Passend dazu aktuell/demnächst in ausgesuchten Kinos:
SystemChange - A story of growing resistance. Ein Film über kreativen demokratischen Protest in Zeiten der Klimakrise.

Rezension s.z.B.
kino-zeit.de/film-kritiken-tra
"Teils ruhig, teils ergreifend berichtet Regisseur Klaus Sparwasser von der Rodung des Dannenröder Forstes. Im Fokus steht dabei nicht Polizeigewalt oder Schock-Bilder, sondern die Protestant*innen und was sie antreibt."

www.kino-zeit.deSystem Change – A Story of Growing Resistance (2023) | Film, Trailer, KritikBerlin Utopiekadaver (2024), Vergiss Meyn Nicht (2023), Lützerath (2024), die Liste geht weiter. Es ist kein Zufall, dass wir Filmjahre voller Protest-Dokumentarfilme erleben. Sozial, ökonomisch und in puncto Klima befinden wir uns an einem Kipppunkt. Wie eine der Protestantinnen in System Change sagt: „Es ist nicht schwarz und weiß, jedes Gramm CO₂ zählt“.

Feels cathartic to read the words for this endless rage, frustration, and sadness.

Action is necessary because it is where hope comes from.

This is an important piece from Tim Winton.

" Our dependence on AC, in fact, masks the true scope and scale of the challenges we face.

In the end, addressing the climate crisis is not about building better technology. It’s much bigger than that. We need to rebuild our world. Fast-rising temperatures and more extreme weather are forcing us to rethink everything about how we live – where we get our energy, how we grow our food, how we build our cities, and, mostly importantly, who we vote for. "

We're releasing today another bonus clip from behind the Patreon paywall. This originally was produced by Christina as a bonus clip to follow the early release of S5E5; supporters on Patreon at the Companion tier and higher gain access to bonus content that is either excerpted from episodes or prompted by their content every other week. Here is the original description:

"Although the talk I (Christina) had with Paweł in S5E5 about tech and solarpunk narratives ran on the long side, I didn't feel like there was anything I could chop out and use as a bonus clip. Instead, I decided to think about 100 years of progress and about how useful it can be to think about 100 years of progress.

We can get a lot done in 100 years!

Have a look for a few examples to perhaps inspire you to start thinking about 100 years as a goalpost to aim for in terms of making change. Because those BIG changes that we need to make no longer seem impossible on the scale of 100 years. Which is to say, we don't need to do everything all at once, we just need to start doing things and make reasonably steady progress."

#Capitalism is a cancer, and the deeper you dive into the rabbit hole, the more deception, lies, and ploys do you find at the core of the system that dominates our modern world. Recently I stumbled upon this great research paper of Dylan Sullivan and Jason Hickel (@jasonhickel), called "Capitalism and extreme poverty: A global analysis of real wages, human height, and mortality since the long 16th century"
(You can read the full paper here: sciencedirect.com/science/arti)

These two gentlemen methodically and rationally take apart the entire hoax about #capitalism having historically improved living standards for the people under its influence, demasking it as a blatant lie.

-----------------------------

"As for the impact of capitalism on human welfare: data on wages, human height and mortality indicate that the rise and expansion of the capitalist world-system from circa 1500 caused a decline in nutritional standards and health outcomes. Recovery from this prolonged condition of crisis occurred only recently: the late 19th century in Northwest Europe and the mid-20th century in the periphery.

If one starts from the assumption that extreme poverty is the natural state of humanity, then it may appear as good news that only a fraction of the global population lives in extreme poverty today. However, if extreme poverty is a sign of severe social dislocation, relatively rare under normal conditions, then it should concern us that - despite many instances of progress since the middle of the 20th century - such dislocation remains so prevalent under contemporary capitalism. Depending on the subsistence basket one uses to measure poverty, as of 2008, between 200 million and 1.21 billion people live in extreme poverty[...]."

----------------------------

As the paper proves and going by many other indicators and research done on #capitalism, the system doesn't view poverty as problem to be solved, but rather as a desired state of people and countries.

#Colonialism (now #neocolonialism) was built on the premise of a few rich and powerful exploiting aborigines and their land to enrich themselves while catering to a lowly and vulgar superiority complex. This continues all the way into modern times, where colonialists (now in the shape of multi-national corporations) extort resources from economically-weaker countries to feed their shareholders. For colonialism poverty plays a key role to keep the local population on a tight leash. After all, those who struggle to make a living have no time to think of rising against their oppressors, right?

But, this isn't limited to international relations either.

Take the US, the land of the free which embraces the capitalist mindset the most, for example (of course the same applies to all other capitalist countries but sadly the US is furthest down the line when it comes to implementing the worst aspects of capitalism).

Here you have companies artificially keeping a certain percentage of citizens poor because those people can then be used as leverage against the working citizens. #Poverty is being weaponized as a threat and as a state to be frowned upon. But, because of the social shunning and capitalist outlet labeling poverty as proof of "laziness", the 38 million poor Americans (figure according to US Government for 2021) cannot fight back. They're busy trying to survive. In a land that can fork over 900 billion dollars for its annual defense budget.
And to make clear that the US isn't an outlier with this either, Germany (my current homeland) has 17 million poor people (according to the Paritätische Sozialverband) - a country that has no problem spending billions to subsidize big corporations during Covid.

As such, you can see that capitalists and the governments steered by them have no interest in resolving the issue of poverty. Instead, they artificially create it to use it as a tool to extort ever more money from other countries and their own citizens.

Thanks for reading all the way to the end. I feel addressing poverty is a very important topic because the poor (of which I used to be part at some points of my life) don't have enough of a voice in media, politics, or anywhere else.
