Slow Down The Climate Change - Tumblr Posts
The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history.

Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.

Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.

Good idea that the next ones are still smarter, but unfortunately the approach is total rubbish.
Climate change is unstoppable and everyone is watching. If you throw a frog into a pot of hot water, it immediately jumps out to save its life.
If you put the same frog in a pot of cold water and then heat the water until it boils, the frog stays in the pot and dies.
The entire society of this world sits in the pot and the water is slowly heated.
Action and not a declaration of intent can save the frogs!
Anyone who only feels facts and doesn't believe science really deserves that their own future family pulls the frog story to the bitter end.
I would never have thought that humans are descended from frogs, but with the perceived facts and truths I have to realise that it is true.
Sometimes I regret my scientific knowledge, it would be so nice to walk around freely through the world of populist propaganda manipulation strategists as a voting livestock.
Why scrutinise everything and compare it with facts from different sources and form your own opinion on this basis. When there are nice populist opinions that always provide someone to blame.

CO2 emissions at a new high
The goal is nothing without serious action, but the lobbyists and the propertied class have no interest in giving up their greed for even more money, resources and power.
Satan more or less
I love the greed of humans but at least you will kill yourself.
Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.

What a unique home it has everything ready for all its inhabitants and offers the best conditions for every form of living creature. Were it not for this one arrogant creature that has taken itself out of the ranks of all living beings and sees itself as the crown of creation.
But it is the grand design joke of evolution, a naked ape with a high level of technical understanding, an upright gait and far too high a potential for aggression and ashy territorial behavior.
Everything is connected to everything else and exists in a highly complex system, but the crowning glory of creation is thinking and existing outside this system of dependencies. The word environment already shows that even linguistically it is not understood or expressed that the human being is part of a system. Russia and China are thinking of a new world order what a joke nature is shitting on everyone's table and changing the situation so that China has more people than food and Russia's forests are burning. All geopolitical games for power and influence will turn into ridiculous monkey business when climate change has reached its point of no return.
The religions always have the idea that the end of the world is a bang, far from it dear people you must know it because you can see it day by day species disappear quietly step by step without a bang and the world does not end. Your actions have already caused so many species to disappear and did you hear a bang when the last freshwater dolphin disappeared in China? No, not Armageddon. So if you don't wipe yourselves out with a bang, there is only dwindling from one generation to the next until the last one is gone.
I am the good that negates and only wants good and yet creates evil. Ultimately, greed has made you disappear and the realization of the inability to understand complex systems and their dependency.
How long do you think the disappearance of humanity will take?
The oceans are full of micro plastics, your drinking water is running out, a large part of the currently still habitable planet is becoming increasingly too hot for you and so on..... by the way, one of the most stupid ideas at the moment is deep sea mining...... that just shows you have no safe word!

It's interesting how all the conservatives and the right-wingers are working on the term woke, a real culture of excitement is being spun around the term.
What kind of bullshit has anyone of the woke people prevented the conservatives and right-wingers from their twisted world view or disturbed them in their daily propaganda?
Does woke interfere with anyone's shopping or daily life?
You get upset about it but climate change being a real threat to future generations is not an issue to get upset about!
Yes, there are criticisms of woke but these are minor compared to the real challenges facing societies.

And what is that supposed to be?
Awake, Not Woke
A Christian Response to the Cult of Progressive Ideology
Mindfulness, woke and kindness is not an ideology but a realisation from the deep love for people and their form in societies to contribute together to the happiness of all.
And should be the basis of business ethics.
And this is the crux of the matter: in the context of globalisation, woke would be a nightmare for many global corporations and also for their shareholders. They have to eliminate injustice in the form of exploitation and environmental destruction at all levels, which would be good for the world, but not in the sense of the highly praised profit maximisation.
This is the real background to the uproar that is being staged against wokeness.
The Christian religion has proven throughout its history that it is anti-woke. Witch burnings, slavery, persecution of those who think differently, absolute obedience to dictatorships (see the Russian Orthodox Church), hatred of everything foreign - the entire Bible Belt in the USA can tell you a thing or two about it. All conquest in the name of the church, religious wars and so on and so forth.
So stop eating chalk, you haven't even begun to understand the principle of humanity that Jesus preached.
It's actually religious abuse and unfortunately that counts for everyone who sees humanity as a weakness. It is not the strongest who survive but the most co-operative.
Wokeness
What does "woke" mean? - Meaning and origin
"Woke" - being aware of discrimination
"Woke", also known as "wokeness", comes from the English and means "awake" or "alert". Today, the term is used colloquially to describe attentiveness (vigilance) or sensitivity towards people from minorities and moments of discrimination. The wokeness movement focuses primarily on issues such as racism, sexism and similar forms of discrimination. However, the term is also often used to describe supposedly general structural and political grievances.
Origin of the term "woke"
The term originated in the mid-20th century in the African-American movement as an expression of awareness of social or racial oppression. One of the earliest uses can be found in a 1962 article by author William Melvin Kelley, which lists African-American slang expressions and is about white beatniks appropriating black slang. The term was taken up again more strongly with the start of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2013, which brought it back into the public consciousness.
Since June 2017, the word can be found in the Oxford English Dictionary . The OED has since described the term "woke" as follows:
Originally: well informed, up to date. - Now mainly: vigilant against racial or social discrimination and injustice; frequent use: "to remain vigilant"
Criticism of the woke movement
Despite the need for "wokeness" in society, the term "woke" does not only have positive connotations. Especially in conservative circles, it is also used in a derogatory way, criticising the woke movement itself. The main criticism is usually that "woke" people are too sensitive. At the same time, however, this also automatically raises the question of whether those expressing criticism are not themselves too insensitive or too insensitive, which sometimes leads to the formation of camps. The main criticism is that
1. being woke is only based on criticism
A frequent criticism of the woke movement is that being woke is often only based on criticising others for not being woke enough. This was also the case for Barack Obama when he said in an interview with the New York Times in 2019 that the activism of young people today is based on pillorying other people. This creates a black-and-white view that lacks room for dialogue and education. This is a problem because all people have more or less faults. Excessive polarisation is a pattern that is particularly evident in social media.
2. premature development of a cancel culture
Another consequence of a culture of discussion that would only consist of criticism would be a hasty development into a cancel culture, in which certain people or groups would be completely shunned in order to deprive them of a platform. The fear is that people or groups who otherwise do good things will be cancelled without giving them space for dialogue and development. Quirks would be penalised too much.
3. political correctness
The term "woke" is also controversially discussed in connection with "political correctness", which actually aims to strengthen the interests of minorities, especially through the appropriate use of language, and thus avoid discrimination. It is criticised for creating new norms that are sometimes perceived as censorship. Critics fear that freedom of expression will be undermined by a kind of moralism. However, even the freedom to address discrimination is criticised.
Most recently, the new Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, spoke of "woke indoctrination in schools", which must be tackled. The term indoctrination describes vehement, one-sided, distorted teaching that does not allow for discussion, which is a central method of propaganda, especially in dictatorships. The extent to which the two terms can be connected at all remains questionable.
4 Woke washing and woke capitalism
We speak of woke washing and woke capitalism when brands, institutions or even individuals speak out against discrimination or grievances, but at the same time act in the opposite way or not at all. The criticism here is that companies in particular create a progressive self-image that is nevertheless subordinated to ruthless profit maximisation behind the woke façade. The image of a sustainable and equal corporate culture thus becomes a marketing strategy instead of an authentic identity.
Here is a simple definition of the rights for example (more of a fight call than a definition probably didn't pay attention to the definitions at school)
"Woke": definition and meaning
"Woke" means to be awake and committed and is a left-wing ideological term of struggle. Under the guise of "anti-discrimination" and the demand for "social justice", our liberal social order based on Christian bourgeois values is to be fought against at all levels and replaced by a socialist order.

And now a short definition from everyone who gets to the point (has probably understood what a definition is without propaganda and call to arms)
Wokeness
Definition: What is "wokeness"?
Wokeness is the attitude and movement of alertness and vigilance. It is the act of paying attention to what is happening in the world and wanting to remove anti-Semitism, racism, sexism, violence, environmental destruction, factory farming and other evils by raising one's voice in the mass media and on social media, on the streets and in the squares, in schools, universities and companies. In English, "to be woke" means "to be vigilant" against injustices of all kinds.
Prof. Dr. Oliver Bendel
A simple question: How could it come to the point that considerate living together on the basis of friendliness and understanding by people always discussing all topics in dialogue together in order to find the best possible compromise is no longer possible?
How can it be that for some social groups insults, open hatred, violence, so-called political incorrectness in the form of open verbal violence is part of the accepted norm?
Characteristics of the political system that lead to regression and ultimately to a dictatorship of the so-called good. Because only they know what is good for everyone, i.e. for themselves, here every individual in a society does not really play a role.
Parents and schools have a responsibility to turn children into responsible social adults who realise that the world is complex and that everyone should find a place in society that makes them happy. However, this is only possible if everyone in a society works together to shape it in such a way that the best opportunities are created for everyone, regardless of religion, educational level, skin colour or sexual orientation.
In order to then advance civil society as a whole and ensure the happiness of all. And not just the interests of a few.
To meet the challenge of the future, societies need every head on their shoulders - this is the only way to avoid a creeping catastrophe.
The eternal preoccupation with ourselves as humanity in the form of wars, conflicts and any irresponsible behaviour for individual interest groups is fatal for the next generation.
What if we concentrated on the really important issues?

Wow, how lucky we are - we thought nature had nothing left when humanity went down the drain.
Hey little wasch fetish if this isn't the beginning of civilisation.
He/she/it since we don't know that we don't want to commit ourselves, so what we have to say is that he discovered washing before the handgun as a civilisation good, which as we know does not occur with all humans in that order.
Who knows if you have already intellectually overtaken the person filming you, but you don't show it.
As if we're going to fuck this up really hard with humanity and we're going down with our civilisation. It's better to cooperate than to be separatists.
But the way you look, we think you already know that.
Good luck building a new mammalian civilisation smaller.

And please don't start with religion, it only leads to ruin. If it's religion, then embed nature and life as a whole. Quite enough,
