Es ist völlig belanglos, welche Figur im Kanzleramt sitzt! Der fortschreitende Verlust an Lebensqualität der Vielen wird weitergehen, weil er fest in die Regeln eingeschrieben ist, die die CDU, egal unter welchem Kanzlerdarsteller, mit Klauen und Zähnen und bis auf den letzten Tropfen Blut verteidigen wird.
Es wird nie mehr ein Wirtschaftswachstum wie nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg geben, weil die planetaren Grenzen es unmöglich machen und weil es entgegen der ökonomischen Theorie ein "genug" gibt. Der ständig wachsende Reichtum der besitzenden Klasse muss also durch Umverteilung zustande kommen. Der Mietenwahnsinn, eskalierende Preise und zunehmend dysfunktionale Infrastruktur sind Zeichen dieser Plünderung.
Um das zu stoppen, riecht es nicht, den zugegeben maximal inkompetenten Kanzlerdarsteller auszutauschen, sondern es braucht eine völlig andere Politik. Diese kann nur aus der Zivilgesellschaft kommen, denn keine Partei wird sich trauen, ein solch heißes Eisen anzufassen.

@rmblaber1956 Hey, I read #LtG many years ago. I think some technology is needed, but we should also have lo-tech whenever possible. Have you read any of the follow-ups to #LimitsToGrowth? #Earth4All and #GiantLeap is what's needed now -- with an eye toward preserving and protecting nature.

Came across this article from 2020 that I bookmarked...
#AncientTexts encouraged hope and endurance when they spoke of #EndTimes
Published: April 13, 2020
"Other apocalyptic texts, such as the #Sibylline #Oracles, describe poetically a coming light, a 'life without care,' and a time when the 'earth will belong equally to all.' "
For those not familiar with the #SibylineOracles, this from Encyclopedia Britainnica:
"Sibylline Oracles, collection of oracular prophecies in which Jewish or Christian doctrines were allegedly confirmed by a sibyl (legendary Greek prophetess); the prophecies were actually the work of certain Jewish and Christian writers from about 150 bc to about ad 180."

So, my reason for participating / hosting #Hashtag events like #SolarPunkSunday and #FirstFridayArtWalk is to highlight other folks. Sure, I post some stuff as well. But the way I see it, like #WhatMagazineOnline, it's a communal experience and a way of #BuildingCommunity . Because... We sure as hell need to #UniteAgainstTheRight (and #Colonialism and #Capitalism), right now! We are running out of time, folks.

@cas_group I'm hoping for c) . UNLESS we cause #Colonialism and #Capitalism to go extinct before the collapse. AND utilize #GiantLeap tech (which might involve #AncientTech and #OldSchoolTech).

Non-Fiction Trilogy of sorts - "#TheLimitsToGrowth; #PowerLimitsAndProspectsForHumanSurvival; and #EarthForAllASurvivalGuideForHumanity.
So, my copy of "The Limits To Growth" is a first edition from 1972, which I bought in a used book store in 1980. Whoever owned it before ("Denison") highlighted a bunch of stuff (the old school highlighters that don't fade), and put zig-zag lines around this paragraph: "In any finite system there must be constraints that can act to stop exponential growth. These constraints are negative feedback loops. The negative loops become stronger and stronger as growth approches the ultimate limit, or carrying capacity, of the system's environment. Finally, the negative loops balance or dominate the positive ones, and growth comes to an end. In the world system the negative feedback loops involve such processes as pollution of the environment, depletion of nonrenewable resources, and famine."
Fast forward to 2021, where one of the Limits To Growth authors, #DennisMeadows, describes #RichardHeinberg's "Power - Limits And Prospects for Human Survival" as "a powerful new way of understanding the historic rise and probable fall of our species. It is an impressive, sweeping, and thought-provoking narrative." Heinberg talks about how we got to where we are today (lots of history), but also offers solutions (like #Agroecology and #Degrowth).
Finally, "#EarthForAll - A Survival Guide For Humanity" -- which was a report to the #ClubOfRome, and a 50 year follow-up to Limits To Growth. This book is where I learned about the #GiantLeapScenario that we so need to survive as a species on a viable planet.
Limits To Growth influenced my thinking at a young age. "Power" explains how we went wrong, and "Earth For All" gives me hope for the future.

For next week's #SolarPunkSunday I *hope* to finish up the #SolarPunk jobs list, and will tackle #NaturalHerbicides and #NaturalPesticides (because, pests...!) And, of course, whatever other SolarPunk-related topics that folks want to highlight. Thanks to everyone who participated!

@AlisonCreekside Oh, so Naomi Klein was involved in the 2020 Earth4All initiative! So, it was Naomi who inspired the #GiantLeap scenario! Very cool! Klein's book, "A Survival Guide for Humanity" was instrumental in forming the initiative!
