Gaza is one atrocity amongst so many. #gaza
Does anyone care about 8 million refugees starving in Sudan alone as a deliberate weapon against civilians? #war
“the authorities revoked permits for cross-border truck convoys, WFP reported, forcing teams to halt operations from Chad to Darfur.” #warcrimes https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/03/1147287
“many industrialized countries (have) undergone a corporate coup d’etat in slow motion, cementing into place a system of control the political philosopher, Sheldon Wolin calls “inverted totalitarianism.” Inverted totalitarianism retains the institution, symbols, iconography, and language of the old capitalist democracy but internally, corporations have seized all the levers of power to accrue ever-greater profits & political control.” #auspol
One thing most people do not understand about environmentalism is that it was never about saving the planet. The planet doesn't need us. Hell it will even thrive without us. Environmentalism is to save ourselves from extinction. Don't think that the planet owes us shit.
Before you reply, reread my post again. Don't pull me a strawman by replying with something that I didnt even mention in this post.
🎧 #Podcast: Next week, the Labor Party will hold its national conference in Brisbane.
@michellegrattan talks with @SwannyQLD, the Labor Party National President – who was treasurer + deputy prime minister in the Rudd and Gillard governments.
@theconversationau Not a word about our climate and ecological crisis. There is nothing more urgent. No other threat is greater. Was a question even asked about Labor’s continued funding of fossil fuel industries? Will the threat be discussed at the conference? #auspol
“Climate criminal Woodside gets value for money from its political donations
Via millions of donated dollars, Woodside ensures the political class stands ready to defend it when its huge role in global heating is targeted.”
@largess@australianpolitics my local MP definitely is on board with the need to do more but climate group within labour is a minority. Bill Shorten and Madeleine King are problematic. #auspol
A Russian channel reports that near Robotyne, Russian troops wanted to carry out an operation 'behind enemy lines'. Russian soldiers changed into Ukrainian uniform but were spotted by a Russian UAV who probably knew nothing about this. He mistook the Russian group for Ukrainian soldiers who were directly fired with artillery. Result, 32 deaths. After this, the Ukrainian troops also unraveled the artillery position of the Russians, which then came under fire. Result, 19 deaths.
