@AnarchoNinaWrites@oliphant.social An automated future will happen ☑️, Capitalism as we know it will collapse ☑️, Humanity and its economic systems will adjust or Civilizations will collapse. And this is before adding The Great Filter into the conversation. 🤔 https://www.astronomy.com/science/the-great-filter-a-possible-solution-to-the-fermi-paradox/
What is happening in #Maui & elsewhere is #ClimateColoniality, where #colonial & #imperial oppression, #capitalist exploitation & #racialized control create conditions of worsening #climate #injustices.
A couple of readings to help more comprehensive understanding of these components related to #climatecrisis:

Of course it is!
Journalists/writers covering #MauiFires or any of the climate-related disasters would benefit from clearer understandings of connections globally across colonialism, imperialism, capitalism, racism, international development, patriarchy to #ClimateChange. I hope these help but feel free to ask!

"Two prominent conservative law professors have concluded that Donald J. Trump is ineligible to be president under a provision of the Constitution that bars people who have engaged in an insurrection from holding government office."

Does this mean we’ll finally get an actual definition of “woke”?

Hey, America, Grow Up!
"Left or right, apparently we’re all victims now.
The instability of the self has created an immature public culture —
impulsive, dramatic, erratic and cruel.
In institution after institution, from churches to schools to nonprofits,
the least mature voices dominate and hurl accusations,
while the most mature lie low, trying to get through the day."
@solownh I’ll clarify that Trump does not represent the typical Ruling Class, but the criminal Mob Boss plus Fascism fancier, but the former is in aspersion only, he’s malignant enough, but too soft, pudgy, and whiny. Yet so far it has been an effective, though fading strategy to solicit support from #STUPID, #Racist #MAGA, and his co-conspirators in his plot to trash the Constitution and turn the FedGovt into his corrupt personal muscle. 🤬
