Re- #introduction

Hello to all the new people joining the Fediverse! I'm a activist programmer from #Helsinki.

I try to toot interesting things related to #activism about #ClimateChange / #ClimateCrisis / #EarthBreakdown, from the perspective of #degrowth / #ClimateJustice / #sustainability. I'm one tiny part of #ExtinctionRebellion.

I build #FOSS / #OpenSource / #commons and #ConvivialSoftware using #rust and will write more about that soon.

Third, occasionally #philosophy, #anticapitalism.

@lil5 In my view, #EarthBreakdown is a vastly interconnected problem caused by our destructive economy and ideals on what is a desirable mode of living.

COP is a place where the (in)actions of the previous year for only one part of the problem, are summed. The work needs to have already be done, or delayed, before the meeting.

From this analysis of the problem, overshadowing greenwashing to build solidarity between the climate movement and other counter-hegemonic struggles is a good tradeoff.

To have a chance to stop #EarthBreakdown, we who benefit from IML need to have the courage to re-evaluate our entire way of life.

Not only is IML ethically corrupt, to claim "I can enjoy my imperial lifestyle but you can never hope to get the same" isn't politically possible.

Hello new followers! I've been bad at hashtags, which are crucial here for discoverability, so here's some of them.

Reading this article by Farhana Sultana on #ClimateJustice was so powerful in so many ways.

I got a long list of references on the many different viewpoints to #EarthBreakdown and colonialism.

I was philosophically challenged by the strong arguments for plurality of not only views and practices but knowledge, instead of seeking universality.

I was emotionally moved by the personal journal entries, skillfully included in an academic text.

Heartily recommended!

Green growth – claim that we can both keep growing GDP and stop #EarthBreakdown – is a myth. This was echoed by #IPCC based on robust empirical evidence from ecological economics.

For those who still refuse to let go, this report found out that

"[T]here are not enough minerals in the currently reported global reserves to build just one generation of batteries for all EV’s and stationary power storage, in the global industrial ecosystem as it is today."

#Degrowth now!

Great to see scientists like @ClimateHuman taking part in our #ScientistRebellion next week and willing to risk arrest to stress we are in #ClimateEmergency.

Many more have joined. And you?
