How to save the world from a fascist takeover | Yanis Varoufakis interview
YouTube video by PoliticsJOE
youtu.be
We've got to stop 'pure temple' politics on the left. It only serves to drive people into the arms of the fascists. The recent criticism of Bill Burr, springs to mind. One dodgy decision and he's lambasted.... youtu.be/HvfrlJ749QM?...

Things that Labour will say 'yes' to:
1. We need 120,000 people unemployed (at least) to stop wages going up by too much.
2. Banks can extract $8bn a year in profits, because that's the price we should pay.
3. The market will eventually deliver affordable energy / food / rent - be patient comrades.

This is what the Climate Crisis looks like.
Tehran is going to be evacuated because it is running out of water due to pressure from climate change.
Where next?
We HAVE to eliminate fossil fuels.

But we have seen with Seattle, Paris, and NYC that empathy and compassion can win!

💯 This... In every population, there are people who act not for any tangible reward, but for the sadistic and righteous pleasure of denying others something they believe those others do not deserve.
For every surveillance state to function, there must be a critical mass of people who willingly act as snitches to further the regime's ideology.
I lived through this firsthand, money isn't the motivating factor for these people, it's the satisfaction of seeing people they hate suffer

Billions of lives are at risk. It looks ever more likely that we will all die on a burning planet, thanks to the lies of big oil and their politician enablers
Scientists now say we're on track for a catastrophic 2.6C temperature rise.
It would mean the end of agriculture in the UK and across Europe and drought and monsoon failure in Asia and Africa, with lethal heat and humidity widespread.

- NZ First: 8% (-4)

Labour surges to 38% in new poll - but it still needs Te Pāti Māori
After announcing its capital gains tax plan the party has hit its highest poll number since 2022 - but not quite high enough to cut Te Pāti Māori out of the equation.
