Part of the problem with getting westerners to realise a sustainable system can mean a much better life is the degree to which they don't realise how bad today really is.

Hyperindividualism & atomization is an inhumanity unique in human history, & it's terrible for *all* of us. We've been part of a massive social experiment designed with little but profit in mind.

Those in power literally changed us. They did destroy community. They destroyed cultures. They homogenized & standardized & optimized & streamlined us into a dystopian consumerist death cult.

"Where's all the positive male role models?"

Here's one:

Reality in this system:
poor people dirt regardless of shade.
But with that said,
let's not pretend everything is the same.

Akala bodying class reductionists.

New one for the list.

Vote on the need for a new economic system.

Note: climate scientists agree that we need one to fight climate change.

Adding this one because although it's little more than a reflection of the dominant language of a website, it's quite a funny tweet.

This is an astonishing chart. If climate change hits hard, by 2060, & if I'm wrong just add a generation, it could be responsible for more suffering, in absolute numbers of human beings enduring it, than the total number of people that ever existed from 10,000BC to the end of feudalism.

Labour is fucked.

Yes, the Left did well to gain control of the NEC and make reforms, but they have two choices.

Soften & keep compromising with the Labour right, or go harder, & face years more of neoliberal PLP sabotage, media weaponisation, & smears.. while fascism rises. Either way, it's not good for them.

Softening means falling far, far, far short of the kind of radical change that is required if we are to reverse fascism & deal with climate change.

We'll have lost our last hope of any top-down help in the time we have left to do it in.

Inequality is a proxy for corruption. You have to have hegemonic control over a culture, decades of systemic decay, to get to a point where billionaires flaunting their wealth can be considered popular entertainment while thousands die every year of artificial scarcity. Neoliberal hegemony took root across the Anglosphere in the early 1980's. Ideology, when implemented, can take different forms in different countries, but it's not a coincidence that neoliberal states all experienced the same trends in inequality.

We desperately need to have a conversation about what tactics & means are *not* justified to stop this. Now. theguardian.com/environment/20… We're soon going to see a big increase in what'll be called Eco-terrorism. The narrative, reality, demands it. How can they be unjustified?
