These loons want communism AND humans gone!-----Why climate change action requires "degrowth" to make our planet sustainable | Salon.com
Salon spoke with Japanese philosophy professor Kohei Saito about his new book, "Slow Down: The Degrowth Manifesto"
- Climate change truly is a major existential threat, one we're clearly not addressing fast enough.
- But as individuals, there's little we can do to stop it on a grand scale — it will require global cooperation to overcome.
- Nonetheless, the accompanying feelings of helplessness when faced with such a daunting crisis can make many feel paralyzed with despair.
So what can be done?
"Slow Down: The Degrowth Manifesto," a new book from University of Tokyo philosophy professor Kohei Saito..."My idea is really not state socialism, but associated model production."
Saito's argument, as translated by Brian Bergstrom, is that climate change exists because humans as a species prioritize economic growth instead of economic sustainability.

National Guard to block certification of the 2020 presidential election, according to whistleblower Col. Earl Matthews.
- “I think a very plausible argument can be made that through no fault of his own, President Trump’s command authority over both the D.C.
