    No War but Class War

      So communists haven't caused an ecological crisis either? Hilarious!! Platonic philosophy as exponential wealth growth for the elite is the basis of both communism and capitalism. Logarithmic math is the inverse of the exponential function - Marx USED logarithmic math to critique capitalism but Marx still used the wrong mathematics aka "commutative geometry" math is the wrong paradigm. Noncommutativity is the truth of nonwestern ecological cultures from our original human culture that lived peacefully with Nature since 225,000 years ago.

      the corporate media is obsessed with elections because the Customer of the corporate media is Corporate 100% tax deductible advertising. Elections are a huge cash crop for the corporate media. The "Two parties" are both controlled by corporate Law with corporations protected by the Bill of Rights as "legal persons" - meaning Free Speech Money, etc. Due Process - the right to profit (pillage and plunder). So Platonic Philosophy says that "each person" is valued in democracy as 9/8 major 2nd music interval that is converted to logarithmic geometric magnitude with 9/8 cubed as the Tritone or the Tyrant inherent to democracy. The secret inverse of logarithms is the exponential wealth growth for the elite. Study economics professor Michael E. Hudson for details (he started out in music).

      I came to that conclusion in 1996 so logically then the next question was to find out what happens after death. So I finished my master's degree in 2000 by doing intensive meditation with a Chinese qigong spiritual yoga master. I know that ghosts are for real for example. Western modern mentality has no idea what's going on.

    Capitalist socialization is socialization through individualization as isolation. The right can draw on remnants of tradition (be it family, religion, local communities) as well as consumerism as a community foundation (professional sport, the entertainment industry in general), while progressive movements must first create a post-capitalist social forms that enable non-violent inequality.
    Unfortunately, the time for this is running out very quickly. The only thing that's certain is that no party will save us.

  • @StabilisingGlobalTemperature

    1. If we wait for a change of social structure to do anything significant, we will be waiting a very long time. I did an experiment regarding what part of society will actually get off their backside and do something for the good of all. And it turns out the middle class are the ones with some time spare to do something which requires a social conscience.

    • @StabilisingGlobalTemperature
      @StabilisingGlobalTemperature 4 місяці тому

      2. The experiment:
      The UK Parliament has a petitions website. Members of the public can start a new petition. And then people can sign the petition. And the number of signatures is shown straight away on the web page for that petition. And very usefully, it shows it by parliamentary constituency.
      So, I had a few thousand leaflets printed, giving the link to the petitions page and with a QR code to it too.

    • @StabilisingGlobalTemperature
      @StabilisingGlobalTemperature 4 місяці тому

      4. The experiment was conducted in the City of Bath. This is a single parliamentary constituency. It has areas that are extremely walthy, areas that are middle, and also very deprived areas, which the tourists do not see. And also a substantial students area.
      Each weekend I would deliver a fixed number of leaflets (300), in specific types of area. In the 4 categories above. Then during the following week I would check the numbers signing the petition. Nearly all signatures would be within the first day or two of the leafleting.

    • @StabilisingGlobalTemperature
      @StabilisingGlobalTemperature 4 місяці тому

      5. Results:
      There were cloze to zero who signed the petition in the very wealthy area.
      There were a handful in the less well off area.
      Typically a dozen in the students area.
      But the big response was in the middle class area. Typically 50 signatures.
      I repeated the deliveries 10 times (3000 leaflets total).
      It was quite informative an experiment.

    • @StabilisingGlobalTemperature
      @StabilisingGlobalTemperature 4 місяці тому +1

      6. In summary: we must work with the social structure that already exists. If we add a sequential dependancy (changing the social structure) onto the need to tackle the climate crisis, we will just be delaying addressing it.
      Those in middle class areas have spare resources (time and money) to really do something useful.
      If you frame the climate problem as "class war" then you already lost the middle class. And they are the key sector to really do anything significant. You should not be alienating those who are your natural allies.

    Blue collar manufacturing jobs depend on cheap, abundant, and reliable energy. So called "green" (it isn't) energy (wind, solar, batteries) do not and cannot provide that.
    All the necessities of working class families depend on that same cheap, reliable, and abundant energy. At the same time they pay more for energy they pay more for the products they need to live.
    Green energy is a loser on all counts.
    It is antidemocratic.

We have as a culture, jobs for jobs sake and money being an allowance to boundless energy, depending on the amount you have, has to stop.

      The response of the "four dead in oHIo" DeepState against student encampments protesting the genocidal mass-murder and ethnic cleansing by the Nationalist Zionists in Palestine - a relatively minor side issue on the spectrum of the existential predicaments - demonstrates the degree to which "resistance is futile" will be violently enforced without the slightest moral hesitancy...
