This heat is not only a climate emergency, it is class war. The rich burn the planet, then buy air conditioning, private pools and second homes while workers are left in overheated flats, unsafe jobs, failed public services and burning cities. Climate Action Now!
Nothing you haven’t heard before, but just to reiterate, I guess: the overlapping ecological crises brought on by industrial civilization—and greatly accelerated by capitalism—will cause the collapse of human society &—depending on our response—potentially our extinction, too
I don’t just hate generative AI slop. I also hate golf, lawns, space tourism, war, monoculture farming, clear-cutting forests, building on floodplains, deep-sea mining, development that destroys habitats, bulldozing ecosystems for endless “growth,” and data centres.
Women have been saying for years that there is a growing backlash against gender equality, and every time the conversation comes up we’re told we’re imagining it.
Now the United Nations is saying it.
According to a UN report, nearly 1 in 4 countries reported setbacks in women’s rights and gender equality. Hundreds of millions of women and girls are living in conflict zones, violence against women remains widespread, and UN officials are warning about a growing backlash against women’s rights worldwide.
The part that stands out to me isn’t even the statistics. It’s that women have been raising concerns about misogyny, online hostility toward women, violence, and attacks on reproductive rights for years, only to be dismissed as overreacting.
If the UN Secretary-General is warning about the “mainstreaming of misogyny,” maybe it’s time to stop pretending these concerns came out of nowhere.
Do you think women’s rights are genuinely facing setbacks, or do you think organizations like the UN are exaggerating the problem?
No one lifts a finger against the Taliban despite the regular global coverage of the barbaric oppression Afghan women go through, but people will still argue that bringing attention to violent patriarchy is effective "manufacturing consent" for imperialism

They dropped so many bombs on Gaza and released over 30 million tonnes of CO2. There's also the data centers, one of them reportedly releasing 23 atomic bombs worth of heat into the atmosphere. We are also razing forests faster than we can regrow them.
It was filmed. They laughed as they raped. Used a knife. Judge fawns over them and sets them free.
There is a sickness in the liberal mind. From pedos, to rape to the BBC sympathising with father’s selling their daughters into slavery. Sick sick sick
