#gdp
Highlighted in yellow are countries whose #GDP in 2021 was less than in 2019. All of these countries are run by the socialists.
Dass die Hintergründe für politisch motivierte Taten »vielfältiger und auch diffuser geworden sind«, ist aus Sicht von Bundesinnenministerin Nancy #Faeser ( #SPD) ein Spiegelbild aktueller gesellschaftlicher Konflikte. Sie sagt: »Wir sehen sehr deutlich, dass wir unsere #Demokratie mit aller Kraft schützen müssen.«
Die Zahl der antisemitischen Delikte sei um knapp 29 Prozent auf 3027 Straftaten angestiegen, das sei »eine Schande für unser Land«, sagt die Ministerin. 84 Prozent der antisemitischen Straftaten seien Rechtsextremisten zuzuordnen. Gleichzeitig werde ein immer lauterer islamistisch geprägter #Antisemitismus sichtbar. »Jede Form des Extremismus und Antisemitismus in welchem Gewand auch immer sind völlig inakzeptabel; da darf es keinerlei Rabatt geben - weder kulturell noch für irgendein politisches Lager«, mahnt die #FDP -Innenpolitikerin Linda Teuteberg.

Eine (un)schöne Geschichte zum Thema "Wo leben wir hier eigentlich?":
Staatsfeind des Tages: Kiffender Hausmeister
- Von Michael Merz
Mittlerweile ist das kalter Kaffee: Fast jeden Tag ist es ja nun so, dass Depots mit Knarren und/oder Sprengstoff hochgenommen und Bezüge zu Bundeswehr oder Polizei hergestellt werden. Wieder mal eine Söldnertruppe im Aufbau? Beamte ballern auf einem Neonazi-Schießplatz? Radioaktives Material, Kalaschnikows, Panzer- und Flugabwehrwaffen im Homeoffice eines Offiziers? Alles Pillepalle. Das hat einfach mit der Sammelleidenschaft einiger Waffennarren zu tun. Da lässt sich mal easy das Auge zudrücken, vor allem das rechte. Solche Geschichten interessieren keine Sau mehr.
Ein wahrer journalistischer Coup ist hingegen der Berliner Zeitung gelungen. Sie hat exklusiv die wahre Gefahr im Sicherheitsapparat ausgebuddelt. Natürlich haben es sich mediale Leitsterne wie Tagesspiegel, Süddeutsche, dpa und AFP nicht nehmen lassen, auf den Zug aufzuspringen und über den schlimmsten Übeltäter unter der Sonne zu informieren. Der Mann agierte mit der Tarnung eines hilfsbereiten Hausmeisters in zwei Dienststellen der Berliner Polizei. Er muss wohl stets freundlich und gut drauf gewesen sein. Um sich diesen Charakterzug zu erhalten, zog er verschlagenerweise auf dem Hof der Behörde einen Joint durch. Damit war er ertappt – ein Linksextremist! Außer seinem Marihuanakonsum ist der Berliner Zeitung leider keine weitere Verfehlung bekannt. Links sein genügt ja auch. Jedenfalls wurde hart durchgegriffen. »Die Zutrittsschlüssel wurden selbstverständlich umgehend eingezogen«, erklärte ein Behördensprecher. Die Empörung Benjamin Jendros von der Gewerkschaft der Polizei ist drastisch. Dies sei ein »unglaublicher Vorfall«, der zeige, wie »lückenhaft die obligatorische Sicherheitsüberprüfung« sei. Da kann die Polizei nur von Glück reden, dass der Terrorist im Blaumann aufgeflogen ist. Jetzt ist alles wieder gut.
Going underground – E1061

In the second half of the show Prof. Tim Jackson, author of ‘Post-Growth: Life After Capitalism’, discusses why the GDP metric is deeply flawed in measuring the health and quality of an economy and society, the trend of decline of economic growth in Western economies such as the UK, his arguments for a radically different labour culture in which production is slowed down and lessened, the myth of ‘more is better’ that the obsession with GDP has created, the negative social impacts stemming from governments’ plans for constant economic growth, Boris Johnson’s comments that capitalism has been key in the UK’s coronavirus response and vaccine rollout, and much more!

Quit the Rat Race
Adopt a don't work ethic.
China now has a Lying Flat movement.
The idea is not to be a productive citizen. Don't work any harder than you have to. Don't help stockholders and bankers. Don't contribute to the GDP.
I've read that slaveholders in what's now Haiti were afraid that, if they freed their slaves, they wouldn't be able to pay them to keep working for their former slaveholders. They were afraid they'd take to the hills and forage or engage in subsistence farming. In other words, they were afraid that the former slaves would produce only what they needed, and nothing would be left over for the land owners.
This is what the authorities in China are worried about now. They don't want people to reduce their cost of living in order to be able to earn less, they want them to increase their cost of living, forcing them to work harder and longer. They want them to stay in the rat race. They want them to be in debt.
Reducing our cost of living to be able to lower our income has other advantages.
The only way to do anything useful about the on-going climate catastrophe is to reduce consumption of everything, and to reduce the amount of transportation, both of people and of other things.
The on-going climate catastrophe is only one (probably the most dangerous) of the symptoms of wealth and income inequality. Quitting the rat race is perhaps the most effective way to attack this central problem. The billionaires get all their income directly and indirectly from selling people goods and services they would be better off without. What will happen to Tim Cook if no one will buy a new Apple product? The wealthiest people in the world are those who peddle the most harmful goods and services.
- Buy durable clothing, and keep on wearing it, year after year.
- Keep on using your present computers. This is practical because there are Linux distros made especially for old machines. Other distros will have better support for old machines if we stop buying new ones.
- For all devices, mechanical and electronic, buy the most durable and reliable.
- Rent living space, and don't rent more than you need. Mortgages are a huge part of the banking business.
- Live as close as possible to the grocery store. It's best if we can walk to the store.
- Buy a motor scooter, preferably for cash. It's less expensive to buy, insure, and operate. The Japanese ones tend to be the most durable and maintenance-free.
- Better yet, if you live close enough to the grocery store, buy a bicycle instead.
- Eat vegan. It's less expensive, and it puts less land under agricultural use.
- Often, in the supermarket, the best value is on the bottom shelf. Always look.
- Wash your hair with the same inexpensive soap you wash the rest of your body with. Use that same soap for shaving.
- If you have a beard, don't shave it. Just trim it with scissors.
- Don't print stuff. Printers are a huge rip-off.
- Don't be a tourist. Tourism is a huge and entirely unnecessary industry that requires transportation.
- Don't get more medical care than you need. You need a lot less than the health care industry says you need.
So, once again, the goal is to reduce your cost of living, and not increase your income. Refusing to work full time for wages will kill the same industries that we're killing anyway by not buying what they sell. I look forward to a world that has fewer people, and is much quieter. I don't want to stop science, but I do want to stop the patenting of inventions. I also want culture to be free. Let's completely abandon the idea of intellectual property.
What else?
Well, if you spend less of your life toiling for the wealthy in order to sell unhealthy crap to people, and more time learning, napping, reading books, and listening to old records, you'll probably be happier and live longer.

Debt as Power
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok1WwG3t19Q
' #Debt is #power. #Extractive power over #people and #planet. #Class #societies ensure that the debts of the extractors are never paid while insisting that the debts of the #exploited are #sacrosanct. In this episode of #LTIO we dissect debt and discuss how to #overthrow its hold over the many.'

Economic decoupling? The recent relationship between energy and growth
Can economic growth occur independently of resource, and particularly, energy consumption increases? That's the question which emerged in a recent discussion over continued economic growth. In that thread, /u/geezerman makes the assertion:
Energy consumption is declining in the advanced economies
Oh, really? I'm aware of some short-term fluctuations, most of which were accompanied by at least temporary decreases in economic output, but an overall reduction in energy accompanied by increases in GDP? Let's take a look.
