Carbon trading multiplies domination:
"It's not really a carbon trading problem. It's an issue with the land rights that haven't been agreed first.""Protecting one forest area can push logging, agriculture, clearing into another location."

'Who gets to define the domain — "the international", "the economy", "society" — shapes who gets to define the problem and the solution. I call it "domain differentiation".'

Perhaps the greatest difference between European settlement and Aboriginal Australia can be summed up in a single idea.
Europeans largely believed they owned the land.
Aboriginal Australians believed the land entrusted itself to their care.
There is profound wisdom in that distinction.
Ownership asks, “What can I take?”
Caretaking asks, “What must I leave behind for those who come after me?”Read Michael Taylor: https://theaimn.net/what-if-the-highest-achievement-of-a-civilisation-is-not-what-it-leaves-behind-but-what-it-leaves-intact/

The weathers, they are a-changing.
We can make sense of pattern evolution.

The underside of the US independence struggle.
There was a "growing conviction among American colonists that as a British colony they would eventually be compelled to emancipate enslaved people – and that this prospect became one of the drivers behind the American war of independence."

"The health of Indigenous lands and their ability to store vast quantities of carbon stem from the stewardship of the people who inhabit them."
"Respondents from a wide range of countries, including Bolivia, Mexico, and the Philippines, mentioned using community monitoring or patrols to protect their land from outsiders and violations of traditional protocol."
"New research […] also reveals a dangerous misconception that has taken hold in global climate discussions: the idea that Indigenous lands are so rich because they are remote or sparsely populated."

How cultural institutions subtly silence and exclude writers, in the guise of concern or responsibility, to censor and “reshape[s] what other writers feel able to say, and what audiences are permitted to hear”.

"Long before today's attacks on leftist politicians and Palestine solidarity movements, Zionist leaders sold their movement as a defence against socialism and communism."

"The French protests over the killing of Nahel Merzouk have not changed the brutal policing of Black and Arab youth in the banlieues.
"The BRAV-M has not been dismantled. The police Alliance has not had its grip on power broken. The far right still threatens to break through the firewall.
"We can ask why more people aren't doing more, and how do we organize and break through the complacency that defines white American culture.
"I'm not sure I would be looking to Western European neocolonial powers for shining examples though.
"We don't need to look to France or the Netherlands for a resistance blueprint, we have Black and indigenous radical resistance movements here in the US with an unbroken 500+ year history.
"We really need to center whiteness less and learn to develop some humility and solidarity."

Wieland Hoban explains #philosemitism in Germany:
"It’s very difficult to have a general sense of Jews as ordinary people who are part of the country’s population. Many people have an image frozen in time of Jews as the victims of the Nazis, who were the parents or grandparents of many Germans."In some cases, this leads to an over-compensation which means that people want to have a particularly favourable idea of Jews. They make a point of doing what they think is supporting Jews. Including supporting Israel, going on holiday in Israel, or cultivating connections to Israel thinking this somehow revives Jewishness."

The Guardian shows "the same patterns of systemic bias, deliberate distortion and deceptive underreporting" as other British mainstream media:

"The magazine’s politics were what passes for center-left in the United States. […] The operating orthodoxy was that police killings, CIA coups, black site torture, and institutional misogyny were aberrations, deviations from the American norm that would eventually be corrected when the arc of the moral universe, long as it is, finally got around to them."

"Solidarity can not truly exist until non-white people see the ways they are complicit with and benefit from silencing Black voices, narrowing Black narratives and ultimately denying Black realities. As non-white people, we are used to gauging ourselves in terms of our proximity to whiteness."

"The recent wave of symbolic recognitions that began in 2024 now appears to be the only step many European powers are willing to take in the face of genocide, following nearly two years of moral, material, and diplomatic support for the Israeli regime as well as near-total impunity."
Why now? What political or strategic interests? https://al-shabaka.org/roundtables/statehood-without-liberation-europes-response-to-genocide/
Yara Hawari: "This kind of recognition is not just ineffective—it is dangerous. It reinforces a narrow partitionist framework that reduces “Palestine” to the West Bank and Gaza and the Palestinian people to less than half of who we are."

"Germany is open about its uninhibited support for Israel‘s war of extermination and genocide in Palestine, and wants to make sure the entire world sees it."
"Establishment forces have translated Holocaust remembrance chiefly as support for Israel, elevating its protection to a German Staatsraison (national interest) coupled with zero tolerance for criticism of Israel, which is automatically treated as antisemitism".

"If Your Party is to be a genuinely decentralised organisation, then its Scottish and Welsh parties should be separate legal entities. They alone should decide their policy on Independence.
"I suspect that a fudge will be attempted, whereby Your Party supports “the right of the Scottish people to decide”. That is frankly no use to anyone, and proceeds from an assumption that permission has to be granted.
"The right of the Scottish nation to self-determination is established in international law. It is not a policy just to state it.
"The support for Genocide in Palestine is not a bug, it is a feature of the rogue British state. That imperialist entity needs to be broken up."

"We should first examine how colonisation works to decivilise the coloniser, to literally dumb them down, to degrade them, to awaken them to buried instincts, to greed, to violence, to racial hatred, to ethical relativism."

"People are astonished, people are indignant. People say: "How strange! But, bah! It's Nazism, it'll pass! And people wait, and hope; and people hide the truth to themselves – that it's barbarism, but the supreme barbarism, the one that crowns, the one that sums up the everyday barbarities; that it's Nazism, yes, but that before being its victims, people were its accomplices; that people put up with this Nazism before suffering it, people absolved it, people turned a blind eye to it, people legitimised it, because until then it had only been applied to non-European peoples; that people nurtured this Nazism, people are responsible for it, and that it bubbles, that it pierces, that it drips, before engulfing people in its reddened waters, from all the cracks in the Western and Christian civilisation."

"The Zionist produces and defines itself through the animalization of the Palestinian."
"Palestinian liberation is an impossibility in the current ordering of knowledge and being, similarly demanding through its realization the end of […] this world, and modernity."
This paper "posits that Palestinian freedom necessitates the creation of new worlds and [the getting rid of encumbering] constructs such as modernity and the Human."
