Blaming cows, when EVERYONE knows war is the biggest polluter of all! GET UKRAINE TO THE NEGOTIATION TABLE AND SAVE EARTH! That would at least be a start of doing something constructive! #shameonyou #speechless
"The wealthiest 1% of the world’s population were responsible for the emission of more than twice as much carbon dioxide as the poorer half of the world from 1990 to 2015, according to new research."
"Bill Gates, according to one estimate, emits almost 7,500 tonnes of CO2, mostly from flying in his private jets."
"The US military’s carbon bootprint is enormous. Like corporate supply chains, it relies upon an extensive global network of container ships, trucks and cargo planes to supply its operations with everything from bombs to humanitarian aid and hydrocarbon fuels." #justsayin'
Capitalism is killing our planet (not cows)!

online performatism has honestly gotten so out of hand imo (especially on tik tok). I’ve seen a guy stack two rocks on top of each other by a river just for the comments to scold him “what happened to leave no trace”. a girl bought an ugly sweater from goodwill to repurpose into yarn just for everyone to go “u hate fat ppl? I can’t believe you bought a plus sized shirt just to destroy it”. even just ppl picking up silly little hobbies like resin art just to get screamed at for polluting the earth. what happened to letting ppl exist and have fun? ofc u can try to practice as much sustainability in your life as possible, but in late stage capitalism it is so hard to be ethical. greenwashing, tofu comes in plastic packaging, your vegetables traveled thousands of miles, goodwill is evil etc etc. there r ppl that should be called out (millionaires billionaires corporations) but there comes a point where so called “activism” is just an excuse to be mean

Understanding Individualism vs Collectivism
Making that post about individualism and capitalism yesterday, I got some questions, that showed me the same problem as the person I was talking about had: A lot of people do actually not know what individualism and collectivism mean. So, let me try to explain.
I had kinda hoped that Abigail from Philosophy Tube might have made a video on this, but no such luck. So, I guess I have to try and explain it, even though I mostly know it from sociology, rather from the philosophic origins where it comes from.
Basically, both concepts originate with socialist philosophy in the early 19th century, which correctly identified the early capitalist society as individualist and saw the dangers coming with it. It argued that an individualist society will be harmful on a societal level, because the society at large would always focus on the self, rather than the other. Capitalist philosophy however picked this up was like: “Yeah, awesome, right?” And especially in the 20th century they really started to run with it, realizing that they could use it to make people into better consumers.
Now, individualism does not mean “a sense of self”. This is not connected to it. You will still have a sense of self in a collectivist society and nobody says that you shouldn’t have. Rather it means that the focus of everyone should be on the individual. Both themselves – but also the individual actors in society. It is as such not a surprise that the idea of “Great Man Theory” came up and started to thrive during early capitalism in the 19th century.
So, if individualism does not mean “a sense of self”, what does it mean?
I would argue there are two aspects to it. Once the aforementioned tendency to put the individual above the society and apart from it, but also to create and sell a personal philosophy that people are defined by their differences from others, rather than what they have in common. It tells people that they are all so very different from everyone else, which is a useful political tool for capitalism to fight collective actions such as unions, but also collective action for things like environmental protection. In the same vein it is used to keep people riled up against one another within society, as they focus on their differences, rather than what they have in common.
The most anarchistic professor I had at university put it very well: “If you as a worker talk to a factory worker from Bangladesh, you will find you have a lot in common. In fact you will always have more in common with this other worker rather than any billionaire there is.”
Which brings me to the other aspect that individualism is about: It sells you an individualistic dream. Which is why capitalism focuses so much on those rags to riches stories (that tend to be lies most of the time). “See, this millionaire started out his business in daddy’s garage. So you can also become a billionaire if you have the right idea.” Fellow leftist might know the saying: “You are just one bad day away from homelessness, but you will never be a billionaire.” Which is basically the counter argument to this.
See, capitalism tries to convince you, that “I am the better system, because in me you could become a billionaire,” to sell you not only on your own exploitation, but the exploitation of the masses.
And more than that, capitalism also has realized that it can use individualism to make you a better consumer. I alluded to this a bit further up. But the long and short of it is, that capitalism pushes this idea of “you are, what you consume”. Your individuality is defined by the things you spent money on. Maybe by you having the most expensive things, but also by you having maybe the weirdest things or something. You know, the “not like the other girls” girl will probably spend as much, if not more on the things that make her special, as “the other girls”.
This also goes into the whole idea of greenwashing, pinkwashing and rainbow capitalism. All this is about getting you to consume something to gain some sort of individual aspect from it. Basically, through buying the “green” stuff, you are a better consumer.
Ironically this also goes into the entire anti-shipping discourse, which basically also says that your goodness as a person is defined by the things you consume.
Capitalism is selling you your identity. Your individual identity.
But sadly this is an idea very, very deeply engrained into the heads of most who have grown up in capitalism. Because it is everywhere in media. Sure, there is some media that calls it out, but most of it actually peddles the idea of the individual.
Because this is the second aspect at the core of individualism: The myths that only individuals can change something, rather than a collective. Which is what I call out so often when I am talking about the entire punk-genre stuff.
Even though it is less punk, let me take Star Wars as an example, because it is an amazing example of this. Especially the original trilogy, in which the Rebellion battles the Empire. However, the evil Empire is not defeated because the Rebellion manages to somehow outwit or outmaneuvre the Empire. Or because maybe the collective of the workers in the Empire turn against it. Rather it gets defeated because Luke, the individual, turns Darth Vater, an individual, and defeats the Emperor, the individual. Which goes back to this idea of the “great man”. It is those unique individuals who will save the world, rather than collective action.
This idea of some individuals being the ones to save the world, rather than we – the people – as a group and ourselves, is used to keep the people pacified under capitalism. They are waiting for “a good billionaire” to solve climate change, homelessness and all the other problems for us, rather than getting active themselves. They keep telling themselves: “Hey, under capitalism everyone can be a billionaire, including myself, and also my life isn’t that bad right now. So who cares that under socialism/communism everyone could be lifted up?”
Look, folks. I am saying this lovingly. But you are not as much of an individual as you think. You are your own person, but you are not unique. In fact, if you talk to a random person on the street – no matter who they are – and you and them are not instantly judging each other for one reason or another, you will find that you have a lot more in common than you think. Capitalist individualism just taught you to not see this, because your empathy can be its undoing.

Hey, yanno how Climate Change is a real thing that is tangibly, at this moment, affecting our world?
Well it turns out, the wealthy and their investment firms have been seeing the mounting evidence that oil companies have had for decades and are slowly starting to think more long-term about their portfolios in the face of rising sea levels, more extreme weather, and the myriad of ways climate crises are affecting...well. Everything. Maybe this means they invest more into sustainability, green energy, building more resilient infrastructure, or carbon offsets. Some of it, of course, is simple corporate greenwashing, but there are those that are taking this trend and packaging it into something called ESG (Environmental, Social, and corporate Governance).
Now some people would say this is predictable, even sensible. Just the good ol’ Free Market(tm) rationally responding to market forces and a changing world.
But those people would be fools! Insidious fools! For conservative sorcerers have come out with a new cursed phrase to explain this new market trend: Woke Investing.
What makes this investing “woke?” Well, much like how conservatives normally flounder when trying to define a word they stole from black people, “Woke Investing” essentially just means any kind of capital investment that they, the fossil fuel billionaire class and their sycophants, don’t personally profit from.
One of these aforementioned sycophants is Andy Puzder, conservative commentator, fellow at The Heritage Foundation, and former fast-food CEO. He calls this kind of so-called woke investing “socialism in sheep’s clothing,” further explaining in leaked audio of a closed-door meeting:
“My father's generation's challenge was the Nazis, who, by the way, were, of course, very proud socialists[citation fucking needed]. The challenge of my generation was the communists, who were, of course, very committed socialists. The challenge of your generation is ESG investing, and it's more insidious than communism or the Nazis.”(source)
You heard it here first, folks. Not investing as much in fossil fuels is more insidious than the Third Fucking Reich.
As usual, the Heritage Foundation is putting their petro-chemical donor’s money where their mouth is. Bills are being proposed to blacklist banks that don’t invest in key state industries, such as West Virginia coal or Texas oil. Fourteen states have already passed bills to restrict ESG-type investing, with Florida Governor Ron “Bullies Kids for Wearing Masks” Desantis leading the charge.
In other words, Climate Denial has reached such a point that so-called Free Market Conservatives who claim to hate big government are trying to make it illegal for banks, investment firms, and financial institutions to make any financial decisions that acknowledges Climate Change is real.

(...) The investment of 125 of the world's richest billionaires yield an annual average of three million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions a year, more than a million times the average for someone in the bottom 90 per cent of humanity, according to a new report by non-profit group Oxfam. These super rich people have a collective USD 2.4 trillion stake in 183 companies.
Their investments in polluting industries such as fossil fuels and cement are double the average for the Standard and Poor group of 500 companies, said the report titled "Carbon Billionaires: The investment emissions of the world's richest people".
Cumulatively, these 125 billionaires fund 393 million tonnes of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) per year, which is equal to the annual carbon emissions of France, a nation of 67 million people.
To put things into perspective, each of these billionaires would have to circumnavigate the world almost 16 million times in a private jet to create the same emissions, the report said.
(...) "The major and growing responsibility of wealthy people for overall emissions is rarely discussed or considered in climate policy making. This has to change. These billionaire investors at the top of the corporate pyramid have huge responsibility for driving climate breakdown. They have escaped accountability for too long," said Amitabh Behar, CEO of Oxfam India.
(...) "They can't be allowed to hide or greenwash. We need governments to tackle this urgently by publishing emission figures for the richest people, regulating investors and corporates to slash carbon emissions and taxing wealth and polluting investments", said Nafkote Dabi, Climate Change Lead at Oxfam International.
Oxfam also estimated that a wealth tax on the world's super-rich could raise USD 1.4 trillion a year, vital resources that could help developing countries - those worst hit by the climate crisis - to adapt, address loss and damage and carry out a just transition to renewable energy. (...)
"The super-rich need to be taxed and regulated away from polluting investments that are destroying the planet. Governments must also put in place ambitious regulations and policies that compel corporations to be more accountable and transparent in reporting and radically reducing their emissions," said Behar.

The Last and Final Blog
Over my past 4 years here at the University of Guelph, the environment has been at the center of my focus. Immersed in this for 1460 days has truly shaped me into who I am as a person and defined what my ethics and values are. For every job I applied to, the question I always got asked was, Why is this something you want to pursue? My answer is always the same; By being a student who is immersed in this knowledge and knows the complexities of the environment down the molecular level, I feel that it is my moral duty to relay this information and educate others. As an interpreter, my personal ethics encourages me to help educate people on ways they can learn about their impacts and how to help. It is important to look back on the daily decisions you make to see how you are either contributing or helping the environment. Some situations can be exempted. For example, they say you should buy electric cars, however, CTV News reported that the average price for an EV vehicle has reached 73,000$ (Bickis, 2023). When the price of a car is this high, you cannot blame individuals for using their gas cars to get to work so they can put food on the table for their families. Understanding that not everyone is as privileged to live a fully eco life is one step closer to stopping the blame and a step in the right direction for education on how you can become environmentally friendly with your living status. Being taught about the imbalances in the environment as a result of human disturbances and the effects they can have is very scary. Constant exposure to this kind of content every day can seriously impact your thoughts and beliefs about life and the world. In my case, it became very motivating. It drives me to want to help educate others and contribute to organizations that are focusing on the preservation and conservation of our earth. 
This course has been a very pivotal experience for me. Although I love taking courses about the environment which includes biology and chemistry, this course forced me to look beyond just these numbers and the analytical lens. It forced me to think more intuitively regarding interpretation and environmental science. Understanding the needs of our earth and how much we impact it starts with admitting to yourself that there is a problem whether created by you or someone else, and that it needs to be addressed. Today, there has been lots of greenwashing which tends to turn people away from wanting to advocate for the Earth. There is such a divide between the general public knowledge and students/scientists. I can't tell you how many people have said to me “Oh, so you want to save the Turtles” when I told them I was in environmental science. This statement right here goes to show the lack of understanding between preservation and protecting the planet. Environmental science falls under a huge umbrella. It encompasses so much that goes beyond just implementing reusable or compostable straws. 
When I have conversations with people who are out of touch with reality, I feel nothing but sad for them. That they are not as fortunate to know what I know or that their motivations might be driven by something else. But I cannot blame them, knowledge is power but it's also money. I believe it is my right as someone who holds this kind of knowledge, to help people understand and become engaged and involved with the environment. However, I do also believe as people of this earth, it affects us all, and doesn't matter what your social status, race, gender, etc. is, it is something we should all be working towards understanding. Let's just put it this way, a hurricane doesn't care if you're a billionaire with a nice house. Beck et al. (2018) state that there are immense educational benefits associated with acquiring knowledge that can result in “an enjoyable and enriching experience” encouraging a more meaningful relationship with the topic of interest. It doesn’t matter who you are, you will be affected directly or indirectly and therefore I believe we all have an innate calling to preserve and protect the earth not only for us but for the generations to come.
Nature has been a huge component of my life whether it was in the classroom or my own personal outlet. I was taught from a very young age to appreciate nature in all its glory. Over the years I have become increasingly empathetic towards the environment. When I read about things in the news I can’t feel anything but sad. It's so disheartening seeing our earth become hurt and have to constantly rebuild itself. I constantly ask myself when. When will we learn? How long does it take for us to make a change? What brutal disasters need to keep happening for us to stop? Going back to first-year environmental science, we talked about nature having intrinsic value and I couldn’t agree with this statement more. Just like we learned in this course, even if we do not gain any materialistic value from nature and it does not directly or indirectly benefit us, it still has a purpose and is still valuable on its own (Rea & Munns., 2017). Many people are motivated based on economic return and unfortunately, the environment is at the centre of those decisions. The understanding of intrinsic value is based on an ecocentric standpoint which is developed from having a serious concern for the environment, something many people lack (Rea & Munns., 2017). This concern can come from upbringing and experience that shape how one views the world. For people who are struggling to put food on the table, the state of the environment is not typically their biggest problem. Effective interpretation as described by Beck et al., (2018) involves building new knowledge, values, and beliefs. Being open-minded to adopting new concepts can truly work wonders.
Finally, I feel it's my responsibility as an interpreter to educate. Social media is a very powerful tool in today's age and being able to raise awareness about situations regarding climate issues is a great way to expose the general public. I just hope we can create a sense of unity when it comes to caring for our planet and that it gets the attention it deserves because we only have 1, but 1 is enough if we do it right! 
Thanks, everyone for a great semester I enjoyed reading all your blogs!

I guess I’m still evaluating to see if it is being a psy op or just someone with different way of approaching things who got money as an heir
https://archive.ph/Yy5h3
I don’t think the painting ones were good ideas either. People get weird about even well protected art. i mean if a woman destroyed a disrespectfully done rape scene painting by a man I’d side with her but I would know right away it was not going to be effective activism for the most part.
There is good civil disobedience including vandalism though… it’s all about time place method and target. Check out “the Fox”. He dumped the actual pollution from a river into the corporate office of the corporation that was primarily responsible https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_F._Phillips
Aileen Getty's vanity charity projects do not pass the vibe check at all. It is absolutely in her best interest to make climate protesters look crazy and fringe. She does not want the climate movement to be mainstream. She wants it to be a small special interest group that she can use to boost her own image. Sunflower soup is greenwashing propaganda for a billionaire oil heiress.
Aileen herself causes tremendous climate damage daily. She could wake up tomorrow and decide to not do that. She could divest from climate destruction industries like oil and crypto currency. Instead, she pays people to throw soup at things.
She's making a ton of money off of the destruction of the planet. Now she wants to make more money by selling ineffective solutions to problems she's responsible for. That's business 101.
Also, it's better for Aileen if no one is protesting except for the people paid by billionaires. Grassroots projects compete with her billionaire "charity" gimmicks. So alienating climate sympathizers from grassroots climate activism is a win for her.
Capitalists and billionaires will never give up their Earth-destroying lifestyles and ideals. Collaborating with them will never save the Earth. They only use the word "climate" for greenwashing and filling corporate "social responsibility" quotas. These are not our allies. We should be focused on binding them up in carbon taxes and lawsuits.

Climate philanthropy is controversial for a number of reasons. Billionaires, who overwhelmingly lead the world in per capita emissions, may donate to greenwash themselves or their company’s image. Amazon, for instance, emitted 51.17 million metric tonnes of CO2 in 2020, a 15% increase from 2018 levels and the equivalent of running 13 coal burning power plants in a year, but stock value rose nonetheless when the company announced a net-zero pledge in 2021.

#greenwashing the destruction of Mother Earth!
Løp og kjøp! Stock in Norwegian prestine nature on indigenous lands to feed the wealthy at a bargain price! 🤬🤬🤬
"This is a Sami cultural landscape with outlying areas, migration routes and hiking trails between Tanadalen and Laksefjorden. This is Norway's second largest uninvaded natural area and Finnmarksvidda at its best – with rivers and water, and the beautiful gaiss, which with their snow-capped peaks are displayed from afar, and of course also on the Finnish side." - And, not to forget Rásttigáisá, a holy mountain for the Sami people, the Indigenous of the Norway.

Has anyone else had a big hooker bug die off? Everytime @nasa shoots a rocket I lose about half a cup of bio-material. Yesterday gold dust was spouting out of me like a mica beach. I look like a California river gold rush after those rocket launches. Is there anyway we can cure sex Addictions with hookers? I just say no. My understanding is @donaldtrump will be arrested for spreading Syphalis in Fairfield, Iowa with Vivek hookers and China will be charged as well as all the secret Service men. Theyre scared. My brother, x and Elon will likely be complicit as his tech PR #RewindAI slaves. Dr. Sunil Rawal was kidnapped for creation of dumb memes. No one liked the @davidlynch terrorism of our artists. Maharishi made a mistake leaving tm.org to a man that's essentially bought out by hookers 30+ years younger than him. They're trying to force this old man model on the rest of us! There's a reason why Dr. Jill Biden is hooking for a new husband. That nanny model- like Alexandria Martinex Devasier Taft - that seduces Billionaires for step daddy judges and attys is out! We found the #Epstein of our family. My uncle atty Jim Mahoney likely raped my brother and his eldest son James. James joined the army and when my mother referred him to tm.org Deborah Ponneman of dress for Success in Chicago- did a bait abd switch- and taught him Art Of Living. That's the hookers plagiarized technique that doesn't work! There's no blessings of the Gurus or lineage. @joshradnor sintered up with a pseudo Guru and has had worst luck! I told him I wouldn't marry him unless he fixed his meditation practice abd educated Jews about violence of circumcision. Josh failed to do this and was too squeamish to assist us in court other than a song. I really think he was trying to hook me for his boss Joe Sachs of ER. Gross Jewish attys felt their @himym-life-lessons story line was more important than my kids? Please remove me from @himymthings-blog hit list! We would never marry any man that was greenwashing baby factories and pedophilia through poisoning moms! Sad that Josh is in a cinservatirship from a Spin Dr. It's not his fault. Likely his father raped him and colleagues as they're terrorising @elonmuskfans and celebrity friends with prostitution scam. Please don't let your kids or wives on porn x while they're pimping globe. @cobie-smulders-sanctuary Hopefully @elonmuskfans will fix it today. In meantime could you raise $500t for our mommy charity for the murders in political wars since? Thankyou Mamma Goddesses! We need to rise since our pilots are raped blind. Someone's gotta fly. Moms need own spaceships and 99% of @nasa budget for our success. Astronauts dicks fell off and Stirling Men's group lost their dicks. War is over! Hallelujah! Can we get our kids now?

Greenwash & Eco-Fascism
Climate change is real, but the WEF billionaire-run, corporate-fascist oligarchy is not the saviour of humanity or the Earth – they are the principle devourers of both. We need to be perfectly clear on that. We do need a Green New Deal, but one that promotes, defends and strengthens freedom, democracy, and vibrant, ecologically sound, robust economies and employment, rather than destroying all…

On this edition of Your Call, investigative climate journalist Geoff Dembicki joins us for part two of our conversation about his new book, The Petroleum Papers: Inside the Far Right Conspiracy to Cover Up Climate Change.
Using hundreds of confidential industry documents, he documents how US oil companies have ignored warnings about climate devastation since as early as 1959. A recent year-long Democratic-led congressional investigation reveals how big oil companies have misled the public about climate change with a widespread campaign of greenwashing.
We'll also discuss how efforts to conceal the climate crisis have impacted recent negotiations at the COP27 UN climate conference, where negotiators failed to reach an agreement to phase out fossil fuels or limit temperature increases to 1.5 °C.
