FORGOTTEN HISTORY
*
(Forgotten History was far too weak in his criticism of the Globalization Agenda for my taste. See my comments below at the bottom.)
*
Globalization is the word used to describe the growing interdependence of the world’s economies, cultures, and populations, brought about by cross-border trade in goods and services, technology, and flows of investment, people, and information. The wide-ranging effects of globalization are complex and politically charged. As with major technological advances, globalization benefits society as a whole, while harming certain groups. Who or what is pushing for globalization? Hosted by Colin D. Heaton. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures Production.

And I fear that that is distracting from the real #problem here, which is just the burning of #fossil #fuels. It's these planetary criminal companies that are destroying our #civilization.

The concept of Western domination promoted by the United States and many other Western, partly subordinate countries does not provide for the harmonious development of all of humanity. On the contrary, we must deal with the Western minority’s never-ending striving for military, political, financial and economic expansion. Their slogans change: they promote #globalization, then Westernization, Americanization, universalization, liberalization, etc. But the essence remains the same – they strive to subordinate every independent player and force them to play by the rules that are beneficial to the West.
Therefore, I would say, if we would like to have more equality among human, we have to accept that we Westerners may have to pay more for #coffee and other materials, products from ‘former’ colonies. Furthermore, if this change would lead to a more peaceful world, we could use billions of taxpayers’ money paid for military expenditure for humanitarian purposes and environmental protection.

The #military has long been working on #AI targeting systems and the #CIA on #disinformation campaigns with AI and they cannot be regulated.
What is possible is made possible for #profit - that's how #capitalism works. We have to live with the #consequences. Be it #poverty, #climate change or AI...

The first German companies have begun throwing in the towel and consumption is collapsing in response to the fallout from exploding energy prices. The economy is sliding almost uncontrolled into a crisis that could permanently weaken the country.#GermanEconomy #Globalization #RussiasWarAgainstUkraine #Russia #VladimirPutin #Business
Energy Crisis Fallout: How Bad Will the German Recession Be?
Mit dem Digital Services Act und dem „Verhaltenskodex zur Bekämpfung von Desinformation“ schafft die EU eine ausgeklügelte Infrastruktur zur umfassenden Zensur von Informationen und Meinungen – ausgelagert an private Konzerne. Was Gastautor Johannes Mosmann durch Analyse dieser Dokumente kühl und sachlich an totalitärer Kontrollambition der Regierenden herausarbeitet, erinnert an dunkle, vordemokratische Zeiten.
With the Digital Services Act and the “Code of Practice on Disinformation”, the EU is creating a sophisticated infrastructure for the comprehensive censorship of information and opinions – outsourced to private corporations. The totalitarian control ambitions behind these plans that guest author Johannes Mosmann brings out in the analysis of these documents is reminiscent of dark, pre-democratic times.
Ein sehr lesenswerter Artikel, der sich mit den genannten Verordnungen und ihren Implikationen detailliert auseinandersetzt. Auf Deutsch und Englisch.

Unfortunately, I have to admit to myself that Mc Donalds is something like #international #understanding. All over the #world they eat fast #food although they should know better. While I was in China, I actually went to #McDonalds because I knew what I was getting and didn't accidentally order some jelly. Let them all be full, #fat and happy rather than at #war with each other.

Stating the obvious, but it seems that the obvious is not so obvious, lately
The best #solution to bury the #war would be for #Putin to fall out of the window. I assume that it is Putin's and not #Russia's war. You can criticize #globalization, but if economic relations ensure that wars are not fought, then that is worth a lot.

Even though many confused people preach the end of freedom or the end of the world, we are still trapped here in the paradisiacal version of hell.
In Africa, the next #Covid version is being incubated, which will then quickly spread northward because of #globalization. We should have shared our #vaccine fairly, but that's not how #capitalism works. Therefore, no vaccine against malaria exists yet and the #AIDS medicines only provided relief for poor people when the #patents expired.

An excellent examination of, and ruminations about, logistics and globalized supply chain management.
As will surprise no one, it is yet another example of the extractive consequences of abstraction, and of Trusting The Algorithm.
