#globalnorth — Public Fediverse posts

Instead of focusing on making attacks on immigrants, governments of developed countries should ask themselves what they do to help developing countries to improve their situation which results in forcing people to migrate.

It's easy to attack people, but it's hard to actually offer help to repair the damage that was done by colonization and exploitation.

Why People Killed By Aerial Bombing Don't Matter

The West’s monopoly over this most lethal violence has conditioned how we see the victims of bombs – if we see them at all.

Germany inches towards martial law through mandated Russophobia

To enforce its war policy, the EU and Germany rely on repression. Journalists, humanitarian workers, and cultural institutions are targeted – which means all of us.

I can't stop laughing at the vid of #Xi & #Trump at recent #ASEAN meetings. Xi totally looked like he was on a forced play date with someone he hates & he couldn't wait for it to be over 🤣😂

Trump is called #KingOfPoop in several Chinese & Vietnamese communities 💩👑💩
Which pretty much means - he's full of crap & not to be trusted.

Something to remember & is known to most Asians. Chinese leaders like Xi - will stay mostly silent & let wankerbutternoodles run their mouths, knowing wankerbutternoodles will screw themselves over, talking too much & doing too little. MAGA are good at being hella loud & recklessly unprepared for the future. Chinese are good at being highly organized & well prepped for the future.

Climate Disaster Survivors in the Global South Take Legal Action Against European Carbon Majors

New cases seeking compensation for loss and damage have been launched against fossil fuel and cement companies in the U.K. and Germany on behalf of people in the Philippines and Pakistan who suffered through devastating typhoons and floods…

More children means more pollution, and yet developed countries are trying to increase birth rates to sustain economic ponzi schemes at the expense of the environment.

You will, maybe, understand more, about why so many people in #Vietnam fully support #FreePalestine much more. I feel like #Palestinians are resistance brothers & sisters. I'm far from alone with those feelings, across the globe. Especially with fellow survivors of #USAMilitary #bombings on our peoples, villages & cities.

@glynmoody every word @monadoll said is demonstrably true. We decided to leave the #PPEU/ #PPI charade: https://www.pirateparty.gr/2025/06/ppgr-12thcongress-decisions-resignation-from-ppeu-ppi/

This was the straw that broke the camel's back: https://www.pirateparty.gr/2025/05/the-leadership-of-the-european-pirate-party-casts-doubt-on-pirates-right-to-criticize-party-officials/

Our patience was sorely tested. Make no mistake: the downfall of the #PPEU and #PPI is the fault of the German "Pirates". Theirs, and the #GlobalNorth parties' that are - to put it mildly - like-minded. Also, Rick Falkvinge has become a mouthpiece for #neofascism lately.

'Planet Wreckers': 4 Rich Nations Plotting Nearly 70% of New Oil and Gas Over Next Decade | Common Dreams

This is not just hypocrisy," said one climate campaigner. "It is a death sentence for communities on the frontlines of the #ClimateCrisis."

Brett Wilkins
Jun 16, 2025

"Four wealthy nations—the #UnitedStates, #Canada, #Norway, and #Australia—account for the majority of planned oil and gas expansion over the next decade, according to new data published by #OilChangeInternational on Monday, the first day of the #BonnClimateChangeConference in Germany.

"Oil Change's analysis, titled #PlanetWreckers, notes that if those four #GlobalNorth nations stopped their planned new oil and gas extraction, 32 billion tons of carbon pollution would stay in the ground instead of being burned and released into the atmosphere, where they fuel planetary heating. That's the equivalent of three times the annual global emissions created by burning coal.

" 'A handful of the world's richest nations remain intent on leading us into disaster. This is not just hypocrisy. It is a death sentence for communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis,' Oil Change International global policy lead Romain Ioualalen said in a statement Monday.

"It is sickening that countries with the highest incomes and outsized historical responsibility for causing the climate crisis are planning massive oil and gas expansion with no regard for the lives and livelihoods at stake," Ioualalen added."

#8billion people live on this planet now. The multiple ecological crises we are facing, however, is not caused by the quantity of that number, but by one specific quality: #overconsumption in some parts of those 8 billion, predominantly in the #GlobalNorth (to which China and most Gulf countries now also belong). And this over-consumption is caused by an unchecked capitalist economic system that knows no boundaries. So don't discriminate people today, criticize #capitalism instead.
