Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ Tariffs Are Coming, but at a Cost to U.S. Alliances in c/politics@lemmy.world

EU, Canada, NZ, Japan, Australia should all move much closer. The UK made their choice to be by themsleves so I'd not bother with them.

As an Australian I'd love for us to try to join the EU, even though lately theu seem to have moved more pants on head inasne with AfD and the other right wing parties in Austria, France, Sweden etc.

Hexbear is back? What's the lore? in c/fediverselore@lemmy.ca
[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago

don't see people in there praising putin or uncritically accepting every action that non capitalist governments do. What i do see is a lot of challenging the standard western capitalist propaganda narrative.

That's nearly all I've seen. It appears to me much of the fault lies with critique by US American in particular who seem beyond nuance in politics (not having multiple political parties is perhaps the reason for that), you can be anti Putin (who is a complete cnut, that doeat mean ebery sungle russian is) and anti US (who are now complete cnuts for who they elected but doesn't mean every single citizen is).

I like seeing the points of view so long may you continue!

As to pollition

The problem with the soft apocalypse is that it is still an apocalypse. It still ends in collapse. We tell ourselves we have time, that the worst is always just ahead, that we will act when we must

Are people in the US aware that they are now definitely a rogue state, or is this fact covered up by the usual patriotism somehow? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

For most of the democratic world, the US Democrats are right wing, like Canada, Australian mainstream. conservatives are to then left of the Democrats..eg it was Australians mainstream right wing party that brought in compararively draconian gun laws (by US standards)

I read this and think societal collapse from climate change is a good thing, might force a reset.

Global warming is moving faster than the best models can keep a handle on

Weren't there a whole bunch of hot models that were discarded becase they were "too scary" ?

Rees bluntly states, “the human enterprise is effectively subsuming the ecosphere” and “wide-spread societal collapse cannot be averted — collapse is not a problem to be solved, but rather the final stage of a cycle to be endured.”
