 years ago, and I will briefly explain why.
3/

The primary reason, was that 15 years ago, it was still just about credible, that our leaders were going to take the appropriate action on the climate and ecological crisis, which they pledged to take at the 1992 Rio Earth Summit.

It is no longer credible, that our governments and leaders, intend to take that appropriate action, and it is questionable, whether they ever intended what they pledged. That they were just playing for time, with false pledges. It's an old trick.
5/

As we move forward in time, the action necessary to prevent future catastrophe, has to be ever more sudden, radical and drastic. It would mean suspending the whole world economic and financial system as it is now, and yet our leaders are more unwilling to change, than ever.
6/

In addition, much climate and biodiversity destruction is now locked in, meaning no matter how radical action is, we can never repair it all and difficult times lie ahead. Although we can prevent it getting much worse, just. But time is running out.

Some will say, but I'm overlooking many things, and I'm solely focused on the climate and ecological crisis. Yes, there is much more, and I will come to that. However, people must realize, that if we don't address the climate and ecological emergency, it is game over for us.

Personally, I have been deeply shocked, how western governments have been trying to gaslight us into ignoring the mass civilian deaths, and 20,000 or more children missing in Gaza, a horror beyond horrors.

I commend those with large followings such as @GretaThunberg and @AURORAmusic for counteracting the lies and gaslighting by our leaders, which is truly Orwellian, and shocking. I thank all others trying to counteract this gaslighting.

Then there is the shocking way, that all the costs and burden is being put onto ordinary people, and the vulnerable, with austerity. Where billionaires rapidly head towards being the first trillionaires by 2027-30.

All this is highly interlinked and connected, with a tiny minority of incredibly rich and powerful people, being behind all of this, corrupting of our societies, and polluting discourse with their disinformation. Gigantic gaslighting. They are malignant liars.
12/

It's very difficult to know if democracy, and freedom were always just an illusion, and all the time these narcissistic and dishonest people, with no moral compasses, were always taking us towards this abyss, and were simply lying about what they really believed in.
13/

I say, that it is still possible to break out of this, if people will wake up to the situation we are in, and throw off the control of these enemies of humanity, driving us towards the collapse of our civilization.

What the oligarchy, the top 1% must realize, is that they can only put off radical change, for a bit longer. Change is coming whether they like it or not, and they can't stop it. Their money and their power, will not save them from this reckoning.

What this is about, is us managing and navigating this radical change, without billions of people starving to death, which is what'll happen, if we don't prise the control of our societies, from this super rich death cult, which currently has a stranglehold on our societies.
