Socialist Progressives

societal concern! It is all the individual's fault that he can't get ahead. And when that individual acts out, or riots, or forms tent cities, the police and army will fill up the for-profit prisons and morgues.

And, as I've said, all work done mostly or wholly by women or minorities has historically been considered worthless (as in "getting paid well for it&quot , so you have this society not only despising those who don't work, they despise whole swathes of people who DO work, but because of their sex or race, the work is considered valueless. You even see it in schools -- once women started to do well in classes in high school and college, boys and men became less interested in doing that work because it had become 'tainted' as women's work.

I could go on and on. But this has been beaten to death as a topic for the past 10 years and not one damn thing will be done about it.

Here's what George Monbiot has to say:
A complete reframing of economic life is needed not just to suppress the existential risk that climate change presents (a risk marked by a 20°C anomaly reported in the Arctic Ocean while I was writing this article), but other existential threats as well – including war. Today’s governments, whether they are run by Trump or Obama or May or Merkel, lack the courage and imagination even to open this conversation. It is left to others to conceive of a more plausible vision than trying to magic back the good old days. The task for all those who love this world and fear for our children is to imagine a different future rather than another past.
