@attarian13 @VBkramnik @Ruhichess The behaviour termed bullying is defined by the repetition of the act, not merely the act itself. A single X post does not cross that threshold of definition. Know what you think before you write.

Western civilization is not worth saving. I think that's been pretty well established by now.

That's one of the silliest things about the way rightists are always babbling about how we need to protect our way of life from immigrants or Islam or "the trans agenda" or whatever. They're beginning with the assumption that this train wreck of a society is worth saving.

I am not saying that westerners should die. I am not saying that all the ideals and values that westerners purport to hold are worthless. I am saying that this civilization, as it actually exists, is an indefensible disaster. Clearly.

Our way of living on this planet. The way we treat one another. The way we treat people on other continents. All the systems and social structures that give rise to the way things are. These things should not exist. We should not be the way that we are.

This civilization is genocidal. Ecocidal. Omnicidal. Imperialist. Racist. Dehumanizing. Degrading. Dystopian. Emotionally stunted. Culturally vapid. Spiritually impoverished. Intellectually enslaved. Why would any sane person want this to continue?

We don't need to rescue western civilization from outside forces, we need to rescue ourselves from western civilization.

If we listen to our hearts we can understand that the call isn't to save western civilization from corruption by foreign cultures or new ways of thinking, but to radically transform it from the murderous, tyrannical and oppressive nightmare that it has always been.

The western way of life doesn't need to be preserved, it needs to end. We cannot keep doing this. We cannot go on this way. We cannot keep poisoning our planet, our minds, our hearts and our souls with the McGenocide ideology of the western empire. We are headed somewhere dark, somewhere none of us want to go, and we need to turn around.

Nothing about our old way of doing things has worked out for us. Everything we were doing before wound up bringing us to this terrible point. We don't need to go backwards, and we don't need to stay still. We need to evolve.

Gaza is a mirror. It's showing us what we are. What we have always been.

It's time to be real about what we are seeing.

when the bread trucks drive

no martyrs no funerals no haters
like our sand

we never die we belong

@LibyaLiberty I am furious. The attempts to negate the horrors of Hamas’ actions by pretending that the absolutely horrific acts of the right wing government in Israel is equivalent is wrong and agonizing.

I was set upon by a group of immigrants in Dublin yesterday. They gave me a triple heart bypass and saved my life 🫀😊

The condition of #orangutans near coal mining areas in East Borneo is deplorable. They are skin and bones, starving after losing their homes and food sources. Economic development is fine, but economic development at the expense of the environment and other living things is not acceptable.

A History Lesson..
John Key when he became PM of NZ had a wealth of $25M from Current Trading..
It took him 25yrs to amount that..
During his 9 yrs as PM of NZ he tripled that sum to $75M
And now you know why Luxon is so intent on the position...hes not interested in NZs position

[Bob Miller @BobbyMiller202]

NZ's economy is the largest it's ever been, and growing. Record low unemployment for 18 months, sky high workforce participation, wage growth higher than inflation.

Don't drink National and Act's Kool-Aid that NZ isn't doing well until the poorest are put back in their place.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Correct: there’s no way you can continue wasting hundreds of millions of dollars on stock buybacks to manipulate prices, jack up CEO pay to ludicrous levels, all while starving the workers who actually make the product you sell.

THAT is what is unsustainable.
Pay your workers.

[Climate Dad @ClimateDad77]

FYI, if you believe the world is run by woke-leftie-climate-alarmists then you’ve been successfully duped & distracted by the world-running-billionaires & their media stooges, who are monetising your rage while simultaneously decimating your future for mind-boggling profits.

[Sam Knowlton @samdknowlton]

Today, we need to eat approximately 2x more meat, 3x more fruit, and 4-5x more vegetables to get the same amount of mineral nutrition as offered by the same foods prior to the industrialization of our food system.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

The US Air Force is clearing out jungles in the Pacific and replacing them with airfields for its coming war with China,
because there exist people on this earth who look at a jungle and think, “This should be replaced with an airfield to prepare for a war with China.”

There are people on this earth who say, “You know the world would be a much better place if all these trees and exotic insects and birds were replaced with long stretches of concrete lined with nuclear bombers on high alert.”

There are people on this earth who see bulldozing rainforests to make way for war planes as much simpler and easier than just making peace.

There are people on this earth who would spend their entire lives making up new excuses to fight new enemies, and then tear up every inch of the biosphere looking for ways to defeat those enemies.

There are people on this earth who would rather wipe out all biodiversity than allow for any diversity in world leadership.

There are people on this earth who would rather rule supreme over a wasteland of irradiated dust and ashes than see the rise of a multipolar world.

There are people on this earth who would rather annihilate everything than take a brief moment to pause and look inward.

There are people on this earth who would rather stare down the barrel of nuclear armageddon than turn and stare at themselves.

There are people on this earth who would light the skies on fire before they’d take even a minute to just be here now.

There are people on this earth who would rather destroy everything than make peace with anything.

There are people on this earth who look at the staggering beauty of the natural world and think how wonderful it would be if they could tear it all down and funnel it into a factory to make Tomahawk missiles.

The biosphere is dying,
and we are hurtling toward nuclear war,
and it is so very, very heartbreaking,
and yet even in the midst of that heartbreak
nature shines as majestically as ever,
and some moments all you can do is take in the beauty
and take it as your solemn, sacred duty to appreciate it while it lasts,
and look at the trees and the bugs and the birds and the critters
who never had anything to do with this madness,
and bow as deeply as your body can bow,
and say I’m sorry.
I’m so sorry.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

I get asked this all the time, so I am reposting my famous thread of all the top strategic thinkers - from Kissinger to Chomsky - who warned for years that war was coming if we pursued NATO expansion, yet had their advice ignored (which begs the question: why?).

Over the last week I've seen a LOT of footage of flooding around the world. I thought I'd put them here in one place 🧵

If it's a conspiracy and you believe it's true and you believe scientists are wrong, then you are a f&%king idiot.

That's all. That's the Tweet.

My hope for the book: it shifts the dialogue from “misinformation” or “infodemic” as though it’s random junk appearing on the internet, to what it actually is: an organized, well-financed, politically motivated, lethal, anti-science ecosystem, taking thousands of American lives
