Climate Justice Politics: some notes

#ClimateJustice politics is, I quote, "in opposition to a failing capitalist system [do you mean an allocation system?/ whatareyougoingtodoinstead?], recognising that such a system is racist, patriarchal, exploitative [yes, but who please is trying to do what? (and who is faking?), mmm, i wonder. And so, please, what is it like in your country / home?] and driven by a logic of imperial ecocide [is it that, in small measure surely, but in extremely large portion it is driven by "it will feed my .." (see below)?]. Through this recognition, climate justice asserts that the victims of capitalism’s oppressions are not going to pay the cost for more of the same."

[This is, in fact AFAICT, a libellous #BlameSomebodyElse / #BlameTheOTHER incitement. As you are (deceived, i imagine) into a #StartAWar strategy. Of someone else, who? While blaming someone else is great to rally the #troops, I suggest it does nothing that will help or address the v v real #problems.]

Development, and Resource Exploitation, Selling or/and Making things, arises from?

• - it will feed my family?
• - it will pay my pension?
• - it will make me rich?

Hence:

• - 380 million tonnes of humans,
• - 470 million tonnes of cattle/like,
• - 140 million tonnes of pigs,
• - 110 million tonnes of sheep/horse/etc,
• - 50 million tonnes of wild mammals,

"Climate Justice Politics will be": [it is hoped?]

• #democratic
• #indigenous
• #spiritual
• #africanist
• #popular
• #consciousness to "new" reality
• #solidarity struggles

Which will give the "programmatic mandate", "role", and "orientation", "from the masses" ~ [but whatifwedon'tknow?, or maybe .. ifwedontlike?], being the "social forces" leading to -> "programmatic + mass-based transformation". Which is the "alternative to techno-fixes (nuclear/market)".

"Climate Justice Politics is against":

• NOT !Monopoly [why?: this sounds like you feel "markets" (competing sellers) are sometimes helpful? otherwise this is internally incoherent]
• NOT !ecocidal [yes: we are all wilfully blind, in the extreme, to anything other than own interests, as in ".. it will pay my / etc .."]
• NOT !transnational [bethlehem/bao/peabody?; & demand = i will pay a lot for ../ + #insist and go into #incandescent rage if i don't get it (mmm.. unhh-ohhh!?)]

Some people, I quote, "occlude systemic understandings" [yes indeed: abuse..hurt..deaththreats..murderedfriendsrelatives..+..not-reply/dont-answer] ..who? ..why?

"a Radical Transformation is required in": [yes, absolutely]

• - energy
• - production
• - consumption
• - everyday life

That is "-> #systemic-reforms, in just #deeptransformation"

"Using, through":

• #commons
• #zerowaste [humans, how much waste is intentional, by either consumers or manufacturers? vs incentivised by profit (pay-the-bills/imperative?)]
• #nationalized-utils [= monopolies (in a way!); what will they try to do?]
• #democratic-planning [nimby; status-quo-bias; myopia; distractions; appealing-fantasy's (like this); liars/defectors/cheats (incentives/rewards?)]
• #participatory-budget [experience/tests: bello horizon? above? / .. i'm not sure]

"Not the following, which are failed strategies":

• #greenparty
• #state
• #party

"Based on":

• - democracy
• - values
• - coops
• - education / openscience
• ..
• - food sovereign
• - public ownership/coops [what are they trying to do?]
• - UBI [everybody? .. mmm?]

[it has to be ... ?]

Why would indigenous youth steal CARS?

Theft of cars by youth of the First Nation (indigenous people) was a persistent social feature of life in Western Australia when I lived there. On one occasion, I found I could not drive to work on my first day, as the car had been stolen. They are easy to steal, as you sell more cars that way - and so get a better RoI / salary / working conditions from $GM (errm, this is a perverse incentive: why no action?). The young people (indigenous) who stole it were caught by the police and prosecuted (and fined AU$50, if I remember, if it was paid, if they could pay it), and I got the car back with some good beach towels in it. They must have been going to the beach.

A friend's much smarter large car was stolen (by local indigenous youths) for such "joy-riding" that the gearbox later burnt out.

At one time in Perth some police were believed to have been assassinating (mostly indigenous) joy-riders, by contriving high-speed chases such that the youth indulging in the chase with police crashed. They did not wear seatbelts. Some police also died while car racing (once when racing from the beach to King's Park, in amazing time but sadly hit a tree, the car broke in half).

Some white male's with extremely limited cognitive capacity, like others, do the same and spend lengthy periods in jail. Only to steal vehicles again and again on release. (In cases reported by #ABCradio).

Why do they steal cars? What "meaning", "identity" and "satisfaction" do they get from it: adverts (and "placement" eg Rebel Without A Cause (James Dean)); instincts (for autonomy, capability, status); peers; leaders (role models)?

A cultural practice, known as "Bog Lapping", may also be noteworthy, among (mostly young) men - often of minority ethnic background and the industrial workforce (could i venture "working class", as as far as I know it was not an elite* practice). In which the males drove slowly around and around the block in front of cafe's in the port of Fremantle and Kwinana. In "sporty" (embellished) cars that were often very loud, powerful, and fairly fast (within of course the constraints, of a primates reaction time, and motor-coordination abilities). Sometimes accompanied by young ladies, and-or getting their attention.

Panel vans with a 'bed' fitted in the rear, were very popular among the same in Hobart at one time. A symbol of great status (and mating opportunity, one might venture).

It may be of interest that "bog lapping" (and all similar, or details) is a PROSCRIBED search term (for which "DogFood" results are returned), about which no information - a complete blank in terms of knowledge - is returned (to me?), for some reason. Why, who (cosy auto corruption, maybe)?
