matrixmannYou know what’s going to be the biggest factor getting in the way of soothing the extent that climate change will have on this blue sphere here?
The international community outside of the Western countries gives a fuck about so-called “green technologies”. They care more about their own development, which had been kept down for centuries by the plundering of the dominant European and North American countries. And that means, cheap energy accessible to the biggest mass of people and local industries carries more importance than making it as exclusive as it can get through applying complex and expensive technologies in the chain, which the bigger parts of the population in the first world countries are able to afford (in whatever way possible to individuals).
The mindset of the Western world and what they think of as “problems” is so far away from those of the rest of the world - literally elevated thousands of kilometers above the ground, figuratively.
So are many other issues such as that of a cultural nature, for example.
The rest of the world literally doesn’t care about the gender-fantasies of twenty-somethings in the US or Europe and their dreams of deconstructing the biological base of the two sexes. Or about rainbow flags, pride months and loudly celebrating LGBT minority rights like they would be a cure against HIV and cancer altogether (rights which quite a chunk of areas in the world don’t have anyway).
There are way more urgent problems to them than such boredom- and living-in-security-driven ergotherapy of emphasizing things that revolve around the aspect of the anthropocentric worldview to overestimate the social ongoings between humans in a society.
To the rest of the world, the classic aspects of the mindset of the anthropocentric worldview are important: Where do humans get a space to live, a roof over their head, food and water for humans, jobs to earn money and chances to procreate - as well as chances to feed that offspring and raise it into an adult.
If you want to get the rest of the world into the same boat as the culturally loony Western part of the planet, then you first rather need to get them to abandon their part of the anthropocentric worldview, in which all natural resources of the planet exist just to serve and be consumed primarily by humans. - Including your own focus where human business and social interaction still also overshadows everything, beside you talking about “wanting to save the world” and “protecting the environment” (inconsequently).

Date: 12 August 2022 01:05 am (UTC)By the way - if you always keep running away, war follows you wherever you try to hide...”
Why do you call her woman and not mother?
You sound very modern to take in account the nowadays circumstances but believe me the brave soldiers which had been on a real and unfair war, as the Ukrainian civil war is right now, will do all is possible to get away and far away from it. It is not a matter of existence of legs or arms it is rather the matter of existence of brain and a wish to live…
Two hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians professional regular forces soldiers had gone already, thousands of foreign mercenaries had been killed for nothing by our rockets, so now Ukrainian criminal illegal government is seizing youngsters on the streets between day light to send them without any education or training to a front line just to get little more time to steal more weaponry and to sell it away…
Again, don’t get me wrong I like patriotism but in this specifically case – patriotism is similar to idiotism when the son of former Ukrainian president Porosenko is at UK, when now president Zelenskiy is lying everyday at Internet with drug swollen face, when there is no truth behind but USA which is putting your land on fire and declaring it openly that it want this war to the last Ukrainians… I don’t know, I wouldn’t fight for this regime if I would be Ukrainians... And they also are not wanting to fight and storming boarders paying thousands of dollars to cross to EU and what is EU declaring? It is ready to throw Ukrainians back to Ukraine to fight against Putin…
So, yes, now you are at home but again things change and as you mentioned ww2 times things change and change fast…
What is for me when yes, I am not going to flee anyway and will wait for ww3 here in central Russia, I am making little preparations but of course how could you to prepare for possible nuclear war – it is not possible. And anyway, we Russians have really not many opportunities – now Europe declares that it will sent back all Russians after Europe will steal all their money, to let them fight against Putin! ))) So, if it is my destiny to die on future war – okey, I am old enough to not bother much and again, we don’t know what is going to happens next – you could fear getting to a war all your life and will get into some natural disaster – who cares… )))
Yes, I had have heard about your social system is very slavery from my father’s Jewish couple which had fled to Germany and now they are living nearly as bums. They had sold at Russia several flats, site with house, several cars, they had left relatives… for what, for demand to clean the streets at their age or you will get no money? His old wife was proudly telling us how she is wearing the clothes and taking them back to shops for free! For free! ))) Russia has made such a big distance from what it was at 90-ies to what it is now, so when I look on these people, no matter where they are living at USA or at Europe I am sincere sad for them but what can we do, life is life?

Date: 12 August 2022 10:35 pm (UTC)And... just to be clear here: I'm not the one who literally wants to rush into a fight. I act on defense.
I also think strategically - sounding out probabilities for which possible outcome, thinking about ways how to deal with a difficult situation that seems like "game over".
Still even though, I'm no illusionistic about that - if you're part of a minority that the "dogs" come for to tear you apart, first, don't expect it to matter to anyone, and second, resulting from that, it'll only be you who harbors an interest in the continuity of your existence.
So that might make it necessary to take up arms in order to survive.
...Maybe I'm dumb in this viewpoint, I don't know.
At least I'm not a fan of what a lot of people always do - run away to the end of the world and the force that drives you away every time never gets stopped.
Someone also has to do that job.
