We can move beyond the capitalist model and save the climate – here are the first three steps | Jason Hickel and Yanis Varoufakis

theguardian.com · Feb 12

Capitalism cares about our species’ prospects as much as a wolf cares about a lamb’s. But democratise our economy and a better world is within our grasp, say Jason Hickel and Yanis Varoufakis

A great article by @jasonhickel.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy and @yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy. But I do wish we could all stop using the wolf as a metaphor for the worst kinds of human behaviour. Wolves are wonderful creatures, endlessly maligned - and also victims of capitalism. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We can move beyond the capital...

🔁 @ChrisMayLA6:

How can we reform capitalism?

Well Jason Hickel & Yanis Varoufakis suggest three key steps:

1. re-engineer finance; penalising investment for destructive private investment & prioritise public investment for public goods;

2. democratise public & private budgeting decisions;

3. democratise corporations; wrest control from the elites & put it in the hands of workers.

Its as simple as that.... well, OK not simple, but you can see what they're getting at!

"Since Donald Trump’s election, many major investment firms enthusiastically abandoned their climate commitments, which had, in favour of the common good, restrained their profitability. This should be a clarifying moment for all of us: capitalism cares about our species’ prospects as much as a wolf cares about a lamb’s."

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died three months later.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t even get to say goodbye.

2025 was the deadliest year on record for ICE.

People are dying in the camps.

They’re dying in the streets.

US citizens have been shot and killed.

These are just the deaths we know about.

Then there’s the deaths you won’t hear as much about.

The disabled. The vulnerable. The homeless or anyone labelled “expendable”.

Never forget that fascism and eugenics go hand in hand.

My latest is about Wael Tarabishi, a 30 year old disabled US citizen who relied on his father for full time care.

ICE grabbed Maher when he showed up for his yearly immigration check in.

Wael pleaded for his release. He told ICE he would die without his caregiver.

They didn’t care. Wael died three months later.

His dad never got to say goodbye.

His story deserves to be told.

ICE ensured his last months were filled with unnecessary pain and suffering.

Apocalypse no: how almost everything we thought we knew about the Maya is wrong

theguardian.com · Feb 12

For many years the prevailing debate about the Maya centred upon why their civilisation collapsed. Now, many scholars are asking: how did the Maya survive?

Shared by @jockr and 13 others.
divya (@divya) · Feb 13

`This urban sprawl landscape opens a new set of questions. The most important of these, according to Estrada-Belli, has to do with agriculture. “When looking at Central American forests today, we must reckon with the fact that ancient humans affected everything,” he said. “The tree species are there because the Maya chose them, the types of flowers are around because they made use of them, the wetlands served a human function. And so on. And all these methods were sustainable over thousands of years.” He described “the enormous investments the Maya put into canals, terraces and raised fields in water. They used extremely diverse, advanced and flexible farming methods, rotating and combining hundreds of species.”`
