Corporatocracy Carney

The last few months have been something wild...

Corporatocracy Carney is nothing like his book Value(s) and his presentation during the Reith Lectures.

He talked so eloquently about how society/economic frameworks needed to evolve. That we needed more nuance and substance in how we valued things - For example: A forest has value past just being cut down for lumber..

Now we have someone on the war path against any environmental reviews, regulations, and limits...

We have someone on the war path against Labour.

We have someone incredibly about the military-industrial complex.

The man is trying to remake the U.S. empire...

I and others have talked about how he is a "Progressive" Conservative - A Blue Liberal/Red Tory type. In reality he is a Corporatocracy Conservative on fucking steroids.

(And yes PP is worse as one of the standard con-artist grifters of the reactionary/regressive sphere)

We all need to realize the next four years to a decade is going to be a big fight to hold onto what we have in the Labour Movement, Environmentalist Movement, Women's Rights Movement, LGBTQ+ Rights Movement, Civil Rights Movement, Peace Movement, Alter-Globalization Movement, and so on for actually better and brighter horizons.

Get involved & Get active!

The working class and most vulnerable only have each other.. All the rights and benefits we enjoy today came from the fights of solidarity.

We need to start being a whole lot more on the offensive to actually deliver the next generation of wins for all those aforementioned causes.

This neoliberal death cult is only going to get more dark and dystopian and we are only going to see more and more of an affordability of life crisis/quality of life crisis of the working class and most vulnerable (Alongside more and more austerity).

No one is coming to save us! It is up to us alone. Period.

The Corruption Of The Democratic Party....

We've all heard/seen the info related to the 2024 Autopsy Report..

It's amazing how much they will fight the truth.

All they have to do is go all in and big with inspiring/profound perspectives/policies.

Be Big With:

  1. The Labour Movement (Unions, Federation of Labours, Labour Councils, and so on) - Show how you are going to deliver the next big generation of wins for rights/benefits of the working class.

  2. Environmentalist Movement - Show how you are going to be big with taking back the leadership role of developing/advancing Renewable Energy/Electrification Technology and so on.

  3. Women's Rights Movement, LGBTQ+ Rights Movement, Civil Rights Movement - Show how you are going to protect peoples basic human rights. How you will create a society of love and equality not stigmatization, hate, alienation, and "other"ing/Us vs Them mob level garbage.

  4. Peace Movement - No more war machine shit and all the corruption of some of the most predatory bad actors involved in this sphere.

The list goes on and on.

People want something to believe in. Period. They want to fight for better and brighter. You have to actually inspire people and DELIVER.

Also for goodness sake - STOP HOLDING BACK AND TRYING TO CRUSH THE PROGRESSIVE & DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST DIMENSIONS OF THE PARTY!

Apologies to our subreddit members :)

As this subreddit has got more and more busy we unfortunately have had some bad actors that keep making duplicate accounts. They freak out when they get called out for spam, misinformation, denial of science, and so on of the lowest sphere possible to exist at.

This is the summary Reddit gives for the one user that just was making posts today about being unfairly targeted:

Summary

Extensive history of NSFW, sexually explicit, and objectifying content. Interaction in r/ClimateCrisisCanada is hostile and ad hominem. Includes aggressive language and offensive slurs in comments. Lacks constructive contribution to the subreddit.

Not exactly the most honest of folks are they...

Just like the Oil & Gas Industry folks that hire some of the same individuals/organizations involved with the old Tobacco companies campaigns around "Alternative Science/Facts & Messaging"... 😉

Some required reading for this subreddit:

Please, Please, PLEASE know the fucking basics lol

Trumps foreign policy of raging into the void....

Well we have another week of Trump/His Cronies threatening devastation to then go "Well never mind..... Now negotiations are going wonderful!" or "Well never mind.... Someone asked me to not do it so as a favor I'm going to postpone my attack for a week or so!"

It's the same script week after week after week. Sometimes multiple times a day....

There is always some people that try and pretend this administration isn't the flail/failure that it obviously is - Especially on foreign policy.

For those of us living in reality how do you think this will all play out?

We've got about a month/two months of the current limited/closed Strait before we have serious issues with reserves.

Also if the conflict goes hot again and we get further damage to Hydrocarbon Energy supply & infrastructure then even if the Strait does open we will have long going supply disruptions issues.

The whole thing is a mess. A horrible horrible mess.

(I guess at least on the bright side - Trumps fiasco is supercharging investment, research & development, and implementation of Renewable Energy/Electrification Technology)

WARNING: YOU WILL BE BANNED.

Read this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClimateCrisisCanada/comments/1tdbaqg/please_please_please_know_the_fucking_basics_lol/

I am going to make this very very very clear.

If the account is a bot or operating at the level of a bot you will be banned.

This is a subreddit for substantive discussion. Not spam, misinformation, denial of science, and so on of the lowest sphere possible.

There are sadly plenty of online places you can exist in the lowest level possible of populism (I.e. A mob).

This isn't one of them.

We value actual in-depth discussions in good faith, that are respectful, and end up in constructive/positive places.

We believe in protecting the nature world. You know... That thing that all life arises from and is sustained by.

*Also maybe take a moment to think about how you maybe got literally programmed to exist as your worst possible self by bad predatory actors because they profit from you existing in a misinformed/ignorant/asshole state....* You "Free Thinker" types may want to sit on that one for a while...

Environmental scientists and science overall are not in some great conspiracy against you...

The Oil & Gas Lobby literally hired some of the same individuals/organizations involved with the old Tobacco lobby propaganda campaigns....

It's not hard to figure out what is the correct side to be fighting on here..

Please, Please, PLEASE know the fucking basics lol

We always get a few posters/commentators (and a bit more when posts go viral) that repeat the old line of: "Oil & Gas is being so held back in the U.S. and Canada!"

Reality:

The United States of America is the #1 producer and consumer of oil barrels a day in the world...

It produces around 3-4 MILLION barrels a day of oil more than Saudi Arabia...

Canada is #4 in the world of 195 nations...

Here in Canada:

In 1990 as a nation we did around 1.7 MILLION barrels every single day.

In 2014 that was around 3.8 MILLION barrels every single day.

Now that sits around 4.6 to 5+ MILLION barrels every single day.

(Yes it went up during Trudeaus time in office too lol)

We are the Petrocracy countries. We are the countries overflowing with Oil & Gas Lobby propaganda...

If this is shocking to you it is because lies are repeated at a brute force brainwashing level within certain circles. Then they get repeated by people ill-informed/misinformed.

Bots and then people acting at the level of bots.

You'll probably also find it startling to learn that the Oil & Gas Lobby had its own climate scientists in the 50's and 60's that reported what would happen with the climate and overall environmental issues and the industry hid that information because they didn't want Renewable Energy/Electrification Technology developed too fast to threaten their invested interests.

Or that the Oil & Gas Lobby hired many of the same individuals/organizations involved in the old Tobacco companies campaigns around "Alternative Science/Facts & Messaging".... Not exactly the most honest of type eh? ....

You may also be surprised to know that already 90%+ of new power capacity in the world comes from Renewable Energy because it is not just cleaner it is also cheaper than Hydrocarbon Energy...

Or that Electrification Technology is growing at a rapid rate.

Again it's important to understand that in the U.S. and Canada we have establishment interests with a lot of power to control narratives and that propaganda is not just a "foreign" reality. It is very much here at home and it is very very big business.
