Capitalism is the Conspiracy: Structure & Examples

Answer (1 of 9): Oi, this is a tough one. The short answer is yes; they are speaking in different terms. I’ll do my best to hash out what left/right means and get to Peterson and Chomsky afterwards. If you pay attention you’ll notice that essentially 0 percent of people can give a rigorous defin...

Think of that one person you admire most in politics. Perhaps it’s Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, Bernie Sanders, Noam Chomsky, Ron Paul, or Donald Trump. Whomever it may be, ask yourself, “What do I disagree with them on?”

Democrats might never get another opportunity like this. The global climate certainly won’t.

One expert called it a “systematic deceptive marketing campaign designed to interfere with the solution that is necessary to respond to the climate emergency: stopping fossil fuel production.” Nearly two thirds of social media posts put out by six major European fossil fuel and energy companies since the end of 2019 present a “green” image of the company, despite the majority of their business activity remaining in fossil fuels, reveals new analysis by DeSmog. The findings add to campaigner concerns that fossil fuel companies are promoting a misleading image of their business models as the need to decarbonize the economy becomes increasingly urgent. DeSmog’s investigation shows a disproportionate focus on green or environmental efforts by the companies — including highlighting their net zero targets — compared to the share of their business devoted to clean energy.

Is Donald Trump a fascist? Did millions of Americans vote for an orange Mussolini? Well, recently the far-right commentator Dinesh D’Souza published a book intended not only to ease the consciences…

Jennifer Morgan of Greenpeace International says net-zero pledges that rely on offsets cannot replace needed carbon reductions and fossil fuel phase-outs.
