Yes, it starts with civilization in general. But Christian imperialism sure sent it into overdrive.
With the advent of agriculture and domestication of animals, humans began to believe that they hold dominion over nature. Perhaps that was inevitable. But it’s that worldview that has us hurling down a path of irreversible climate change that may lead to our (and others) extinction.
Rare to come across someone who has an understanding of the indigineous / the original way that our ancestors saw our relationship with life on Earth.
I’m not at all shocked that a lot of men now feel lost under the dominant world view. Since the industrial revolution, masculinity has become defined as taking more than you need at a cost that your descendants will need to pay (through harm that you bring to the Earth). That type of imbalance will inevitably promote a lack of purpose.
Almost didn’t recognize this attire related satire.
Reminds me of all the famines the British caused in India. If there ever was a #1 of all time in stealing food it has to be them.
I’m dumb, password is passcode in this case. Just don’t include any letters lol.

Under ‘Nationality’ then ‘Minor Ethnic’, whites make up 7.3% of the population.
Some three-quarters of privately-owned farmland is still in the hands of whites, who make up less than 8% of the population, while 4% is owned by Black South Africans who make up 80%.
White folk make up 7.3% of the population in South Africa but own 75% of the land.
In precapitalist preindustrial (mercantilist) colonial times, monetary value was derived directly from the land. This was widely accepted by humans as the standard for millennia.
Essentially, a bunch of settlers showed up and openly displayed their inhumanity by stealing from locals who welcomed them. You know, the entire founding principle of the modern Western world.
Colonial legacy has led to an imbalance which is the direct opposite of what these comments imply.
This is what happens when you take 18 year olds as conscripts.
Why on earth did they think it was a good idea to be the face of this story?
Society is truly in dire straits if two bankers can make that much while ordinary people struggle.
We need value to actually represent meaningful contributions to humanity. Not further and further abstractions of the financialization of a broken system.
Make sure to unsubscribe from any streaming services including and especially Netflix.
Subjective value in our market system is determined by demand. If no one wants their shitty media, then it has little to no value and they must convince us that it does.
A mass exodus from American devices, apps, and services in general would have a significant impact.
Services rarely get mentioned by the Trump admin because the US has a massive service trade surplus with the world.
Think about every Visa transaction where they collect a 1.5% processing fee, or 30% off of an app store sale or Uber eats order.
Being the first to market and then using monetary and legal weight to secure their position as a middle man, collecting a tithe as everyone passes ‘GO’, has been their modus operandi for decades now.
If the rest of the world opts out as a collective, first by loosening our adherence to their IP laws, they would have no choice but to listen.
Ensure it is illegal to ask about pregnancy.
Maternity leave that is at least 12 months.
These are both important because women are assumed to be ‘less productive’ due to childbirth and are therefore given less opportunity. Which amounts to a betrayal of future generations since children should be able to bond with mothers (and vice versa) during the first year of life without it affecting mom’s oppurtunities. Supporting women is our investment in the future
Men need to spend time with women and children to become more balanced individuals who prioritize empathy and inclusiveness. Many men would also benefit from having greater exposure to and respect for nature also.
Don’t promote gender neutrality blindly. Too many institutions aim for 50/50 representation without giving women the tools they need to succeed, which emboldens those that wish to claim women are less capable. Support needs to be provided from the ground up to balance for historical injustices.
Probably the most obvious but… Just listen to women. Men tend to not listen to or respect women when they are in that hypercompetitive mode driven by testosterone imbalance. Too many (especially Western) men worship at the alter of logic and reason while ignoring emotional intelligence or right brain development in general, at the expense of women and others.
Patriarchy fails both men and women in its own unique way so development on both sides is needed to create a more inclusive world.
I’m sure a review credit card purchases will reveal a shawarma purchase which will soon be labelled antisemitic, especially of you order extra picked turnips with a side of Israeli pager bomb.
Trump and Netanyahu have already stated the attack was anti Semitic.
Its because men were targeted in the civilian attack by LoK in Pahalgam.
Fascism is reality distorting.
I don’t blame the vegetables for this. This is all ghee’s doing.
I will say, at least they didn’t make him jacked like the Trump imagery.
While it is a subset of imperialism, colonialism and the extractionary systems it created in the global south in order to bankroll the industrial revolution is deserving of a special shout out.
