The world is in a complete and utter mess, on every level, due to insane, incompetent, and just evil leadership, and the manipulation by billionaires/oligarchs, pulling the strings of politicians.

It's becoming increasingly difficult for me to say anything constructive.
1/🧵

As most will know, I mainly commentate from the perspective of the climate and ecological crisis. Actually, ecological is every interaction. So when you see a genocide happening in plain sight, ruthless and uncaring politics, that is ecological.
2/

I am able to see the whole big picture, in my mind. This does not mean seeing everything, which is impossible. But seeing the connection between everything, it's possible for a reasonably well-informed person to see, and how it all joins up.
3/

It's very clear that our major politicians, big platform media commentators, influential economists etc, see very little. They all live in a little bubble, and most of our current situation, just goes, whoosh over the top of our head. They are very compartmentalized.
4/

The reason the climate and ecological emergency matters so much, is not because that is how I see things, but because it determines everything about our future, and if we even have one. Everything now unfolding, entirely depends on it.

Yes, there are immediate emergencies, like the genocide in Gaza, and similar situations in other parts of the world.

But there is not a crisis over finance, as our political leaders falsely claim, as the very rich, are vastly richer than at any other time in history.
6/

In other words, what our political leaders focus on, is a totally fake crisis, as there is plenty of money to deal with social crises, it is just that they refuse to collect it from the very richest, who control them and have them in their pocket.

At the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, world leaders promised to address all these problems, not just the climate and ecological crisis, but wealth distribution and poverty. Yet we've been going backwards for the last 33 years.

The reason for this are very simple, the billionaires/oligarchs, and those just underneath them, along with big corporations, totally control our politicians, who are now no more than their lackeys. They do not represent or serve the people, at all.
9/

The news media are even worse, they are wholly owned and controlled by oligarchs. They do not even try to report the news, and just try to control people's thinking via propaganda tactics. They completely fail to report what is happening, in a truthful way.
10/

We are buried under an avalanche of disinformation and propaganda, to manipulate the people, into carrying on with business as usual BaU, as pathologically deranged oligarchs, scramble to become the first trillionaire.
11/

This is why the unaddressed climate and ecological crisis, putting us on the path to global suicide, and all these other humanitarian crises around the world are ignored. Because only the skyrocketing wealth of the very rich and corporations, matters.

12/oxfam.org.uk/media/press-re…

Everything else is secondary, to the agenda of the already absurdly very rich, and their obsession with getting even richer. Trying to cut public services, welfare for the most vulnerable, and anything that acts as a drag on wealth creation for the very rich.
13/

We are subjected to massive gaslighting for the corporate/oligarch media, from politicians in their pocket, to focus on distractions, like immigration (actually driven by the corporate/oligarch machine), to stop people seeing the big picture.
14/

There has been absolutely no progress on any major issue, just industrial level gaslighting, to give the false impression of progress.

It's depressing, and I openly admit to being seriously depressed by it.
15/

Up until, about 2010, it's rather an arbitrary figure, because the writing on the wall was clear, long before, there was a barely credible promise, that our leaders were going to fix this. To finally address the climate crisis, the biodiversity crisis, and everything else.
16/

However, ever since, you have to be wearing welding glasses, not to see that all those promises we were strung along with, for decades, were knowing bare-faced lies.
17/

We are now in a dire situation, where the only hope, is to rid ourselves from the grip of the parasitic oligarch class (actually parasitoids) and their minions.

They have brought about the situation, with their greed, where there is no other option.

18/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitoid

The oligarch class and their minions, seem to be totally devoid of a conscience, and compassion for ordinary people. They are behaving like true psychopaths, and are pathologically deranged, and need to be locked away for public safety.
19/

If anyone has any doubts to what I say, please point to the oligarch/billionaire, or their political and media minions, saying this has gone too far, we need radical action to change the system?

There are none, proving how pathologically deranged they are.
20/

These people are so pathologically deranged, that they are driving our civilization towards total collapse, and humanity to mass starvation, by trying to gaslight humanity to believe there is no other way. That is why we must shake off the grip of these malignant gaslighters.
