@omi_geek #AI in itself might mot be that bad (we must address its #ecological impact, though). What is deeply wrong with it is the fact that it's driven by capitalists companies looking for deep profits. AI is so expensive to set up that only these companies can afford the costs and they are coming for their ROI.
Surely, this technology is worth something but imho, not that way.

How to Turn an “#EconomicBlackout” Into an All-Out War on #CorporatePower

Friday’s economic boycott is a one-day attack on corporate interests. The #degrowth movement calls for a broader societal shift.

Jonah Valdez, February 28 2025

Excerpt: "Rooted in the work of American and European political theorists of the 1970s, the 'degrowth' movement criticizes a #capitalist system that seeks unending growth and profit, which has led to #ecological and #environmental ruin such as the impacts of #ClimateChange.

"Instead, it advocates for a system that prioritizes the needs of the #planet and its people, such as #housing, #education, and #healthcare. According to Jason Hickel, a leading advocate of degrowth and author of 'Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World,' the movement calls for reducing consumption and production of things that harm the planet such #FossilFuels, #SUVs, #PrivateJets, #mansions, #FastFashion, #IndustrialBeef, #CruiseShips, and the #MilitaryIndustrialComplex.

"While the term may be unfamiliar to many Americans, its core ideas have cropped up in the Green New Deal’s goals of a post-fossil fuel economy; the pandemic-era phenomenon of white-collar workers voluntarily quitting their jobs and working less; and the recent social media trend of '#NoBuy,' which encouraged people to purchase less and #repurpose more.

"'People are getting a sense that they’re ripped off, that they’re being taken advantage of and exploited as consumers,' said Aaron Vansintjan, co-author of 'The Future Is Degrowth: A Guide to a World Beyond Capitalism.' 'It is promising that people are responding to the current moment by showing their distrust of these corporations.'

"The boycott has drawn wide–ranging media coverage, along with the attention of some celebrities. It also caught the attention of #LindaSarsour, a progressive activist best known for organizing the 2017 #WomensMarch after #Trump’s first election.

"'It is an easy risk-free way to invite masses of people to act in reaction to the outrageousness of this Administration,' Sarsour told The Intercept in an email."

(such as high-speed rail to connect cities in #Alberta) could create jobs, attract investment, and permit the survival of an economy.

Rather than continuing the destructive legacy of fossil fuel extraction, please advocate for policies that prioritize innovation in #solar and wind #energy and public #transportation, and the protection of the remaining #natural spaces of Alberta. We could be well-positioned to make the transition to a modern #ecological society by supporting our resident...

Oki / Bonjour / Hello my Elected Representatives,

On #CBC #radio I have heard advocacy – from inside government and from industry – to build new pipelines for fossil fuel #transport from the #environmental devastations that is the tarsands of #Alberta to British Columbia and Eastern #Canada. At a time of extraordinary urgency and #ecological peril, I was appalled by such irresponsible voices that promote the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure. At this time, we should prioritize the...

A beautiful moss covered Western red #cedar #tree - still unprotected.
Only a human, with a compromised & unwell soul, would be OK killing an elder tree this magnificent. Some things are just plain wrong.

These ancient old growth trees are essential to fighting accelerated #ClimateChange. #OldGrowth ecosystems in our coastal temperate rainforests supports much biodiverse lifeforms. The naturally moist environment helps to lower impacts of wildfires & other natural disasters that have increased as our governments continue to fund & enable more ecocidal projects.

Low-angle, wide shot of a tree trunk positioned vertically. The bark is reddish-brown, deeply textured with vertical grooves, and heavily populated with green moss. The composition emphasizes the tree's height and scale, creating a sense of upward momentum. Framing trees surround the main subject, with a diffused, white sky in the background.

This must be the guide for the #ecological #movement. Ecological movement must return to its revolutionary roots and fight against the ongoing #war and its profiteers. To fight again for revolutionary change, because all the years of clinging to bourgeois #democracy and #capitalist #activism have only succeeded in winning over the hungry capitalists so they were able to proceed with other forms of pillage and destruction of #Nature.

"At dawn, just before the opening of the Corso Francia plants, a small group of people climbed to make a large writing, while others hung a banner with the phrase: “The war starts from here ”. “We are at the headquarters of the #Italian company, owned by the state, which is most profiting from the escalation of the wars of recent years ”, says #ExtinctionRebellion. “Leonardo's weapons, also financed by our government, are used in indiscriminate bombing”. Indeed, the news is known that Leonardo's weapons were used for indiscriminate bombing of densely inhabited urban areas, in #Palestine as in other conflict areas. Or again, the recent agreement with the Turkish Baykar to develop new drones here in #Italy, including the #Turin plant, drones that are currently being used by #Turkey for attacks on the Kurdish population." radiondadurto.org/2025/03/14/t

Dear _ ,

To bring my vision of posthuman #cosmopolitanism to life, I can: celebrate the #coexistence of humans, non-humans, & nature in urban spaces; support initiatives 🌱 for rooftop gardens & community green spaces; 🌳 advocate for #ecological urban planning & wildlife corridors 🦇🐦; promote technologies that enhance interspecies #communication 🤖💬; & integrate multi-species habitats into this city, to create a safer, more inclusive #society, where all kinds of creatures can survive together 🌍💚.
