The era that all us "naive & idealistic #TreeHuggers" said would arrive if we didn't embrace sustainability is now upon us.
Turns out that the naive idealists are actually the #Capitalists who preach the dogma of infinite #Growth.
Time for a reality check, #WallStreet.

i'm sidestepping pro- / anti- capitalist arguments
i'm saying #capitalism is dead
there is the fantasy foundational belief of " #freeMarkets"
they have always been manipulated
(especially with #regulations removed, which #capitalists always seem excited to do, resulting in the biggest players controlling it)
#plutocracy replaced capitalism
idiots didn't notice
they merely adopted a lie:
"this is capitalism!"
behavior: not capitalism, just licking plutocrat boots
-
it's rigged
#capitalists have been screaming " #COMMUNISM! #SOCIALISM! WHARGARBBBL..." as a fearmongered threat since forever. communism died in 1989
the truth is #capitalism *is* being killed
by #plutocracy
and because they don't care, don't notice, or are paid enough to not care, "capitalist" idiots have turned into plutocrat and #oligarch bootlickers without awareness or concern
it's a complete farce
and it's going to meet a reckoning
truth vs delusion is playing out

I recently binge-watched the latest season of A&E's "HOARDERS" on Netflix. Sadly, I've known six hoarders as close friends during my lifetime, and perhaps more.

Essay - How the climate conversation went punk
From #SlowFashion to #GuerrillaGardening, the internet has transformed solarpunk, a literary movement, into an alternative lifestyle trend.
Written by Sonal Gupta
Mumbai | Updated: November 20, 2025Excerpt: "In 2020, #SolarPunkFarms cropped up in California as a #communal living space whose inhabitants grow and share their own food. The leftovers are sent to local markets. They have designed their #greenhouse after the animations of #HayaoMiyazaki. In fact, the works of the #StudioGhibli founder have found resonance among solarpunks, as he places nature as a character in his plots. In his visions, nature is at its most beautiful—lush greenery, rays of light, the dew on leaves, and the wind blowing life into trees.
"Though these changes are encouraging, it’s ironic that as we move past dystopian visions, the #capitalists of the world, running in the #AI race, threaten to steer us to the very future. The use of AI itself depletes water resources and generates immense amounts of greenhouse gases and electronic waste. If we are to live in a world where technology exists in harmony with #nature, #activists, stakeholders, and individuals must actively call for more #SustainableSolutions, #AffirmativeAction, and policy changes.
"If cyberpunk warned us of what happens when technology consumes humanity, solarpunk invites us to imagine what is possible when humanity reclaims technology. It reminds us that hope, like sunlight, is a renewable resource too."

My favorite part is when @dkthomp.bsky.social is asked about critiques of #WealthConcentration he goes straight to "not all #corporations are bad." Dude: what about rapacious #capitalists hoarding wealth? Surely we can all agree that's bad!! @podsaveamerica.crooked.com @waleedshahid.bsky.social

Dirty Water and Dead Rice: The Cost of the #CleanEnergy Transition in Rural #Minnesota
#Mining the critical minerals needed for electric vehicle (#EV) #batteries could threaten local water supply and #IndigenousCulture.
By Karina Atkins
November 21, 2023"More than 250 years ago, the #Ojibwe people, one of the largest Indigenous populations in North America, received a prophecy to migrate westward until they reached the land where food grows on water.
"When the #MilleLacsBand of Ojibwe encountered wild rice in north-central Minnesota, they knew they found their new home. Rice harvesting has been a cornerstone of Ojibwe culture ever since.
"Today, mining exploration company #TalonMetals, also has its sights set on Minnesota. Some of the world’s richest high-grade #nickel and #copper deposits are thousands of feet below the state colloquially known as 'the land of 10,000 lakes.'
"Talon seeks to construct a mine in the rural town of Tamarack, which it says will be integral to building the nation’s domestic supply of materials necessary for a clean energy transition.
"Nickel and copper are key components of rechargeable #lithium ion (#LION) batteries that are widely used for low-emission technologies like electric vehicles (EVs). The company already has an agreement to supply #Tesla with nickel from its proposed mine, potentially bringing hundreds of unionized mining jobs to this rural area.
"The federal government has also recognized nickel and copper as 'essential to national defense,' adding them to the U.S. critical minerals list in 2022 and 2023, respectively. And, this September, the Department of Defense awarded Talon a $20.1 million matching grant to continue searching for deposits throughout the #LakeSuperior region.
"However, #SulfideMining, the type that would happen at Tamarack, has a poor #environmental track record. The Mille Lacs Band and local #environmentalists warn that it could #contaminate nearby #lakes, #streams and #wetlands, threatening the vitality of wild rice and local water supply down the #MississippiRiver.
"As the U.S. strives to be a leader in clean energy transition, the #TamarackProject encapsulates both the promise and challenges that lie ahead.
"The Dangers of Sulfide Mining
"Kelly Applegate, the commissioner of natural resources for the Mille Lacs Band, was shocked when he first saw deep earth imaging of nickel-copper deposits beneath his tribal land in the late 1990s.
A study from the U.S. Geological Survey suggested that the Lake Superior region could have deposits as lucrative as high-yield mines in Canada and Russia.
'Oh my gosh, look at these mineral deposits that may one day be sought out,' he recalls thinking to himself."Two decades later, Talon Metals, a mining company founded by former Canadian venture #capitalists and based in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), applied for a permit with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to create the Tamarack Project just over a mile away from the closest Mille Lacs Band community.

*Petition · Bezos & Rotterdam: Stop the dismantling of historic bridge #ABridgeTooFar*
https://www.change.org/p/bezos-abridgetoofar-stop-the-dismantling-of-historic-bridge
"The super-rich- like #JeffBezos- live in a parallel world, with no restrictions and an above-the-law position.
‘De Hef’ bridge in #Rotterdam dates from 1878 and is one of the first structures in the city to have been repaired after the bombardment during the second world war. Because of this, it became a historical heritage site. After a major renovation in 2017, the municipality of Rotterdam promised that the bridge would never be dismantled again. Now, that promise seems bound to be broken. All because, the richest man in the world, wants to pass his personal mega-yacht through the river in Rotterdam.
It seems, ‘De Hef’ is not dismantled for anyone unless you are extremely rich. ..."
