3. The #assholocene is upon us:
"Sweden is escalating the crackdown on immigrant rights, planning to revoke residency permits based on "bad behaviour". its intent is to create one of Europe’s most hostile environments for non-Europeans."
"Hostile environment for non-Europeans..." 🤬

And the concept of the #assholocene is gaining increasing traction. Robert Reich
calls it "the age of super assholes.Trump and Musk are dominating our economy and our politics, which tells us something about the era we're living through."

That the world's first ever trillionaire is ALSO a white supremacist, a shameless asshole whose decisions to kill USAID & PEPFAR will cost millions their lives, who cooperates with those fascists for whom other fascists aren't fascist enough is the perfect sign that we live in the #assholocene.

"In the wake of gutting #USAID, Trump is rolling out a new “America First" global health / foreign aid strategy: granting money in return for data.
Critics have likened this to a form of digital & genomic colonialism."
In the #assholocene, open #colonialism is back!

After #Venezuela and #Greenland, after #Gaza and in light of Trump's "Board of Peace" full of racist, genocidal, corrupt, dictatorial war criminal maniacs...
After all that: is there still any doubt in your minds that we DO live in the #assholocene?

There's more & more recognition of #assholisation/ the coming out of the #assholesociety:
"The president’s inability to tell right from wrong (aka assholery) fuels his increasingly dictatorial, illegal and erratic behaviour."
Welcome to the #assholocene.

Welcome to the #assholocene, where our activism must change fundamentally. Tactical escalation produces more irrationality and assholery, while not escalating leads to nothing at all. Nothing we can do will lead society to make rational and ethical choices.
We must *prepare* for the worst.

#ClimateDiary Just realised fhat I still needed to officially introduce #Assholocene here to #ClimateDiary (as a term that needs noting)
I thought this was coined by you,
@muellertadzio, along with the equally pertinent #arschlochgesellschaft, but now googled it and not sure who invented it? At any rate: best descriptor of our age to me! Trump, SUVs, private jets, fascism, climate denial, anti net zero mobilising, Venezuela and all. -

2. "And so we arrive at our current era of rudeness, or as German activist Tadzio Müller calls it: the #assholocene. Old powers that were long past their sell-by date are striking back twice as hard in an attempt to retain their power."

Do we live in the "anthropocene"?
No.
Climate justice: dead
Environmental protection: overboard
Multilateralism: practically dead
International law: comatose
Equal rights: retreating
Queer rights: climaxed
Human rights: soon overThis is: the #assholocene.

The climate is collapsing, & ignoring #climatecollapse is a vote winner.
We no longer live in the anthropocene, but the #assholocene.
Shame, guilt & failure are now central drivers of politics, rationality is over.
And while I know it's annoying: I did tell you so.

Wir erleben gerade den ersten Bundestagswahlkampf, in dem vor allem um die Stimmen der (im Arschlochrepräsentationsdefizit des dt. Parteiensystems unterrepräsentierten) #Arschlochgesellschaft gerungen wird.
Er ist in dem Sinne ein Vorgeschmack auf die Zukunft im #assholocene.

Friends don't let friends be assholes.
Brace yourselves for #Assholocene

American men obviously just don't have the balls to vote a woman president.
One symptom of #Assholocene in the era of Told You So.

@unir <3
#Assholocene ...
Klar, Arschlöcher gibt es überall und ich muss mir eingestehen, daß ich mitunter selbst eins bin - da gibt es nirgends für nie*mensch was schönzureden.
Darüber reden und was dagegen tun, um miese Erfahrung wenigstens in nützliche Lebenszeit zu verwandeln, muss sein.

#Assholocene - entering the next phase in the era of told you so.

I absolutely agree; I think Narcissism will be our undoing as a species. This video is a pretty succinct summation of how assholes threaten our existence. We’re currently in the #Assholocene
era because we’ve allowed too many assholes to gain power and run amok without consequences.https://youtu.be/x3zaA6BA_ls?si=9OTAe3HZ3uGigUYg

These: Rationalität & Ethik enden da, wo Verdrängung beginnt.
Beweisstück 1: die "Klimadebatte" & die um das #Klimaschutzgesetz.
Beweisstück 2: die "Israel/ #Gaza -Debatte", dh, die Reaktionen in Israel-mit-Waffen-et-al-unterstützenden Ländern auf friedliche Studidemonstrationen.

Wenn das EP heute die neue #GEAS - gemeinsame europäische Asylpolitik - beschließt, bedeutet das, dass die *Mitte* die Festung Europa ausbaut, um die zu schwächen, die diesen Ausbau fordert.
Nur hat das bisher noch nie geklappt. Willkommen im #assholocene.

Die *Bekämpfung von Fluchtursachen* spielt für die EU keine Rolle. Ziel ist, schutzsuchende Menschen um jeden Preis fernzuhalten."

The only reason why "the guardians of the world’s geological timescale have firmly rejected a proposal to declare an #Anthropocene epoch" (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/mar/22/geologists-reject-declaration-of-anthropocene-epoch) is that they were waiting for the chance to vote on my alternative term: the #assholocene 😂
