Really tiny thing about this video: LatinX is not really an appropriate word to use. "Latinos" is correct. It is just weird having white people project their culture insecurities into a different language and culture. The masculine/feminine aspect of the language is not how it would be viewed from English. Its hard to explain because the concept doesn't really exist in English. Its like wanting to gender neutral the concept of male and female electric or piping connectors. The male end of a powercord is not actually inherently masculine, it's just called that for nomenclature and the fact it inserts into something lol
And today’s rightwing is the reach of plutocracy. they are subject to a malignant idea we are a threat to civilization. policy that kills off a nation is no biggie to them. they are not coherent ua-cam.com/video/igUPihr_t5Y/v-deo.html
Don't forget about how the USA literally let Japan whitewash their history just so they could have a capitalist nation in Asia. They were so bad the Nazis told them to chill. And now the Ultra-Nationalist movements there are gaining steam, even being supported by Shinzo Abe. I'm half Chinese (although that side lives in Taiwan), and my parent from that side (and their mother) still hates Japan for what they did. Japan is also notable for .... whaling in direct violation of international law iirc. They aren't as bad on the fossil fuel fronts as the west iirc, and they are stewards of nuclear responsibility. Sorry for being so long, I just felt that it was important.
That's like saying they never teach you Cuba, Russia, Belarus, Turkmenistan, ECT were all communist dictatorships which lead to political and economical instability causing mass famine, starvation, death, poverty, lower life expectancy ECT.
@@aardappelmethoed1151 Generally speaking, just assume USA. Specifically speaking, it is both Political Parties within the USA and their billionaire donors.
Unfortunately, I have been worrying about this for years. As soon as people begin to actually suffer from Global Warming, whether deadly heat waves, or failed harvests, they will turn toward fascism. Europe almost fell due to the financial crisis and there was enough food for everyone. The other side of the coin, is that there will be ten times the number of refugees and asylum seekers at the borders. If we could barely survive Syria, when Bangladesh is submerged... I also agree with your solution. To address the powerless rage of the white working class, we need strong unions. This gives the working man, a sense of strength and the struggle is against the real enemy.
Unions are not the answer, at best they're a small part of an international or post-national anti-imperialist/anti-capitalist revolution, but in the imperial core, they function more to maintain capitalism and enable labor aristocracy and unequal exchange than anything progressive or actually anti-capitalist. Also, simply collectivizing labor is no fix in itself because degrowth and redistribution are the real solutions at the moment.
@Philip M I misread "onions are not... 😆 " But indeed, in our Netherlands, the unions cooperated in the "consultation model" to make deals to trade off limited salary rise for job security, leading to a steady economic growth for 30+ years (with the odd dip). Arthur Berman, who's been charting oil production and consumption for over 30 years, also mapped the consecutive 27 COP climate conferences against agreements and the degree in which countries kept their promises. Zero improvement in 30 years. Berman still is convinced not climate policies, but production constraints will bring down oil production on mid term - after which energy companies may return to coal. Bit pessimistic, that outlook, but so far the low rate of success of climate policy doesn't bode well - nort does a right wing swing of voters following rising prices and increasing migration / refugee numbers
@@philipm3173 The problem there is the Reagan administration essentially crippled/invalidated *small* unions, forcing what was left to become as big as one of the corporations themselves.
Im from Portugal, and here the far right is quite aware of the climate change however, as in all capitalist states they tend to value econmic growth more than climate action. The biggest problem the next 5 generations will have to face is climate changes, wether you like it or not....
Climate change will cause some major adjustment to the global population. Eventually Global famine and Global Water scarcity will cost millions and millions and millions of humans to die or migrate North out of the hot States or hot regions of the planet it is becoming a very deadly during the peak summer months of the northern hemisphere in particular down by the equator. I've seen sea surface temperatures between the Philippines and Vietnam of ninety-one degrees Fahrenheit that's going to cause a global food shortage as Seafood becomes more scarce due to the increasing temperatures 50% of all the world's Coral have died off due to heat waves
Sincere question… Do you think, as a country that has gone through fascism, that the far right have a loud voice that could have the same degree of persuasion; or is there a distaste for it? Thanks ❤
@@thefirm4606, persuation in what sense? To try and push for the climate action? And our fascism was not that close to Italy's fascism or Spain's dictatorial regime, for example. However the far right party does enjoy that line of thought. So far, what has kept the party alive is its leader, who is very intelligent, very strategic and very sensible. When he goes away the party will eventually die out...
@@thetechnicanwithaheart1682, yes! This is very true. But again, people like to find excuses not to work towards change, like saying that they like to live in the present, volcanoes are the guilty ones and so on... It is unfortunate that because of corporate greed we wont be able to actually find a middle ground between living standards and sustainability. PROUT might be a way out though...
This explains something that has been going on in Norway for a while now; obviously wind turbines are presented as a good thing, and that "everyone who is against them simply don't care about climate change", but then they are placed on lands used by Sámi people keeping reindeer or in areas known to have rare birds that get killed by the wind turbines. (There are other issues as well, but I don't know how to explain them in English).
My family was removed from Sweden to make a bird sanctuary on Getteron Island. I'm just beginning to understand that we went to the new world for being a little too Lappish. The removal is permanent. No return to Sweden at all.
@@patricialongo5870 Getterön is a tiny nature reserve in the south west of Sweden and has nothing to do with anything Sámi/Lappish. And no, you are not expelled from Sweden just because you cannot live on these 53 hectares of land.
...As a Slav. I was taught to hunt by my father. *We're immigrants to North America* but in my life and in my family's history we were taught by the Native Chippewa people on ways to hunt and survive. I had an uncle to killed rebel traitors in the u.s. civil war. Yes we're pale and the forests are sacred to my family but I can't help but to think this world is a great and beautiful place for ALL people. My family was shown ways to hunt by the Natives of North America. I'm willing to show an Arab Muslim or a Black person what I know about the forests. Why not? I don't own the forest. It's for eveyone and those of us who learn and respect the wild thrive in it. Anyone who claims the world is for only one race or only one bloodline is a liar.
This is what the world should be. I wish we could just get rid of the idea of nationalities and just share the earth together in a sustainable way so that the human race could continue to strive. We should be very pro science and have one ideology which is about a better future. We can attain the better future through science and sustainable economy.
Look at how much blacks and browns hate whites. When polled, over half of the blacks expressed a strong dislike of whites. You might want to help the blacks and browns but they have no such thought for you
The world minority can not play host to the world majorities. This is why borders are good and the best thing to do is trade, but don't dump your castoffs on any country.
@@Ugg_Son_Of_Thogg it has never worked that way and will never work that way, the collective human race is a myth, people are different from each other, on average. Have blacks in africa managed to hold together the societies that whites built for them, for example? You cannot expect responsibility and cooperation from other peoples and for them to equally contribute and perform at the same level in societies, systems and ideas devised by europeans for europeans.
I fear that the failings of our broken neoliberal system that prioritises the interests of the wealthy will keep pushing more and more towards the far right, thinking this system is socialist because of a few social policies and a large authoritarian state. Only going to increase as continued climate instability increases the numbers of refugees too. Weeds blossoming through cracks in the pavement give me hope though. I need to believe that life will flourish after we're gone and sent the world into a rapid destabilisation event.
I know.. it terrifies me but I don't know how to stop it how can we mobilize to break this suicidal terror. How can we find and organize groups to oppose there brand of evil.
It is interesting that you mention "broken neoliberal system" since as a Halfbreed here in Portland Oregon I have had altercations with both the Prius Liberals and MAGA Pickup Truck Owners. Both have made it clear that I am not welcome here: The MAGA types usually use the Sp-word and tell me to "Deport yourself" which is twisted since I am of European, First Nations and Native American Ancestry. How exactly can I deport myself to the flooded plains of Beringa??? The Prius Pseudo Liberals had a cow about my 84 Audi 4000 Quattro [a compact car] and now that I had to buy a car that had a softer ride, due to an assault by a neighbor who knew I had a broken back,. As both the Audi Quattro and Mustang GT had install kits available for Recarro seats so I could have Recarro's Orthopedic seats installed. So I am now hearing about how I am "killing the environment", when 20 to 25 mpg is really good fuel economy for an Accessible Vehicle. The crazy part is that I used to use Portland's Mass Transit more than I drove. Unfortunately Trimet Buses ride too harshly for the compression injury of my back. As Trimet over-inflates the tires on their buses to increase the fuel economy by 8% making them ride like a cement truck or like a Prius.... So my take is that we just have increasing intolerance since it shouldn't matter that I live here since some of my ancestors have been in North America for at least 15000 years. Nor should it matter if people from Latin America move here since they have ancestors who have been in the Americas for at least 15000 years. And it really shouldn't matter that I drive an accessible car less than 5000 miles a year...
Sidenote, Latin people largely don't use the term "Latinx". It's time for the left to stop using it. The people we're using it for, aren't asking for it.
I am so very thankful we have content like _Our Changing Climate_ and _Second Thought_ to provide an honest and truthful perspective and clear eyed education of the citizenry and electorate. You guys are valuable voices in this dangrous world.
consider watching socialism 4 all too. they have a wide array of discussion and content about fascism as well as capitalism being in crisis. also consider watching politsturm for an in=depth analysis of political economic trends in capitalism and socialism.
@@marcomoreno6748 Good for you, don't let them force their ideology on you. The Left love to be oppressed on everybody's behalf whether you like it or not. Cheers.
I'll point out just one thing, if it's possible stop using the term Latinx, people from Latinoamerica are proud of being called Latinos, because it means born or from Latinoamerica. Latinx is not a terminology that we used for us, latinoamerican people. That term is a label used by people or parties in the USA that don't represent us. Just call us Latinos. BTW I love your videos, keep with the great content.
Latin x was a term created by lbqt latino. Globalist mainstream media and Democrats intentionally use latin x as part of destroying old customs, culture, ideas and habits for their globalist great reset. If you appreciate traditions rather than arbitrary identity politics labels you're a conservative. Congratulations
To be honest about the overpopulation issue, it's the people using the most resources at the most intensive level (wealthy individuals and economies) that are doing the most damage to the environment by having kids who also consume lots of resources , not poor people.
Exactly. Kris Jenner, a wealthy woman, had 6 kids. This early kids fly private jets, etc. Her and her children use more resources than tens of poor people in the Global South.
yeah. they even say something about how selfish they are for wanting enough kids to ensure at least one to survive to adulthood. some people even want the rich countries to stop selling them medicines so more of those kids would die. explaining them that they are having a lot of children because those children are dieing is futile. as is explaining that the Africa is not overpopulated. they don't lack food. they lack roads by which the food would be sent and sold from the areas where the harvest was good to the ones where it was very bad. roads, railways and other types of infrastructure are the things that have proven themselves as the best ways of helping the third world countries. that is probably the reason why the "humanitarian" agencies are almost never building them. they are rather doing the things the poor are completely capable of doing themselves without outside help instead. that is not help. that is neocolonialism.
You fail to consider time and circumstances. The poor in the rich countries are the worst polluters and most damaging. The poor in the world causing overpopulation will become a plague on the earth in the near future.
@@lightdark00 The rich from the rich countries are the worst. Next are the rich from the poor countries. There is no overpopulation. It is a myth. Also, the birthrates are plummeting. Everywhere. Population of the world is not growing from the babies being born anymore. It is now growing because they are not dieing in such a large numbers anymore. Majority of people live in the countries with below replacement fertility. World is currently at the replacement level fertility. In just a few years it will be bellow. Why are you so scared of the poor? Have they "stolen your job" or something?
The key point here is that that the mindset that created the problem will not help solve it, or even mitigate it. And that, as mentioned here, fascists would rather see the world go up in flames than share or cooperate or even give an inch of their worldly power, so there’s that….
Your fears are justified because methods of power application has evolved greatly and now we are seeing a mantra of "flaw acceptance" being promoted as a means of stopping anyone wishing to create change by branding them as ignorant idealists pursuing utopianism. There is nothing wrong with wishing for things to change for the better and trying to do so. But letting problems slide by calling them normal is not good. I fear that we might be taking a step towards a new evil form of "enlightenment" where morals will be deemed as weakness and power abuse for selfishness will become the new "good."
yeah the more self-made problems that humanity imposes on itself constantly throughout history makes me believe that we needed a few more hundred-thousand years of social evolution before settling down in societies.
Excellent video, but please, dont say latinx ever again, im from latin america and that is an adjetive based on nothern imperialism and submission of the other minorities.
I'm so fed up with that term. We are proud of being called Latinos, and Latinx bs is just another way to label us and put us in the same box, being that Latinos are a group of different traditions and folklore we are more than just a word or label.
@@gianluccamatteo3402 Its a western invention made mostly for the promotion of certain ideologies, targeted for younger generations, of the children of latin inmigrants. Bc a latino born and raised in latin america will never accept that term, but one indoctrinated by the massive propaganda in the american education system will accept it.
This topic / issue is new to me. It's unbelievable that a small section of society actually gets a kick out of making profit from disasters, critical resource scarcity (we're not taking diamonds here, we're talking about clean air & water, food, cost of living, crirical housing & healthcare, increasing extreme weather than costs lives). What does it say about a person that needs to feel superior & gets pleasure from the misfortune of others? What's also distressing is that society has enabled this by remaining quiet and supporting leaders that prioritise the interests of the few over the interests of the community. The world IS making steady progress forward, hopefully quick enough to avoid catastrophe. But no-one should remain on the fence any longer. Get involved in community action to make where you live sustainable, integrated, inclusive, green, safe & climate-ready... and gender-sensitive and child-friendly. Every community project that makes a difference helps... like puzzle pieces fitting together to create a picture of hope & prosperity for all.
Response to your opening paragraph: Have you met the human race? for the most part, we're jerks. Evolution is slow. And your final paragraph is encouraging that as slow as evolution, physical, intellectual and cultural, is, it's still moving in what we hope is the right direction. ❤
@@bigger_mibber6029 I take it you missed "hope" the right direction. Which would be maybe less inclined to do in our fellow humans just because we disagree with the color of their shirt ... Perhaps you feel extinction is a better idea ... won't argue with that where the planet and the universe is concerned, but I do have grand kids I'd like to see give this world a whirl and they're not old enough for that yet.
I remember overlooking the humanities and much of the liberal arts, after all I'm an environmental science major what good would this do? I learned about eco fascism and realized what these fields really do for us and why the sciences, social sciences, and humanities professionals need to have input on the environmental movement and policy
Ironically actual Vikings were more than happy to accept newcomers from all over the old world and if you were one of them you were one of them you’d be surprised how many Vikings were of the Middle East/Anatolian descent.
Well the Vikings whole goal was make money (i means its an occupation moreso than a people) so they went as far out as the Mediterranean, and hey someone from the local lands are great for trade and there's always those desperate/willing enough to join Viking crews, they were pirates and even in the Golden age of piracy in the Caribbean we see the same trends
I'm as left wing as one can be, but please stop using "latinx". If you really want to be inclusive, just use "latine", which I don't particularly like but has at least originated from the Hispanic community.
this pretty much puts all the defintions upside down. Indian nationalism (or Hindu) back in the british colonial period was to unite the people against the tyranny of the English and preserve the culture and civilization of Indians, and liberate them from slavery. Under that context, Hindu or Indian nationalism was not seen as bad.
Today, Indian nationalism is seen as bad when it has to face aggression from past wars with Pakistan and China. Hindu nationalism is seen as bad by the global left academia and media for marginalising the Muslim minortity, if there really a discrimination to begin with. Hindu nationalism is a reaction to preserve the hindu culture from domestic Muslim aggression, terrorism etc.
Lights out. Currently wind and solar make up about 3% of the world's energy production. Wood makes up 10% - more than 3x more than wind and solar. The only near-term replacement for fossil fuels is nuclear fission (NOT fusion). Life is a about trade offs.
What do you mean? I don't think this would have any positive effect. It would escalate the opposition and justify anti-green and anti-anti-fossil fuels attitudes
As a guy who organizes security shifts for a petrol refinery, I welcome it. I'd love to see how well effeminate, arrested-development twigs and obese, flamboyantly haired sows who refuse to carry firearms are able to spur BS with perforated lungs. You know how boring it gets popping holes in paper and cardboard targets? It'd be nice to practice on something that tries to run and climb.
Fascism should be more than a buzzword or as a multiplier attached to another word that already describes something. "Fascism" comes from the word fasces and fasces comes from the word fascio. A fasces is an ax supported by a uniform bundle of sticks. The ax represents rule by violent authority and the bundle represents the people's consent made uniform by the ax. The bundle of sticks that represents the people's consent is called a fascio. The whole idea of fascism relies on the people's consent and how violent authority shapes the people's perception of reality to manipulate that consent. Nationalism is nationalism, racism is racism, classism is classism, etc, fascism is none of these things, these things are all symptoms of fascism.
A more immediate danger in my country is the clout and sway held by the fossil fuel industry with those who think they are moderates, and don't act very fascist, but oppose immigration and green development across the board because of risks to "business" - meaning danger to their large donations.
I find it an increasingly more complex problem. On the one hand I see the way the rise of fascism is being repeated. On the other hand, as a woman, I see the way many foreigners hurt women or don't respect women and whose cultural values are so incompatible with ours that I don't want to live right next to them. That will get labelled as Islamophobia, but I don't think standing up for women's rights should be classified as any kind of phobia. That's villainising people who want half of the world population to be equal to the other half and acting as if that's a strange thing. I don't care about skin color or race and I absolutely believe that shutting the west away from the rest of the world is just harmful. But I do believe that whether or not others treat us with respect should determine whether or not we let them into our home. I do absolutely agree though that socialism is the answer; standing for our rights as women, as workers, actually making changes to go greener.
Grateful to have found your site as I write haiku with images and post them daily on present fascism, patriarchy, and the impending destruction of Gaia due to corporate greed and you are helping me link these up and articulate the causes and solutions more clearly
I always get freaked out when people bring up over population, and how things would be so much more sustainable if billions of people just suddenly didn't exist. It would always be extra convenient if those billions came from somewhere else, not here at home. We don't need a mass die off to become a sustainable civilization, we just need better resource management and priorities.
Imo the fact that many people not involved in business are, and have been calling themselves Nazis means that they never accepted defeat after WWII. In other words, the war technically never ended. It was tabled until the infrastructure could be rolled out globally. This was their plan, and this is what I'm seeing.
More climate change -> more immigrants -> more fascism -> more climate change -> more immigrants -> more fascism -> ... another climate feedback loop that isn't part of any IPCC models.
We have to separate border control from anti immigrant racism. While they absolutely cross over, they are also completely separate. For example - all import and export rules, as well as drug and illegal items trade is either enforced at the border, or have no effect. There are lots of practical reasons why borders exist and are enforced. The point I’d love to get across is that it isn’t inherently racist to want a secured border, as was suggested with the clip about the Arizona government official. In fact, if you took AOC or any progressive politician and told them they weren’t allowed to have a fence or a front door because it’s racist they’d very soon look and sound just like the people they condemn all the time. This is not making any excuses for the openly racist, incredibly sad actual racist ideas and statements that get made about immigrants and borders. That sucks. Just can we be nuanced about this and appreciate the practicality of physical boundaries for our existence please? Haha
There’s two problems with your statements: 1) AOC is a centrist, only a leftist in American politics that lacks a labor movement, let alone any mire egalitarian system; and 2) even if borders are not racist, it does not mean they are good; being not racist is such a low bar. Borders are violent even if they are not racist and that’s a problem already. Their existence, especially in the modern hyper delineated state is a new phenomenon and hurts everyone.
@@lawrencehan7385 I love this. Thinking about whether borders are good or bad is interesting and constructive. The video creator said or insinuated a number of times that borders and their enforcement is racist. That’s all I was critiquing.
@@cordeauxboi The videos talks about borders in an eco-fascist perspective, where fascists uses environmental concerns to push through their hierarchical concerns while maintaining the virtues of the current capitalistic system. The racist elements from eco-fascism stems from two parts: where the effects of climate changes will happen fastest, the tropics, where countries are already disproportionately poor because of exploitation by colonial powers, which forces people from those areas to migrate to wealthier and more resilient areas; and the second part where the skin color of those in the Global South are darker, playing into preconceived racist notions developed during the colonial era. Eco-fascists can ahistorically talk about the environment then blame on the problems on maintaining borders in a "colorblind" fashion, while not mentioning the greater, global context of climate change and its problems. It's why eco-fascist solutions are abysmal and will only help the rich and fossil fuel industries which only care about current profits, not the future world.
@@lawrencehan7385 thanks, I see what you’re saying. This still does not make borders or their enforcement racist, which the video says pretty upfront. But I see what you’re saying. I think that attributing the abundance of equatorial nations to colonial pillaging is not necessarily accurate, while almost always being one of a number of factors. This would be the same problem I see with saying that western countries are only prosperous because of resource and labor colonial theft. While it certainly helped, to explain everything western countries have today as dependent on or mainly attributable to colonial theft is just not the reality as I understand it. Many many nations have enslaved other ethnicities or nations, many times through millennia. There are other factors that have led to the abundance and increase in quality of life that humanity experiences today, even beyond yesterday countries (access to clean water, food, education and average life expectancy world wide has never been higher in the history of our species, despite the gigantic number of people.

Inequality. Almost every right-wing argument can be dismissed with data on inequality. We need to cherish and spread data like Oxfam's massively. Of course, data is not enough, you need a convincing story too. I think it is paramount to realise how far-right logic doesn't address this at all and we're way more united with all nationalities and ethnicities they want us to think.
First time viewer and an Impressive background on the Far-Right. I had no idea John Muir hated and looked down on my People! First Nations domesticated 60% of the World's Food, that should be a positive in most cases.
And the idea of pristine wilderness anywhere that humans live is a fantasy. Native peoples didn't manage land in a way colonists recognised but they did manage land and removing them actually made forests more vulnerable to fire and other disasters, if it wasn't logged or supplanted by cash mono crops. In the same way the removal of keystone species damaged the ecology of every environment. The extractive mindset we have to coal and oil and mining has also been applied to nature to clearly disastrous effect.
great stuff, good to see a channel that fully acknowledges how much our world is about to change and tries to think about what we can do to mitigate some of those problems.
Friendly reminder that even if we abolished all fossil fuel production and use this second, we still wouldn't be able to stop/reverese climate change without ending animal agriculture. As well as loss of biodiversity, pandemic risk, water loss, ocean dead zones, deforrestation and more. Veganism is at the very heart of of saving the climate. It is a non-exploitative relationship to all lifes and nature itself. Obviously capitalism must also be abolished, but animal agriculture is the most urgent and easy to start to adress out of all aspects of climate destruction. And yes, the current fascist wave that is the latest expression of conservative capitalism is horrific. And pretty much all its leading advocates, Jordan Peterson, Daily Wire, PragerU and fox news are financed by big oil and cattle industry.
You lost me at nationalizing private fossil fuel companies... while in the meantime talking about avoiding eco fascism. Also talking about escalating to more extreme measures after talking about avoidance of eco fascism. I did rewind a couple of times on these parts but things still don't add up for me. Part of the problem or the solution?!?
Auschwitz prisoners not only laboured in mines, but perhaps more importantly they built IG Farben Standard Oil industrial plant which was supposed to play a role in fossil processing.
"oh noes the people don't believe about climate change after we have destroyed their trust when we said we were going to use taxpayers money to fix it"
Thanks - as an Indigenous person to north america I’m used to being left out of the discussion. I was especially pleased you brought up how the green movements are also often white supremacist just like the climate deniers.
As a Canadian, this video put chills down my spine given the far-right's connection to the oil sands. You describe the Canadian far-right to a tee. They want to make the oil sands our national identity and they say "Canada is broken", and Indigenous people are the racialized "other", but also Americans too,,, yes, I know most Americans are white but there is actually a long history in Canada of anti-American sentiment being used to uphold white supremacy (if you're curious, I can explain... it would be too long of a comment if I went into that history now)
Instead of dealing with climate change with painful but needed system wide modifications, far right leaders want to block the migration that their policies will make necessary. Eco-refugees will get more numerous as coastal aread get flooded, etc.
This is why we need to invest in modern advanced nuclear energy options. Small form reactors, LFTRs, Thorium Reactors, liquid reactors. Utilizing our advanced modern technology, engineering, material science, safety measures understandings and designs, computer technology, robotics, It will really allow any nation to be pretty much be energy independent. Less reliant on fossil fuels. They'll have efficient, stable electrical grids and the rest of the grid could experiment with alternative power sources, etc. We need to heal from the trauma of our past and see that it came solely from Us not understanding what we were doing, not have advanced enough technology, material science, engineering, safety measures, understanding of how to go about everything, etc. This source of energy will greatly help the world improve towards the future and lowering emissions more than anything else could while having a very stable electrical grid system. Currently we have alternative energy options but the majority of our grid is powered off of fossil fuels and emission producing sources of energy. We will be so much better going forward commiting to modern advanced nuclear energy options. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope we start getting rid of old river dams. {I truly believe, The more our surroundings flourish, the more we all flourish.} With how bad I've been seeing "water level/droughts" in the Western America lately. I really hope we not only reintroduce Beavers all over to influence more water collection to important area's that we can use to supply crops, deal with forest fires. Instead of running our water straight back out to the sea or blocking the rivers natural process for the ecosystem to thrive. There are new mini hydro turbines that could be utilized in combo with nuclear power. We've really messed up natural waterways from poorly designed hydroelectric projects. Before we knew how much negative impact they have on our Ecosystem's biodiversity, water oxygen levels, algae blooms, nutrient flow from inland location's to off shore location's. In some areas like where I live in NW Oregon, rivers are a direct connection from the ocean to the inland ecosystems. Keeping the rivers free is how we keep those ecosystems flourishing which directly connects to our qualities of Life. Our natural waterways are crucial aspects of the entire overall health of every aspect of our environment and anything that connects to that environment. In Oregon, we had some of the best Salmon runs on the planet and lush inland forests, wetland ecosystems, beaver's that created special habitats that held extra water/fire safety and all that got totally flipped upside down from all the hydro dams they built in the early 1900s, and many other practices we once commonly did. Before we knew or understood the negative effects and outcomes that comes from altering them into man made waterways. So I really hope to see tons of projects that are working on rewilding areas for the sole purpose of reestablishing ecosystem's that once flourished. Because Humans inherently do better when their environment is doing better.

What this video says about John Muir is not true. He arrived in Yosemite Valley in 1868, which was more than 10 years after the indigenous people had been removed during the Gold Rush. In the 1880's Muir lived with the Tlingit Indians in Alaska and said many positive things about them. Read his book "Travels in Alaska".
You honestly expect even a lick of critical thinking or fact checked history from a video that is calling the far right fascist right in it's thumbnail? They clearly don't even know the actual English definition of fascism. Fascism these days to the woke is, "whoever disagrees with me! Bwhaaa!" Not. "Those who would use force, defamation, and coercion to push, and enforce their ideals." Antifa for example, fight the "fascists in government." By asking for bigger government and assaulting anyone who disagrees with them. If that's not Anti Fascist then I don't know what is! Oh wait... No nevermind, that's not Anti Fascist, community that literally calls itself anti fascist. That's actually just straight up being fascist. Tldr: The irony of the name Antifa is not lost on me, as it too should not be lost on anyone with a mind that functions beyond the ancient reptilian brain.
In Poland the thing about mining is that during the communism miners were very privileged group. Nowadays, when coal mining became unprofitable due to exhaustion of easily accesible seams miners still fight tooth and nail to retain at least part of their privileges. And it is quite a lot of them, so... They are just interesting group to be targeted when time of election comes around ;)) But yeah, otherwise PiS plays on the emotions of people, trying to find topics to distract society from malversation that occurs on daily basis, always looking for external threats... Polish society became really polarized, especially after 2010 Smoleńsk accident.
It's not just Poland. Britain had a similar problem in the 80s, when our coal industry became unprofitable due to reduced demand and access to bulk imports of lower-cost imported coal. It didn't go well. Our government of the time was not at all supportive of the miners though - really to an extreme. Former mining towns are still angry about that to this day. The Conservative party does not negotiate with strikers in much the same way that the government does not negotiate with terrorists: They are the enemy and are to be destroyed, not debated. The US has a similar failure of coal culturally, but for another reason: Improved technology. With bigger and more capable industrial machinery, the need to have a thousand men with picks at the coal-face ended. Now it's one man operating the hydraulic mining machine. So while the coal industry is still going strong, a mine no longer employs a workforce huge enough to support an entire town. There are towns which were built economically and culturally around coal mining, and are now left with a collective feeling of having no more purpose.

I'm not sure why we're trying to say fossil fuel use is rooted in fascism? It's a dependable fuel source. A large part of the electricity we consume today is produced through fossil fuels and natural gas. Solar and wind are nice but these use a lot of rare metal magnets to generate any electricity and are not very recyclable. They can also cause issues in local ecosystems. Wind turbines set up in coastal bodies of water have been known to affect animals who rely on electro-magnetism as a form of stimulus, like sharks. Sharks will bite away at bases of wind turbines because their senses are overloaded by the currents generated by the turbine and along is cabling that runs through the body of the turbine like a massive electro-magnet. Solar panels are barely recyclable, if at all. If we want to get away from fossil fuels, we should be looking towards hydroelectric energy. My reason for hydro is it can be a much more dependable and reliable renewable energy source. According to the NY EIA, "Hydroelectric power accounted for 73% of the state's total renewable electricity generation in 2021, and 22% of the state's total net generation from all sources." Hydroelectric dams actually benefit ecosystems by helping to dam watershed and giving it a better chance to soak into the earth. In addition, the power efficiencies of hydroelectric dams far outcompete the power generated from fields of solar panels and wind turbines along hillsides. Look into the power that's generated from the Niagara Power Station.

I am left-wing, but immigration is one of the worst things to happen to humanity. You can't expect to run from problems and keep benefiting from systems that you never had a hand in creating. People need to shut borders off and help people in the homeland instead of supplying capitalism with a cheaper and cheaper workforce while destroying the indigenous working class. Protectionism and government intervention and incentives are required on the free market, because our little guys cannot compete on even footing with the biggest fish of the sea. The best way to help people is to bestow upon them the means of becoming emancipated, not herd them in like cattle and treat them like low-skilled trash while our own people struggle to make ends meet.
You clearly are a climate communist who does not understand that fascism is a related socialist political ideology. Both communists and fascists despised individual rights as represented by America's classical liberalism at the time. Giovanni Gentile was considered the philosopher of fascism and he was a mentor and advisor to Mussolini. Both were admirers of Karl Marx. Mussolini's father and Mussolini himself were powerful members of the socialist party in Italy and were revolutionary socialist activists. Mussolini became the editor of the Italian newspaper, the Avanti, the voice of the socialist party. The fascist doctrine is the abolishment of individual freedom in favour as Mussolini stated, "of the collective" as represented by the State. Citizens are expected to worship the state Fascism believes in centralised government and a government planned economy, and like Marx's philosophy, it formally supports the use of violence to achieve its political goals. Under fascism private property is nominally permitted so long as the owner works towards the state's goals. Mussolini was forced out of the socialist party because he was considered too radical, and supported Italy's military intervention into WW1. The word fascism derives from fascio, a bundle of wood meaning to represent a bundle of people going back to the use of fasces in ancient Rome. It is ecosocialism which is leading to energy poverty and real poverty around the world because it puts ideology above human lives, just like socialist communist and fascist doctrines.
@@donjindra “Climate hysteria” are the words that the far-right party in Finland used. Should I just assume you’re a fossil fascist, or would you like to defend your position by elaborating?
@@hostilepancakes What the "far right" in Finland said is irrelevant. There is no such thing as a "fossil fuel fascist." That's an idiotic concept. The hysteria is all around us. People are blaming the climate for every problem including crime and depression. Some people think the human race is going to disappear in a few short years. It's the same mentality as religious crazies predicting the apocalypse.
Actually San Sepolcro declaration was quite progressive and socialist. A few years later fascists were recruited by landowners and capitalists to repress strikers and trade unionists during the "Red Biennium" of revolts.
I have lived in rural Alberta for most of my life, and from growing up in the praries I have learned this: The symbol of fascism, the fasces, isn't carried around by your modern fascist. But the fascists of North America do carry a metaphorical one, one to the tune of "I ❤ 🍁 Oil and Gas". If you don't venerate the oil industry like they do, they will consider you a traitor.
You're able to say/think/feel these things because you are privileged. You do not consider the nature of life and the desire to survive and thrive. All living things survive and thrive at the cost of something else. It's easy to blame the people you're blaming now. Shifting power will not solve any problems.

Really tiny thing about this video: LatinX is not really an appropriate word to use. "Latinos" is correct. It is just weird having white people project their culture insecurities into a different language and culture. The masculine/feminine aspect of the language is not how it would be viewed from English. Its hard to explain because the concept doesn't really exist in English. Its like wanting to gender neutral the concept of male and female electric or piping connectors. The male end of a powercord is not actually inherently masculine, it's just called that for nomenclature and the fact it inserts into something lol

They never teach you how fascist Italy and Germany were capitalist societies.
Don't forget about how the USA literally let Japan whitewash their history just so they could have a capitalist nation in Asia. They were so bad the Nazis told them to chill. And now the Ultra-Nationalist movements there are gaining steam, even being supported by Shinzo Abe. I'm half Chinese (although that side lives in Taiwan), and my parent from that side (and their mother) still hates Japan for what they did.

Unfortunately, I have been worrying about this for years. As soon as people begin to actually suffer from Global Warming, whether deadly heat waves, or failed harvests, they will turn toward fascism. Europe almost fell due to the financial crisis and there was enough food for everyone. The other side of the coin, is that there will be ten times the number of refugees and asylum seekers at the borders. If we could barely survive Syria, when Bangladesh is submerged... I also agree with your solution. To address the powerless rage of the white working class, we need strong unions. This gives the working man, a sense of strength and the struggle is against the real enemy.
Unions are not the answer, at best they're a small part of an international or post-national anti-imperialist/anti-capitalist revolution, but in the imperial core, they function more to maintain capitalism and enable labor aristocracy and unequal exchange than anything progressive or actually anti-capitalist. Also, simply collectivizing labor is no fix in itself because degrowth and redistribution are the real solutions at the moment.
@Philip M I misread "onions are not... 😆 "
But indeed, in our Netherlands, the unions cooperated in the "consultation model" to make deals to trade off limited salary rise for job security, leading to a steady economic growth for 30+ years (with the odd dip).
Arthur Berman, who's been charting oil production and consumption for over 30 years, also mapped the consecutive 27 COP climate conferences against agreements and the degree in which countries kept their promises. Zero improvement in 30 years. Berman still is convinced not climate policies, but production constraints will bring down oil production on mid term - after which energy companies may return to coal. Bit pessimistic, that outlook, but so far the low rate of success of climate policy doesn't bode well - nort does a right wing swing of voters following rising prices and increasing migration / refugee numbers

This explains something that has been going on in Norway for a while now; obviously wind turbines are presented as a good thing, and that "everyone who is against them simply don't care about climate change", but then they are placed on lands used by Sámi people keeping reindeer or in areas known to have rare birds that get killed by the wind turbines.

It is interesting that you mention "broken neoliberal system" since as a Halfbreed here in Portland Oregon I have had altercations with both the Prius Liberals and MAGA Pickup Truck Owners. Both have made it clear that I am not welcome here:
The MAGA types usually use the Sp-word and tell me to "Deport yourself" which is twisted since I am of European, First Nations and Native American Ancestry. How exactly can I deport myself to the flooded plains of Beringa???
The Prius Pseudo Liberals had a cow about my 84 Audi 4000 Quattro [a compact car] and now that I had to buy a car that had a softer ride, due to an assault by a neighbor who knew I had a broken back,. As both the Audi Quattro and Mustang GT had install kits available for Recarro seats so I could have Recarro's Orthopedic seats installed. So I am now hearing about how I am "killing the environment", when 20 to 25 mpg is really good fuel economy for an Accessible Vehicle.
The crazy part is that I used to use Portland's Mass Transit more than I drove. Unfortunately Trimet Buses ride too harshly for the compression injury of my back. As Trimet over-inflates the tires on their buses to increase the fuel economy by 8% making them ride like a cement truck or like a Prius....
So my take is that we just have increasing intolerance since it shouldn't matter that I live here since some of my ancestors have been in North America for at least 15000 years. Nor should it matter if people from Latin America move here since they have ancestors who have been in the Americas for at least 15000 years. And it really shouldn't matter that I drive an accessible car less than 5000 miles a year...

To be honest about the overpopulation issue, it's the people using the most resources at the most intensive level (wealthy individuals and economies) that are doing the most damage to the environment by having kids who also consume lots of resources , not poor people.
Exactly. Kris Jenner, a wealthy woman, had 6 kids. This early kids fly private jets, etc. Her and her children use more resources than tens of poor people in the Global South.
yeah. they even say something about how selfish they are for wanting enough kids to ensure at least one to survive to adulthood. some people even want the rich countries to stop selling them medicines so more of those kids would die. explaining them that they are having a lot of children because those children are dieing is futile. as is explaining that the Africa is not overpopulated. they don't lack food. they lack roads by which the food would be sent and sold from the areas where the harvest was good to the ones where it was very bad. roads, railways and other types of infrastructure are the things that have proven themselves as the best ways of helping the third world countries. that is probably the reason why the "humanitarian" agencies are almost never building them. they are rather doing the things the poor are completely capable of doing themselves without outside help instead. that is not help. that is neocolonialism.
I would agree to that. For instance water being used to fill olympic-sized pools. Gentrification.

Majority of people live in the countries with below replacement fertility. World is currently at the replacement level fertility. In just a few years it will be bellow. Why are you so scared of the poor? Have they "stolen your job" or something?

i often fear humanity may never wake up from its vapid and self interested mass psychosis
Humanity has done such things throughout the ages. So it's nothing new, and nothing that will go away.
Your fears are justified because methods of power application has evolved greatly and now we are seeing a mantra of "flaw acceptance" being promoted as a means of stopping anyone wishing to create change by branding them as ignorant idealists pursuing utopianism. There is nothing wrong with wishing for things to change for the better and trying to do so. But letting problems slide by calling them normal is not good. I fear that we might be taking a step towards a new evil form of "enlightenment" where morals will be deemed as weakness and power abuse for selfishness will become the new "good."
yeah the more self-made problems that humanity imposes on itself constantly throughout history makes me believe that we needed a few more hundred-thousand years of social evolution before settling down in societies.

What does it say about a person that needs to feel superior & gets pleasure from the misfortune of others?
What's also distressing is that society has enabled this by remaining quiet and supporting leaders that prioritise the interests of the few over the interests of the community.

"Fascism" comes from the word fasces and fasces comes from the word fascio. A fasces is an ax supported by a uniform bundle of sticks. The ax represents rule by violent authority and the bundle represents the people's consent made uniform by the ax. The bundle of sticks that represents the people's consent is called a fascio. The whole idea of fascism relies on the people's consent and how violent authority shapes the people's perception of reality to manipulate that consent.
Nationalism is nationalism, racism is racism, classism is classism, etc, fascism is none of these things, these things are all symptoms of fascism.
A more immediate danger in my country is the clout and sway held by the fossil fuel industry with those who think they are moderates, and don't act very fascist, but oppose immigration and green development across the board because of risks to "business" - meaning danger to their large donations.
I find it an increasingly more complex problem. On the one hand I see the way the rise of fascism is being repeated. On the other hand, as a woman, I see the way many foreigners hurt women or don't respect women and whose cultural values are so incompatible with ours that I don't want to live right next to them. That will get labelled as Islamophobia, but I don't think standing up for women's rights should be classified as any kind of phobia. That's villainising people who want half of the world population to be equal to the other half and acting as if that's a strange thing. I don't care about skin color or race and I absolutely believe that shutting the west away from the rest of the world is just harmful. But I do believe that whether or not others treat us with respect should determine whether or not we let them into our home. I do absolutely agree though that socialism is the answer; standing for our rights as women, as workers, actually making changes to go greener.

I swear, when I read the notification, I almost thought the video was about dinosaur fossils.
well, theyre called fossil fuels for a reason. theyve been trapped underground as decomposed matter, for a very, very long time.
Seen Fascism be covered by 'Some More News'?
I always get freaked out when people bring up over population, and how things would be so much more sustainable if billions of people just suddenly didn't exist. It would always be extra convenient if those billions came from somewhere else, not here at home. We don't need a mass die off to become a sustainable civilization, we just need better resource management and priorities.
Imo the fact that many people not involved in business are, and have been calling themselves Nazis means that they never accepted defeat after WWII. In other words, the war technically never ended. It was tabled until the infrastructure could be rolled out globally. This was their plan, and this is what I'm seeing.
Dude, I don't think any Latina/Latino wants to be called Latinx. Read your comments.
More climate change -> more immigrants -> more fascism -> more climate change -> more immigrants -> more fascism -> ... another climate feedback loop that isn't part of any IPCC models.
We have to separate border control from anti immigrant racism.
While they absolutely cross over, they are also completely separate.
For example - all import and export rules, as well as drug and illegal items trade is either enforced at the border, or have no effect.
There are lots of practical reasons why borders exist and are enforced.
The point I’d love to get across is that it isn’t inherently racist to want a secured border, as was suggested with the clip about the Arizona government official.
In fact, if you took AOC or any progressive politician and told them they weren’t allowed to have a fence or a front door because it’s racist they’d very soon look and sound just like the people they condemn all the time.
This is not making any excuses for the openly racist, incredibly sad actual racist ideas and statements that get made about immigrants and borders. That sucks.
Just can we be nuanced about this and appreciate the practicality of physical boundaries for our existence please? Haha
There’s two problems with your statements: 1) AOC is a centrist, only a leftist in American politics that lacks a labor movement, let alone any mire egalitarian system; and 2) even if borders are not racist, it does not mean they are good; being not racist is such a low bar. Borders are violent even if they are not racist and that’s a problem already. Their existence, especially in the modern hyper delineated state is a new phenomenon and hurts everyone.
@@lawrencehan7385 I love this.
Thinking about whether borders are good or bad is interesting and constructive. The video creator said or insinuated a number of times that borders and their enforcement is racist. That’s all I was critiquing.
@@cordeauxboi The videos talks about borders in an eco-fascist perspective, where fascists uses environmental concerns to push through their hierarchical concerns while maintaining the virtues of the current capitalistic system.
The racist elements from eco-fascism stems from two parts: where the effects of climate changes will happen fastest, the tropics, where countries are already disproportionately poor because of exploitation by colonial powers, which forces people from those areas to migrate to wealthier and more resilient areas; and the second part where the skin color of those in the Global South are darker, playing into preconceived racist notions developed during the colonial era. Eco-fascists can ahistorically talk about the environment then blame on the problems on maintaining borders in a "colorblind" fashion, while not mentioning the greater, global context of climate change and its problems. It's why eco-fascist solutions are abysmal and will only help the rich and fossil fuel industries which only care about current profits, not the future world.
@@lawrencehan7385 thanks, I see what you’re saying.
This still does not make borders or their enforcement racist, which the video says pretty upfront. But I see what you’re saying.
I think that attributing the abundance of equatorial nations to colonial pillaging is not necessarily accurate, while almost always being one of a number of factors. This would be the same problem I see with saying that western countries are only prosperous because of resource and labor colonial theft. While it certainly helped, to explain everything western countries have today as dependent on or mainly attributable to colonial theft is just not the reality as I understand it.
Many many nations have enslaved other ethnicities or nations, many times through millennia. There are other factors that have led to the abundance and increase in quality of life that humanity experiences today, even beyond yesterday countries (access to clean water, food, education and average life expectancy world wide has never been higher in the history of our species, despite the gigantic number of people.
Always good to recommend The Anatomy of Fascism by Robert Paxton when the topic comes up.

Inequality. Almost every right-wing argument can be dismissed with data on inequality. We need to cherish and spread data like Oxfam's massively.

I had no idea John Muir hated and looked down on my People!
First Nations domesticated 60% of the World's Food, that should be a positive in most cases.
And the idea of pristine wilderness anywhere that humans live is a fantasy. Native peoples didn't manage land in a way colonists recognised but they did manage land and removing them actually made forests more vulnerable to fire and other disasters, if it wasn't logged or supplanted by cash mono crops. In the same way the removal of keystone species damaged the ecology of every environment. The extractive mindset we have to coal and oil and mining has also been applied to nature to clearly disastrous effect.
great stuff, good to see a channel that fully acknowledges how much our world is about to change and tries to think about what we can do to mitigate some of those problems.
YES!
@Mike Harrison fossil fuels will bring human destruction
As a Polish, I thank you for calling PiS what they truly are - fascists.
Friendly reminder that even if we abolished all fossil fuel production and use this second, we still wouldn't be able to stop/reverese climate change without ending animal agriculture. As well as loss of biodiversity, pandemic risk, water loss, ocean dead zones, deforrestation and more.
Veganism is at the very heart of of saving the climate. It is a non-exploitative relationship to all lifes and nature itself.
Obviously capitalism must also be abolished, but animal agriculture is the most urgent and easy to start to adress out of all aspects of climate destruction.
And yes, the current fascist wave that is the latest expression of conservative capitalism is horrific. And pretty much all its leading advocates, Jordan Peterson, Daily Wire, PragerU and fox news are financed by big oil and cattle industry.
You lost me at nationalizing private fossil fuel companies... while in the meantime talking about avoiding eco fascism.

This is why we need to invest in modern advanced nuclear energy options. Small form reactors, LFTRs, Thorium Reactors, liquid reactors. Utilizing our advanced modern technology, engineering, material science, safety measures understandings and designs, computer technology, robotics, It will really allow any nation to be pretty much be energy independent. Less reliant on fossil fuels. They'll have efficient, stable electrical grids and the rest of the grid could experiment with alternative power sources, etc.
We need to heal from the trauma of our past and see that it came solely from Us not understanding what we were doing, not have advanced enough technology, material science, engineering, safety measures, understanding of how to go about everything, etc. This source of energy will greatly help the world improve towards the future and lowering emissions more than anything else could while having a very stable electrical grid system. Currently we have alternative energy options but the majority of our grid is powered off of fossil fuels and emission producing sources of energy. We will be so much better going forward commiting to modern advanced nuclear energy options.

I hope we start getting rid of old river dams. {I truly believe, The more our surroundings flourish, the more we all flourish.} With how bad I've been seeing "water level/droughts" in the Western America lately. I really hope we not only reintroduce Beavers all over to influence more water collection to important area's that we can use to supply crops, deal with forest fires. Instead of running our water straight back out to the sea or blocking the rivers natural process for the ecosystem to thrive. There are new mini hydro turbines that could be utilized in combo with nuclear power.
We've really messed up natural waterways from poorly designed hydroelectric projects. Before we knew how much negative impact they have on our Ecosystem's biodiversity, water oxygen levels, algae blooms, nutrient flow from inland location's to off shore location's. In some areas like where I live in NW Oregon, rivers are a direct connection from the ocean to the inland ecosystems. Keeping the rivers free is how we keep those ecosystems flourishing which directly connects to our qualities of Life. Our natural waterways are crucial aspects of the entire overall health of every aspect of our environment and anything that connects to that environment. In Oregon, we had some of the best Salmon runs on the planet and lush inland forests, wetland ecosystems, beaver's that created special habitats that held extra water/fire safety and all that got totally flipped upside down from all the hydro dams they built in the early 1900s, and many other practices we once commonly did. Before we knew or understood the negative effects and outcomes that comes from altering them into man made waterways. So I really hope to see tons of projects that are working on rewilding areas for the sole purpose of reestablishing ecosystem's that once flourished. Because Humans inherently do better when their environment is doing better. It provides a ton of benefit to it's people and to the quality of Life as a whole for not just humans but the entire ecosystem around you which will definitely have positive impacts to so many layers to people's life's and your community as a whole.
Completely agree
Saying Latinx is Eco Fascism
What this video says about John Muir is not true. He arrived in Yosemite Valley in 1868, which was more than 10 years after the indigenous people had been removed during the Gold Rush. In the 1880's Muir lived with the Tlingit Indians in Alaska and said many positive things about them. Read his book "Travels in Alaska".
You honestly expect even a lick of critical thinking or fact checked history from a video that is calling the far right fascist right in it's thumbnail? They clearly don't even know the actual English definition of fascism. Fascism these days to the woke is, "whoever disagrees with me! Bwhaaa!" Not. "Those who would use force, defamation, and coercion to push, and enforce their ideals." Antifa for example, fight the "fascists in government." By asking for bigger government and assaulting anyone who disagrees with them. If that's not Anti Fascist then I don't know what is! Oh wait... No nevermind, that's not Anti Fascist, community that literally calls itself anti fascist. That's actually just straight up being fascist. Tldr: The irony of the name Antifa is not lost on me, as it too should not be lost on anyone with a mind that functions beyond the ancient reptilian brain.
based video comrade.
In Poland the thing about mining is that during the communism miners were very privileged group. Nowadays, when coal mining became unprofitable due to exhaustion of easily accesible seams miners still fight tooth and nail to retain at least part of their privileges. And it is quite a lot of them, so... They are just interesting group to be targeted when time of election comes around ;))
But yeah, otherwise PiS plays on the emotions of people, trying to find topics to distract society from malversation that occurs on daily basis, always looking for external threats... Polish society became really polarized, especially after 2010 Smoleńsk accident.
It's not just Poland. Britain had a similar problem in the 80s, when our coal industry became unprofitable due to reduced demand and access to bulk imports of lower-cost imported coal. It didn't go well. Our government of the time was not at all supportive of the miners though - really to an extreme. Former mining towns are still angry about that to this day. The Conservative party does not negotiate with strikers in much the same way that the government does not negotiate with terrorists: They are the enemy and are to be destroyed, not debated.
The US has a similar failure of coal culturally, but for another reason: Improved technology. With bigger and more capable industrial machinery, the need to have a thousand men with picks at the coal-face ended. Now it's one man operating the hydraulic mining machine. So while the coal industry is still going strong, a mine no longer employs a workforce huge enough to support an entire town. There are towns which were built economically and culturally around coal mining, and are now left with a collective feeling of having no more purpose.
Afther a while it becomes inpossible to argue with people who are far right wing becouse you can not provide evidence to suport your opinion intried in debate once brojght up all documents and scientific data during thendisxusion it was all writem of as fake

Second Thought is focused on critiquing capitalism and serves as a general entry-level socialism channel for beginners, whereas this channel is specifically eco-socialist, which is a branch of socialism and environmentalism.
Most channels are broadly environmentalist and do not subscribe to any particular ideology, so this channel is pretty unconventional.
But everything that is said on this channel is backed up by evidence, and it is this channel that actually got me into eco-socialism.
I'm not sure why we're trying to say fossil fuel use is rooted in fascism? It's a dependable fuel source. A large part of the electricity we consume today is produced through fossil fuels and natural gas.
Solar and wind are nice but these use a lot of rare metal magnets to generate any electricity and are not very recyclable. They can also cause issues in local ecosystems. Wind turbines set up in coastal bodies of water have been known to affect animals who rely on electro-magnetism as a form of stimulus, like sharks. Sharks will bite away at bases of wind turbines because their senses are overloaded by the currents generated by the turbine and along is cabling that runs through the body of the turbine like a massive electro-magnet. Solar panels are barely recyclable, if at all. If we want to get away from fossil fuels, we should be looking towards hydroelectric energy. My reason for hydro is it can be a much more dependable and reliable renewable energy source.
According to the NY EIA, "Hydroelectric power accounted for 73% of the state's total renewable electricity generation in 2021, and 22% of the state's total net generation from all sources."
Hydroelectric dams actually benefit ecosystems by helping to dam watershed and giving it a better chance to soak into the earth. In addition, the power efficiencies of hydroelectric dams far outcompete the power generated from fields of solar panels and wind turbines along hillsides. Look into the power that's generated from the Niagara Power Station.

I am left-wing, but immigration is one of the worst things to happen to humanity. You can't expect to run from problems and keep benefiting from systems that you never had a hand in creating. People need to shut borders off and help people in the homeland instead of supplying capitalism with a cheaper and cheaper workforce while destroying the indigenous working class. Protectionism and government intervention and incentives are required on the free market, because our little guys cannot compete on even footing with the biggest fish of the sea. The best way to help people is to bestow upon them the means of becoming emancipated, not herd them in like cattle and treat them like low-skilled trash while our own people struggle to make ends meet.
I am pro immigration, but you’re take is very interesting, understandable and is making me think. Thanks for sharing truly
You clearly are a climate communist who does not understand that fascism is a related socialist political ideology. Both communists and fascists despised individual rights as represented by America's classical liberalism at the time. Giovanni Gentile was considered the philosopher of fascism and he was a mentor and advisor to Mussolini. Both were admirers of Karl Marx. Mussolini's father and Mussolini himself were powerful members of the socialist party in Italy and were revolutionary socialist activists. Mussolini became the editor of the Italian newspaper, the Avanti, the voice of the socialist party. The fascist doctrine is the abolishment of individual freedom in favour as Mussolini stated, "of the collective" as represented by the State. Citizens are expected to worship the state Fascism believes in centralised government and a government planned economy, and like Marx's philosophy, it formally supports the use of violence to achieve its political goals. Under fascism private property is nominally permitted so long as the owner works towards the state's goals. Mussolini was forced out of the socialist party because he was considered too radical, and supported Italy's military intervention into WW1. The word fascism derives from fascio, a bundle of wood meaning to represent a bundle of people going back to the use of fasces in ancient Rome. It is ecosocialism which is leading to energy poverty and real poverty around the world because it puts ideology above human lives, just like socialist communist and fascist doctrines.

If you don't venerate the oil industry like they do, they will consider you a traitor.
