There is no "WE"! CAPITALISTS are doing the destroying. Only by identifying the actual culprits can strategies & tactics be designed to overcome what they are doing to life on this planet. "We" produces nothing but guilt - a crippling, counterproductive emotion.

"We are losing biodiversity at a rate unparalleled in human history." Global wildlife populations have sunk over 60% since 1970. We are destroying ourselves and taking nature with us. Time to protect people and the planet. #ActOnClimate #climate #biodiversity #nature

@desertaquaman Given their history & current choices, world-wide, you cannot count on capitalists to transform how we grow food, harness energy & use water. Those responsibilities should be handed over to those who will transform in more ecologically restorative ways.

@hmcleaver Accountability matters, but the real task is transforming how we produce food, energy, and water. Precision agriculture, renewable energy, and efficient water management can dramatically reduce environmental pressure.

The human "species" doesn't poison its home, but CAPITALISTS do, & have been doing so since they took over the planet. If you don't identify the real culprits, how can folks mobilize & fight them?

No truly intelligent species would poison its only home for quarterly profits—then cry when the air chokes, crops fail & children gasp. Earth isn't a balance sheet. It's our only lifeboat. Wake up before regret is all that's left. 🌍💔 #ClimateReality

It ain't just China & it ain't just being done to Africa's fish stocks. It's being done by the capitalist fishing industry all over the planet. The oceans are being ravaged by them, as other capitalists have ravaged the land & polluted water and air.

This topic is well published in scientific literature. Fisheries scientists have spoken out about this in many online lectures I have attended. China is depleting Africa's fish stocks.

Yes, and the fact ONLY the stock market is reported regularly, while the condition of the bottom 30% is ignored, shows you WHO owns & controls the news media. Antidote: use every available means of communication to do the exact opposite.

WHY doesn't it know? Because capitalists own most potential sources of information about "what's happening" and are careful to keep that information hidden from most people. Antidote: dig it out anyway. Obstacle: too little time & energy to do so because too much work.

From time to time, the "poor" (workers) have gotten organized enough to force the writing & enforcement of laws to their benefit. It is those laws now under attack and being rolled back by "the rich" (capitalists) who have decided to restore power they lost.

While the torture capitalist agribusiness inflicts is horrible for those it enslaves & murders, it also deprives us of familiarity with them as individuals & the possibilities of friendship with them and the enrichment of our lives that would bring. 😡

Yeah, good idea. But if far greater numbers of them aren't hired, to reduce class size substantially & if the curriculum isn't changed, they'll still be managing the mass production of ignorant workers & citizens.

When right-wing think tanks like Cato start revealing the corruption of right-wing politicians, it's worth paying attention. However, need URL for report, not obvious on Cato website.

BREAKING: HOLY SMOKES! Bombshell report accuses Trump and Rubio of "the largest fraud in the history of the U.S. immigration system" amounting to over $1.3 billion stolen from migrants. And the details will absolutely enrage you... According to the Cato Institute, a right-wing think tank, Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and outgoing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem extracted at least $1.3 billion from migrants in fees for visa processing and other immigration services that they never intended to provide. They took the money, then took no steps to hold up their end of the agreement. The administration is taking money from immigrant hopefuls from over 90 countries despite the fact that Trump's own xenophobic travel bans have made it so that those same people are "banned from receiving immigrant visas and immigrating permanently to the United States." Trump is having it both ways: taking the money he would get for allowing immigration while simultaneously blocking that immigration. "During testimony before the US Senate, I called it the largest fraud in the history of the US immigration system. In fact, it is likely the first $1 billion fraud—a theft of processing fees for services never rendered," wrote David J. Bier for Cato. But the corruption goes so much deeper... Rubio's State Department has issued internal rules that prohibit his staff from informing the migrants in question that they have no chance of success and their money is essentially being stolen. It's a systemic graft operation. “Cubans represent the largest group of affected applicants with nearly a million affected applications at a combined cost of $543 million. The second most common was Venezuelans, with 239,000 applications at a cost of $138 million,” Cato reports. Cato estimates that over 2 million immigrant applicants were affected by the travel bans and had their money taken when there no intention on the part of the administration of rendering the services in question. "The fees came primarily from applications for work permits and filings to adjust status to permanent residence or immigrant visas—the two ways in which people receive green cards to stay permanently in the United States," writes Bier. Congress must immediately investigate this blatant, rampant fraud and begin the long, difficult process of ensuring that every single victim is paid back with interest. These people came looking for a better life in the United States and were instead fleeced for what little money they had. This is a kind of cruelty and greed that could only exist with Donald Trump as president. Please ❤️ and share to demand full refunds!

True when he said it, in a period of bipartisan acceptance of programs that had been forced on capitalism by mass struggle. However, now well-financed, that splinter has grown to be able to take over the most of the federal & many state governments.
