By May 27, Switzerland had already consumed its 2024 share of resources that the planet is able to regenerate. This date marked its annual Overshoot Day, meaning if every person on the planet lived as the Swiss did this year, humanity would need 2.5 Earths to survive long-term...To protect the planet, the young Greens submitted the popular initiative“For a responsible economy that respects planetary boundaries”. It will be voted on 9th February 2025.

So, in summary:

The Right sees issues and doesn't address them.

The Left sees issues and root cause and doesn't really address either.

Radicals see issues and root causes, but understands that the problem is the system. Also kind of powerless to address any of it.

And of course the right--- especially the authoritarian right--- is all, "People, we see the social ills and are here to save you from them."

And then they invent a bunch of fake social ills and say THOSE are the ones that are the issue. They do elaborate kabuki theater of slaying their invented monsters, all while actively and gleefully bolstering (and often profiting from!) every single root cause of actual social issues.

I do wonder if 20th century terms like fascist and Nazi are still fit for purpose or if we are just having a collective crisis of imagination.

I think my issue with liberals is that they often see (and focus on!) the root cause, but are MARRIED to maintaining current social order. So they don't do much to address symptom OR underlying ailment.

So I'm wondering how the anti-authoritarian Left can raise its profile such that there are voices saying, "Yes, we SEE that this situation is not good. However, we need to do surgery here, not just apply a bandaid."

And as we alleviate symptoms and tackle the root cause, we need to make sure the 'surgeon' isn't the same assailant that inflicted the wound. Oh, oh, and, also let people know that a critical part of that 'surgery' is SMASHING the current social order.

There is a persistent narrative in the US that the Leftists are the ones who turn a "blind eye" to things that are "obvious social ills", rather than that Leftists are people who see those "obvious social ills" as symptomatic of deeper infrastructural issues that need to be extruded at the root rather than just whack-a-moled.

I do agree the institutional Left's game, all too often, is to dispute that said social ills are even social ills at all (the "don't believe your lying eyes" approach).

Projects that emphasize "convincing" are counterinsurgent.

I'd rather meet people where they are, tapping into anger and frustration at their own very real realization of the contradictions and inadequacies of the existing system.

Every time a white woman calls a white man with right wing political aspirations a predator, another senate confirmation gets its wings.

Please tell these people to stop "telling their story". It is NOT HELPING.

Just a reminder that ALL of Israel is a settlement. It's not just the area now known as Palestine that has been encroached upon. Israel is ALL STOLEN LAND.

I hope people realize DEI was only ever really a handful of crumbs and a ball of lint from someone's jeans pocket of their giveaway pile.
