1/7 FALLING APART: The Joseph Rowntree Foundation recently reported around 3.8 million people experienced destitution in the UK in 2022. There is plenty of money to alleviate this, but the problem is that it’s being hoarded by the very rich ⬇️ 🧵 #Max12to1

Just Stop Oil Question: If so many low-follower, football or bitcoin accounts are so *furious* with JSO why don'y they just block JSO? Genuinely interested.

Yip Bloody Yip You should see Facebook. 10,000 comments from accounts with no friends or followers in the last 60 days. And that's not the total, that's just the number at which Facebook stops counting. We have oil and gas lobbyists very rattled.

This is the defining event of our time. We are watching the genocide of an imprisoned population of refugees in real time. By a brutal apartheid state which has the full backing of the US, UK and EU. There is no way back from this. And there shouldn't be.

Extreme wealth: if any other condition generated these symptoms, we would call it a mental illness. My column about why certain very rich people don't care about the living planet, or even, in some cases, their own children. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

An excellent article from George, which echoes what I have been saying for decades. In this thread, I want to explain the major way, the neoliberal doctrine, has totally corrupted our society, and created a demographic apart from the rest of society, quite deliberately. 1/🧵

A D Mitchell Theranello 💙 Kevin Anderson The Conversation Climate Uncensored Unwise to downplay influence of lobbying (e.g. Atlas Network), vested interests & media manipulation. Agree we should do our thing - highlighting how we're NOT all in it together, most of us are getting shafted! Not a plea to the elite to reform, but a wedge to drive resistance.

Henk Piening 🌍🚲🌈[email protected] Luke Smith The Conversation Climate Uncensored Agree - yet we’re all rationed by our salaries, with the ration for some many thousands of times greater than for others. The trick of those receiving such huge rations is to convince everyone that we would all be worse off if we did explicitly consider how best to ration.

Bit of healthy recycling: With #COP28📷 chaired by an Oil CEO in a petrostate keen to increase global oil & gas demand, here are some numbers on a Paris-compliant phase out of fossil fuel production: pure.manchester.ac.uk/ws/portalfiles… Summary: priceofoil.org/2022/03/22/new… Headlines attached:

The United Kingdom of Inequality. Compare & contrast: A Chancellor of the Exchequer holding a U.S. Green Card able to bring his Indian wife into the UK as a non-dom so avoiding millions in tax. A British nurse, teacher, junior doctor, care-worker who can't marry a foreigner.

Remember, every time a politician champions “growth” they’re telling you that they are owned by corporate interests &/or they lack the imagination or courage to think beyond a system that is decimating our life support systems & will kill a billion people over the coming decades.

If we don’t want a planet on fire, the first thing those of us with the good fortune to live in functioning democracies need to do is to stop voting in governments that refuse to tackle the climate crisis. If we do not do that most basic thing we won’t accomplish anything.

Rishi Sunak Unelected oligarchs like you have infiltrated politics to subvert democracy and abolish the welfare state. Private governance in your 74 SEZs and 12 Freeports is not feasible or welcome, you have no mandate to hand over Britain’s governance to multinationals.

Les Knight @postcarbonsteve Overshoot is about consumption. We don't have an overpopulation of humans. We have too many humans overconsuming.

Excellent interview and discussion. Other climate journos would do well to take note. Well done Rachel Donald for striking a balance between holding your guest to account & keeping it respectful 👏

My letter in today's Financial Times. Taking the fact they ran #postgrowth letter at all, & at complete length I sent, as a positive sign of minds opening, at least a little Philippe Lamberts Jason Hickel Kate Raworth Tim Jackson Dr. Steve Keen @timparrique

Spot on. Excellent article. "There is no invisible hand of fate and our destinies are governed by the visible hand of politics and institutions of government. People have the power to secure emancipatory change. We are many, they are few."
