europe spent 400 years using slave labour in colonies to build their wealth, rebranded this extraction model in the 20th century and somehow their citizens still believe their social conditions is a result of some superior intellect rather than inhuman violence
IPBES shows 1. domination of and disconnection from nature and people and 2. concentrations of wealth and power lead to catastrophic impacts through capitalism, colonialism, modernity, slavery, growth-driven economies.
BUT they say ALL businesses can be positive agents of change!
scientific consensus: the "growth of the global economy" has lead to "immense" biodiversity destruction "which now poses a critical and pervasive systemic risk to [wait for it.....] the economy"
I doubt it. Being on the left means you're constantly annoyed and exasperated by other leftists, but you do it anyway because it's about a commitment to human liberation. It's not a social club
This is an example of why industrial agriculture is not designed to feed people. It’s designed to control who eats. Making an island dependent on outside sources for food always leads to starvation.
The purpose of a system is what it does.
Missä pääministerin ja puolustusministerin kommentit tilanteessa, jossa Suomi pyrkii edistämään puolustusteollisuuden yhteistyötä kansanmurhaa toteuttavan valtion kanssa? Miten tällainen on ylipäänsä mahdollista?

Aivan käsittämätön ratkaisu puolustusministeriöltä. On häpeällistä, että Suomi on näin uskomattoman haluton ja kyvytön tekemään ensimmäistäkään käytännön toimea puolustakseen ”arvojaan” ja ”sääntöpohjaisuutta”, mitä puheissa ja kv-areenoilla korostetaan.

i think one of the worst facets of the modern panopticon is that people get so hung up on being a Good Person™ as an identity and seem to think if they can’t fully live up to it they shouldn’t try, so instead of doing what good they can do, they do nothing and try to justify it.
To be clear, I don’t just hate GenAI. I also hate golf, war, monoculture farming, clear-cutting forests, and building on floodplains. I love biodiversity, wildlife conservation, regenerative forestry, soil restoration, sustainable farming, and economic degrowth.
