  1. Global South & the TDG

    Many people in the Global South are too busy trying to through their impoverished day. They are too traumatized to build a new democracy.

    Many people in the Global North spend their spare time watching entertainment. They have the resources to build a new democracy:

    Then that democracy will be a good example for the Global South.

  2. 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.

  3. Global South & the TDG

    Many world citizens are living very difficult lives. We should not expect them to build the TDG.

    Many of in the Global North have comfortable lives. This comfort will give us time and energy to build the TDG.

    Then we can teach this way to the rest of the world:

    It is an awesome responsibility.

  4. Traveling to an unequal country is one thing; living there is another. I've met many Europeans and Americans who travel extensively, including to countries in the Global South.

    Some seem to genuinely care about inequalities and their consequences, and are thoughtful about these issues. However, it's a very different thing to start a project far from the turmoil and not have firsthand experience or understanding of the obstacles that might appear under those circumstances.

    I've only met a few people who grew up in a privileged country and understand that. As a white man from a lower middle-class background, I acknowledge that I don't fully understand what minorities in Brazil endure. However, I still clearly remember how harmful violence in a country like Brazil can be.

  5. It's a sad world when we have to pay such attention to the nonsense of this vile, small man, who was able to conquer immense power because our societies allowed it.

    Meanwhile, some brave and skilled political leaders are trying to change our unequal world, but no one hears about them, especially if they're from a country in the Global South. Not to forget that some poor regions of the world are connected to the history of colonization, slavery, and genocide. Which wouldn't be surprising if it were taught superficially in the Global North. Is it?

  6. Global South & the TDG

    Those of us who have relatively calm political climates should build a new democracy to show the rest of the world how this new democracy works:

  7. I know the catastrophe of the here and now is occupying everyone's mind; still, we need to understand the long-term trend leading to this moment, and we must perceive its future trajectory; so this January 2024 analysis is worth studying.

  8. Hype for the Future 48A: International Flags of Interest

    World History Since the vast majority of the modern world is dictated by the European continent, the vast majority of nations to be featured shall be focused on the Global North, including Europe as well as the former colonies perceived as more prestigious in the modern context. Unfortunately, the exploitation in modern capitalism is often associated with such Global Northern countries, while the Global Southern countries are often the recipients of the exploitation, unfortunately.

  9. I don’t mind using the terms "Global North" and "Global South" to distinguish between nations that accumulated power, historically, kingdoms and empires, and those that were exploited by them.

    These terms capture the arrogance with which powerful societies have judged others as "barbaric," even though their wealth was built on the exploitation of peoples across the world.

    This small corner of the planet has exterminated civilizations, erased cultures, enslaved entire continents, started two world wars, and left behind some of the most shameful chapters in human history. Its institutions still claim cultural superiority, and museums display artifacts stolen from the societies they oppressed.

    The artificial borders drawn by imperial powers continue to cause suffering today.

    Is there a better term to describe the self-appointed lords of the world?

  16. Moderating a panel next week and asked participants to send presentations in advance.

    The two #globalsouth panelists sent them in not only in advance, but wonderful, detailed presentations.

    The two #globalnorth panelists? Sent them not only late, but half-hone, bare-bones presentations that they promised to "finish before the panel"

    I feel like this is a metaphor for something...

  17. 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.

  18. 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…

  19. 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.

  20. 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.

  26. @glynmoody every word @monadoll said is demonstrably true. We decided to leave the #PPEU/ #PPI charade: pirateparty.gr/2025/06/ppgr-12

    This was the straw that broke the camel's back: pirateparty.gr/2025/05/the-lea

    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.

  28. #Pedophiles & #WomenBeaters aka #Femicide wannabes get away with treating kids & women like cattle so much in #GlobalNorth that they have zero problems going overseas to buy, rape, torture & kill marginalized kids/women in far away countries. It was always evil. It was always wrong. There is very little justice given to countless victims, across the globe.
