Unlike other #nuclear#states , #France has chosen to reprocess its nuclear #waste on a massive scale, first at La Hague and then partly in... #Russia .While this saves 20% of #natural#uranium in #French nuclear #power#plants ,the #choice is politically highly questionable, since not only has it already accumulated 100 tonnes of #plutonium stored in France, which represents an enormous #risk , but it also contributes to financing the #Russian#state and, consequently, its #war in #Ukraine .
Have you ever heard a #song and you were immediately captivated by it even though you don't understand the #language ?
Did you also try to find a #translation ?

Daily #reminder that it is NOT anti-semitic to be against #Israel's #apartheid rule. It is not #antisemitic to be against the violence against #Gaza and other #countries. It's not antisemitic to be on the right side of #history. And ESPECIALLY. It is not antisemitic to say #Palestine should be free.
This week, on December the 6th, was the Independence Day of #Finland, Swedish: "självständighetsdagen" & Finnish "itsenäisyyspäivä". Also the name of the country in Finnish & other neighboring languages is #Suomi
#Islam
But to be sure, i also consider #Countries that have #religion as the rule of law the worst kind of dictatorships, where their leader are just #Hypocrites that disregard any humans rights.
And that is the reality of the majority of the #Muslin states of the middle east.
yeah it is actually insane that literally millions of #people have been murdered by the united states in the name of anticommunism, just for daring to want an #anarchist#society, people are permanently disabled or traumatized, children are born with birth defects from us bombs to this day, many #countries are still under crushing #economic sanctions or still living in the aftermath of us backed #rightwing coups, and it really is insignificant to most #humans
I think that the worst and most dangerous misconception #people have about #fascism is that it's this sort of turbocharged "Beast Mode" that #countries can go into to increase their production, win wars, and make the trains run on time, and that the primary objections to it centre on whether the "obvious" increase in efficiency that fascism offers is worth the loss of #freedom and lives. But in reality #fascist regimes like to put up a façade of strength and efficiency, even as they practice #corruption on a scale unimaginable in #democracies and even as the public interest is hollowed out by parasitical #opportunists. There is no trade-off; fascism is a #grift all the way down.
Whilst Europe is setting records in fossil-fueled climate disaster evacuations and heat levels,
Greta Thunberg was sentenced today to a fine of 1500 crowns plus being ordered to pay 1000 crowns to the "Fund for Victims of Crime" for "disobeying police order" (literal direct translation, "not-hearing-ness against the order-power" :-D) while on June 19 alongside other habitat heroes blockading the fossil-fuels harbor in Malmö, southernmost Sweden.
Greta agreed to having blockaded and stated that it should not be considered a crime, referencing the law for defense of self or others, telling the court that "I believe that we are in an emergency situation within the definition of the law. There is a crisis that threatens lives, health and property. Our life-sustaining systems are collapsing", which is all very obvious but the courts can not accept such facts.
The one non-amateur of the judges in the District Court declared that "The circumstances regarding the climate crisis are not included in the Penal Code's 'emergency'".
That judge asked if Greta had any questions, Greta replied "Many questions. But none suitable here".

@silo_bear I can not speak for Greta, but I believe Greta is still involved with the "Fridays for Future", so maybe the donation would go to https://fridaysforfuture.org/what-we-do/contact-us/#countries them,
although this here latest action was under a different name, "Take Back the Future".
I also believe Greta is OK financially, since I have seen some statement that award moneys to Greta are donated where they are more needed.
I don't know...
