What I was trying to do with this thread, is to illustrate, how all those who deny the existential threat to our civilization, from the climate and ecological crisis, are in some form of ideologically motivated denial.
1/🧵
As I point out, ALL, not some, who attack environmentalists and climate activists as alarmists, because there is no scientific evidence, for the threat to our civilization by the climate crisis, are being intellectually dishonest.

I want to write a few threads about civilization collapse, and the danger of it, because so few to any understand it. Although it will probably be a waste of time, because I seemed to be having my threads hidden. But I just want to get it down.
1/🧵
I'm not a doom-monger, saying civilization is going to happen come what may. All my commenting is to stop that happening, because it is entirely possible to avoid this, if, and only if we massively change our system, and start cooperating, and stop competing.

"Peter Thiel, the billionaire political svengali and tech investor, is worried about the antichrist. It could be the US. It could be Greta Thunberg."
If anyone closely resembles the anti-christ, it's Peter Thiel, Donald Trump and JD Vance.

Just to make it clear, that I am not religious. But I have read most of the Bible when I was younger, and self-evidently Trump hasn't.
Enough to know that the Jesus described was quite the woke commie.

Once again, Twitter/X, seems to be hiding my own posts from me. I was trying to explained the messed up nature of our modern society. We need to understand another systems theory, property, and that is emergent properties.
1/🧵
An emergent property, is where out of a set of parameters of a system, a whole new property emerges, that can't simplistically be understood, from the parts of the system it emerged from. It develops a life of its own.
Trump is not some sort of hero, deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize, for this so-called peace deal. Trump is personally responsible for all the tens of thousands Palestinian deaths since he has been in office, as Biden before him.
1/🧵
Both Biden and Trump could have immediately stopped the genocidal massacre of Palestinian civilians, and their starvation, by simply threatening to cut off US military and other aid, as Trump did with Ukraine.

I made this comment in response to @ZackPolanski comment, about being attacked by the right. I will place it as a free standing thread. It is about why an agenda of radical change, is the only realistic way forward, and why.
1/🧵
“There are now no non-radical futures. The choice is between immediate and profound social change or waiting a little longer for chaotic and violent social change. In 2023 the window for this choice is rapidly closing.”
@KevinClimate
I want to commend @ZackPolanski for finally saying things in public, in a strong and forthright way, that appeals to everyone. Progressives, without a platform, have been saying these things for years, but never have they been effectively articulated publicly.
1/🧵
Yes, other politicians, have said enlightened things, and I acknowledge them. But none have shaken up the discourse, like @ZackPolanski has. We need far more people to pick up the baton, and start saying these things, in a clear and effective way, to speak with one voice.

This is straight up sophistry, clever false argument by @lewis_goodall. I can explain to @ZackPolanski how to deal with false argument like this. Instead of trying to counter the false argument, the tactic should be to demand he produces examples to support his assertions.
1/🧵
@lewis_goodall is not asking questions. He is making a series of provably false assertions, implying that fascists declare their intentions to create a one party authoritarian state, before they get into power. I know of no example where this has happened.

So I'm supposed to believe that I only got 298 views and 8 likes, on a factual, thread about the Orwellian truth manipulation we are being subjected to, when I have over 26K followers, and 2 months ago, over half a million people were viewing my threads? 1/7
Here is the evidence of the sort of viewing figures I was getting only 2 months ago. I mean, I have had over 3.2 million views in 7 days. I know what happened, I am not fucking stupid. 2/7

The world is in a very dangerous place. The extreme right, and centrist neoliberals (they merge into each other) are use Orwellian doublethink/doublespeak, and the methods described in "1984", as a political how to do it manual.
1/🧵en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orwellian
In doublethink/speak, things become inverted, War is Peace, Slavery becomes Freedom, Ignorance is Strength, and Lies become the Truth.
It's very easy to illustrate this with how the term terrorism, has become inverted, and abused.
"Synagogue attacker who killed two was a ‘terrorist targeting Jews because they are Jews’, says Starmer"
Netanyahu's government, is committing genocide in Gaza, because the Palestinian residents of Gaza, aren't Jews. That is a fact.
1/🧵theguardian.com/uk-news/live/2…
I condemn anti-Semitism, and the type of hatred that led to this mindless violence, as much as I condemn the Zionist hatred of Palestinians. Mindless violence and hatred, is mindless violence and hatred. It's not about sides.

Everything we need to know about the climate and ecological crisis, was in the early speeches of @GretaThunberg.
We go wrong looking for complicated explanations, when the simplest, can be the trues. It was the finest analysis ever.
1/🧵
Greta got everything right. She said it was being driven by a few people, solely focused on getting incredibly rich. 100% accurate.

I want to briefly explain how I make my political predictions, which are much more accurate than other commentators, who are nearly always wrong. Although the intuitive insight bit is less easy to explain. Firstly, I totally ignore received wisdom, and collective belief.
1/🧵
Secondly, I deliberate ignore, rhetoric, with is always deceiving. Not just the person themselves, but what those involved say about them.
Primarily, I look at trends and trajectory, along with past precedent.

"‘There are ripples of hope’: allies of Keir Starmer say he can prove doubters wrong"
This is dangerous Orwellian nonsense. Keir Starmer has breached the boundaries of what is acceptable, for a Labour politician. He has to go.
1/🧵theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
Firstly, and most seriously, because it puts him in breach of international law. He has repeatedly and persistently denied that what is happening in Gaza, is genocide, and has gone to enormous lengths to facilitate it.

What I was alluding to in this thread, is the way the media fails to hold Trump and others to account. It is as fixed as professional wrestling, where the outcome is decided in advance. The aim is to be seen to be fighting back, when aiming to lose.
1/🧵threadreaderapp.com/thread/1970620…
Journalists, editors know how to expose liars, frauds and incompetents, it's journalism 101. But oddly with Trump, Farage and other powerful bad actors, they suddenly forget how to expose these cheap conmen, liars and frauds. Why?

"Recent studies show that between 80 and 89% of the world’s population wants to see climate action."
The populist right, the representatives of billionaires, want people to believe that no one takes climate change seriously, any longer.
1/🧵theguardian.com/environment/20…
This is classic manipulative gaslighting, and attempted mind control. The idea of the very rich, is to stop people finding out, how many other people care about climate change, so they will conform, and not take it seriously. It's the tail trying to wag the dog.

WTF is going on? The Guardian writes an editorial.
"Trump’s UN speech makes it clear: the world can no longer look to the US for strong leadership"
I write an evidence based thread, showing how to hold Trump to account, and it's totally ignored.
1/theguardian.com/world/2025/sep…
The whole problem, is that the media and commentators are not holding Donald Trump to account over his lies. I used a simple example of how Trump's present position over Ukraine is totally inconsistent with what he has said over the last 9 years.
'Trump added: “Russia has been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years, a war that should have taken a Real Military Power less than a week to win.”'
"'Your countries are going to hell': Trump scolds migration throughout Europe"
Let's get some facts clear.
Trump is a European immigrant, to America, which is overrun by migrants from Europe. The US is an immigrant country, being run by immigrants.
1/🧵theguardian.com/us-news/live/2…
It seems like the MAGA cult has a problem processing this factual information. Because until 500 years or so ago, there were no white Europeans living in North America, were Native Americans. The immigrants came in, and took over.

People are familiar how cliques work, from office and work place cliques, school, college and university cliques etc, but they are not familiar how they work at high level, simply as very few have access to these social strata, and they are so secretive.
1/🧵
Does this mean, that cliques don't exist in senior political, executive level management, and the social world of the very rich? Of course, they exist, probably far more so, as such social circles are very exclusive.

Our whole society is being controlled by a tiny clique of disingenuous, manipulative, powerful and wealthy people, pretending to believe in and be pursuing agendas they don't really believe in. They are destroying our society, with their manipulation.
1/🧵
When I say, clique, I mean a morass of overlapping and interlinked cliques, because these people are often not in the same social networks, and they often differ on some topics. However, broadly they have similar common and vested interests, like avoiding paying tax.
