A rare victory in the #ClimateEmergency. This is an example of regular people persisting and fighting no matter what. This is how we have to fight if we are to have a future on this planet. We KNOW our corporate owned political systems aren't going to get it done. This is the sad truth. https://geoffreydeihl.substack.com/p/a-victory-for-a-clean-and-healthful
@timo21 It’s really tragic that did not happen.
@RD4Anarchy@kolektiva.social I’m not hostile to your views, however it was the Industrial Revolution, large scale manufacturing which drew masses of people out of agriculture into the factories, mass production a new efficient way to create and make a lot of money. We flocked to it. It was more of a natural development. But if you want to be angry be angry at the people in charge People like you and me who had an idea that propelled us as a species forward. 🤔

“In 2022, a report commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs concluded that the agency’s internal culture was riddled with structural racism. Some employees recounted being described as “monkeys” while others were continually asked to disavow terrorist attacks. In response, the foreign minister Wopke Hoekstra promised reform. “This is not who we want to be,” he said.”
You don’t say. I’m shocked I tell you. Shocked.

@RD4Anarchy@kolektiva.social @mloxton @WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social The answer is cause and effect. There are good and bad people, but collectively I predict we will muddle along and won’t take climate change seriously enough until we start dieing in mass. Right now this should be our top priority, trumping established economic systems, but half of us seem to think it’s a liberal conspiracy to rob them. 😢
@spoons@kolektiva.social @foolishowl @HeavenlyPossum@kolektiva.social @WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social @mloxton management of a nuclear power plant, any complex machinery requires, knowledge, training, set procedures, and intelligence. Economic systems have little to do with these type standards. You either insist on competence and professionalism or you end up with an event and a crisis. 🤔

@HeavenlyPossum @WolfChristensen @Radical_EgoCom @mloxton @spoons @Huntn00 David Graeber talked about "baseline communism", the basic mutual aid and cooperation any society needs to function at all.
I'm also fond of this essay, which explains that even in a workplace like a nuclear power plant, most activity is peer-to-peer cooperation, and hierarchical decisionmaking actually interferes with normal operations.

@spoons@kolektiva.social @HeavenlyPossum@kolektiva.social @mloxton @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social @WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social Natural refers to the tendencies of human beings and what attracts them, how they function.
@HeavenlyPossum@kolektiva.social @mloxton @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social @spoons@kolektiva.social @WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social How it was forced? Granted the wealthy has always controlled the show outside of revolution. Manufacturing developed, people left the farms because the pay was better. Companies/corporations attracted investors, etc. Under an anarchistic system how do you see manufacturing develop substantially differently?

What a slippery slope our environmental degradation is.
Are we going to normalize having to have personal air purifiers in our homes (for those who can afford them) and let polluters keep polluting, rather than clean up the air for everyone?

How a Florida county became the book ban heartland of the US
As the extremist group Moms for Liberty flourishes in Clay county, a campaign of outrage has books disappearing from school shelves
If you and I together don't save this pillar of Democracy, who will?

@HeavenlyPossum@kolektiva.social @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social @spoons@kolektiva.social @mloxton @WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social I’d say that’s a false conclusion. What changed drastically? Technology changed us. Why did people leave the farms for the cities? Centers of wealth based on technology and production of material goods. Capitalism was a natural path for humanity. Observing not selling, not defending it. 🫣
@WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @mloxton @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social It sounds like or can I infer that tearing it it all down is your solution? 🤔Hypothetical, if you were in a protest and a huge fight started between Proud Boys and Antifa, what side would you pick or would you retreat? Not asked prejudicially.
@JizzelEtBass@kolektiva.social @WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @spoons@kolektiva.social @mloxton @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social How about in the realm of large scale democracies it has been as successful as we could expect humans to perform? 😉

@chrixmaru@kolektiva.social @mloxton @WolfChristensen@kolektiva.social @spoons@kolektiva.social @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social Dear Mastodon user, you’ve have captured not only the essence of Capitalism, but identified why it can’t last in any future scenario with automation, compounded by AI where the masses with pitch forks don’t show up at the Lord’s manor to string him up, and then descend into… anarchy 😁 I’m kind of serious, but what do I know, I just imagine.
