@mloxton @RD4Anarchy @WolfChristensen @Radical_EgoCom @Huntn00 I would recommend the work of Dr Robert Sapolsky to discover how "our apeish nature" presents is actually very dependent on culture and how we assign social status. Here's a short documentary on his breakthrough studying a baboon troupe, he also has an entire lecture series available on the Stanford YT channel.

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

“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.”

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?

@SocialistStan@mymastadon.link @mloxton @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social You don’t live in a vacuum. If you have millions of people living together and you hope to get any big things accomplished, like infrastructure, there has to be a level of organization supported by democracy, with an agreed to pay structure. You can either agree to participate or instead maybe wait for the local War Lord’s thugs to appear on your doorstep and dictate, to include dating your daughter.
