While the current state of things is alarming, I definitely need real facts and stats before I can agree with a statement about ‘the largest anything in the planet’s history’. Today, in nations where there are strata such as middle and working class, most of those who we perceive as poor live in a level of wealth and comfort with access to food and shelter that very few humans have ever enjoyed. Certainly not prior to the last 80 years. E

Even so, there are still places on this planet, like North Korea, the slums of urban India, Latin America, Africa, etc. where poverty is still at the same level it was 100 and 200 years ago. I am not talking about people not owning things. I’m talking about people who are slaves. Those who are starving in countries that have no safety nets.

Lots of homelessness due to apt rent going up too high to afford it. Real estate investors, landlords, and corporations make good money on apt rentals, put their profits before where people gonna live. This is a worldwide problem. No it's not the only reason people end up homeless, but there are millions in the US alone who are unhoused and working.

Absolutely! What is especially foreboding is the fact that the new super-wealthy do not, for the most part, give to charity. In fact, they despise charities and people who benefit from them. If you look at any charitable contributions they make, they are not typical charities, but other "institutions" related to the business they are involved in. One thing that DOGE has made abundantly clear to Americans is the fact that what Musk and Trump consider to be waste is exactly any government agency that helps ordinary people in times of need. All of those, be they directed towards Americans or foreigners, have been gutted. Medicare and social security are threatened by this attitude of the wealthy. The poor are the "abusers of the system" according to Musk et al. Middle class will become the working poor because the wealthy will take away all government oversight of business and more abuse of workers will increases. America and some other countries too are heading for social collapse.

The developed countries have the attitude that they want to use and enjoy the resources available WHILE THEY ARE ALIVE. In other words, the future is meaningless to narcissists but hedony here and now is attractive and desirable. There is already evidence that despite extinctions or probable extinction in the near future, the most educated groups of people like Americans do not give a sh*t about animals and plants dying off. As long as they have their cars and air conditioning or heat and plenty of food and housing, their current needs and, in fact an excess, are foremost in value. Trump was elected in part due to the attitude of "drill baby drill" which simply means we should take it all while we can, make money, live high on the hog, and enjoy. This is the intention of the wealthy.

The Japanese have made picking up trash into an honorable act and a citizen's participation ritual. Several times a year, the neighborhoods set a date for people living in the area to get out, pick up cans and trash lying on the streets and nearby and put it out for pickup. Cleaning up after yourself is taught from grade school. There are maintenance people employed by the schools, but their job does not include routine cleanup of halls and classrooms. On a daily basis, the students have those jobs. Americans would do well to try and imitate the Japanese in some ways. Children and adults have become so entitled in the US that they waste and look down on those who clean up after them while feeling entitled to such service.

The mass amounts of femicide happening in The Americas.

Femicide is not just killing babies because they're born a girl or smth! "Femicide (or feminicide, as it is referred to in some contexts) is defined as an intentional killing with a gender-related motivation. It is different from homicide, where the motivation may not be gender-related. Femicide is driven by discrimination against women and girls, unequal power relations, gender stereotypes or harmful social norms." https://www.unwomen.org/en/articles/explainer/five-essential-facts-to-know-about-femicide

"mass amounts"? In 2023, the FBI reported that there were 13,789 victims of murder who identified as male, compared to 3,849 victims of murder who identified as female in the United States. The US ranks 34th globally in "the intentional killing of females" at a rate of 2.6 per 100,000. The narrative of "femicide" presumes that every victim is victimized only because they are female. Comparatively in 2021 the leading cause of death for women in the US 1) 310,000 heart disease, 2) 286,000 , 3) 160,000 covid, 4) 92,000 stroke , 5) 82,000 Alzheimer Disease 6) 75,000 accidents 7) 74,000 Chronic Lower Respiratory Diseases 8) 44,666 Diabetes 9) 25,700 kidney disease 10) 22,700 hypertension.

There is a war as large and deadly as the one in Ukraine being waged by Rwanda inside of Democratic Republic of Congo. Rwanda is turning into a regional military power and their President, who was the guy who organized the Tutsi resistance that over threw and stopped the Hutu's genocidal government, has turned into an authoritarian military dictator with ambitions of conquest. The war is supposedly over a rebel terror group organized around an ethnic tribe common to the shared border between Rwanda and Congo, and Rwanda claims it must seek them out and destroy them inside Congo where they are sheltering and hiding from justice. In reality this region of Congo is rich in Rare Earth Minerals and Precious Metals, and because its a long ways from the population and government centers of Congo (isolated by a lack of transportation infrastructure), its been underdeveloped and unexploited. Rwanda is making a land grab to obtain these areas so it can mine the mineral wealth for itself.

More problematic than this, Trump and his drunk friend Hegseth have attempted to remove all of the career military elite that would have stood up to Trump if he ordered them to move against Americans. We already know from the 1960s demonstrations where Reserve Units were called in to quell demonstrations that young soldiers with little training respond to orders and are more likely to panic in situations, resulting in deaths of citizens. Trump will want to use this model to provoke fear in the American populace.

Cobalt is mined in Africa by slaves. Batteries in our phones and other electronic devices need Cobalt. The world doesn’t care, they just want their smartphones.
Jrog 8 months ago (edited)
Not really true. Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the main suppliers of Cobalt, and yes, the conditions there are appalling though not technically slavery. Mining in smaller operations relies on "freelance" miners, that are paid by extracted mineral weight and work in insane conditions. Larger mines are more regulated but still employ a number of "freelancers". This business model is illegal in the country, but is often not prosecuted because of corruption and general ineffectiveness of the Government that is still reeling from a long string of coups. The Cobalt market in DRC is managed almost exclusively by Chinese government-owned firms, and the manufactured mineral is used almost exclusively by Chinese companies. China is also the main stakeholder in Indonesian cobalt production, the second largest by volume, that run just a bit cleaner...
Jrog 8 months ago
Western cobalt consumption is mostly supplied by Russia, Canada and Australia, all of whom obtain Cobalt as a byproduct of the extraction of Nichel and nickel-copper sulphides, with industrial processes that -while still having significant environmental impact- is run to average ethical standards. The second source for Cobalt in Europe and North America is hydrometallurgical recovery from battery recycling, that also has no "slavery" involved.

EJN 8 months ago (edited)
the Congo has long been an area where warfare has made it difficult for companies to establish a working system for extraction of minerals. The DRC is doing its best to remedy that for the sake of their country, but as noted in the previous comment, the Chinese were first in and so most of the minerals extracted have gone to China. One reason that Trump wanted into the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine was the fact that Ukraine also has access to large deposits of minerals and Trump wants those. (He doesn't give a f*ck about Ukraine.) One problem no one is considering yet is the raw fact that these minerals are limited on earth and just like oil, once they are gone, they are gone and the business ends. Is that important? I think it is because it is likely that attitudes of "use now, screw tomorrow" will be in operation as usual and this benefits no one on the planet.

The people there are tired of Hamas poking the bear, and they get hurt in the swipe back, while Hamas hides in underground tunnels. Not to mention 1/3 of all Gaza aid between 2010 and 2022 were stolen by Hamas and 4 senior Hamas leaders were valued over 2 billion dollars each, 6 more valued over 1 billion, and over 900 Hamas senior people worth 30 million dollars or more.

Young males as well as older males tend to be more involved in carrying out revenge on their enemies. Most of the Hamas males are such. Yes, they have been crapped on grandly by Israel. Are they doing any favors for the ordinary Palestinian people? They do support the people to some extent by obtaining needed goods and medical service. Israel does not do a d**n thing for Palestinians. But, the most recent attacks on Israeli citizens which provoked the current movement of Israel into Gaza were pure stupidity fired up with religious zeal supported by other factions in other countries. The people paid the price. Hamas does not deal honestly and, as the Israeli government notes, is not trustworthy. The current Israeli government is also rabidly attacking in an attempt to destroy Hamas once and for all. It will not work because they are creating new enemies by destroying Gaza and Palestinian lives without mercy. Hamas has done no favor to Palestinians trying to live. Israel has gone too far.

If someone wants to accept those claims at face value, they also have to accept the Hamas claim that 70% palestinians continue to support hamas, and everything that they do.

The Serbian anti-corruption movement.
I_Stan_Kyrgyzstan:
With Chinese funding, Serbia approves construction of the high speed link to Budapest, including renovations of Novi Sad railway station.
Corruption is rampant during the whole process, and deadlines are restrictive, leading to rushed plans and malpractice.
Shortly after being unveiled, in November 2024, the new facade of Novi Sad railway station collapses, killing 15 and injuring many more.
The public finds out the true extent of corruption, which surprises nobody because the president Vučić is widely disliked (vote rigging, clinging onto power too long, etc). But it's still shocking because the accident is fresh in people's minds.
Protests. The police take many into custody without due process.
The government tries to cover up the extent of their wrongdoings and cover their asses. It doesn't work. This includes stoking tensions with Croatia for some reason.
Nationwide protests and blockades. The main university in Belgrade (the capital) and the national broadcasting station have been under occupation for months. They still are to this day.
The students have 4 key demands before they stop the blockades. It doesn't look likely that Vučić will ever give in. So it continues...

This is part of the Chinese playbook applied in large parts of Africa and Asia. Finance large public works in exchange of extremely long leases on ports and critical infrastructure, with steep interest rates, often having them approved through corruption. The debit is consolidated through private companies. The public works are executed by Chinese state-owned enterprises, at the lowest possible cost, much lower than what would be needed for a decent job. The infrastructures turn out to be terrible, but the money has already been funneled away, and the buyer is left to his own devices, while still required to pay off the debt to the private entities and to honor the obligations to the Chinese governments.

A positive one: that lidar scanning is being used to discover lost settlements all over the world.
Estimated to have died out 2 - 5000 years ago, archaeologists are seeing "towns" that had much higher populations than first thought, and many more buildings, irrigation canals, etc. than recorded previously.
Most of the discoveries have not been excavated, hardly any in fact, so the details about age etc are mostly unknown, but it looks a lot like the population of earth was significantly higher 5000+ years ago than first thought,
In other words, we are not the first booming civilization.

In the late 1300's early 1400's, the area that is now north america had a population of 100-150 million people, consisting of native tribes. It's hotly debated as to the underlying cause, but long before europeans graced the shores of north america, the native population declined by 90%, at the time columbus arrived the native population within the area of what is now the United states was between 4-10 million people (estimates citing 50 million include both what is now mexico and canada) Population numbers actually began to rebound in 1500....but the sudden population decline, kicked off a mini ice age that lasted for 300-350 years. Yes, colonists absolutely decimated the remaining population, which declined to 237,000 by 1900, through campaigns of genocide, war and the introduction of pathogens the native people had no resistance to.

Spain was generating energy as usual, through a mix of renewables (70%) and nuclear kept at minimum as emergency supply. The production exceeded requirement, so they were net exporters toward Portugal, France and Morocco. At 12.35, the wind power plants had a surge in generated output, causing an imbalance on the network. Normal occurrence, though France's network detected it as a potential anomaly, and suddenly shut down import from Spain. This had the opposite effect of overloading the Spanish grid, that sent a shutdown call to the nuclear power plants for safety reasons. At the same time, Solar output mysteriously dropped. [continues]
Jrog 8 months ago (edited)
Turns out, the older equipment used in Spain to manage network failed to keep up to the power frequency synchronization, compounded with the unnecessary shutdown of the nuclear buffer supply, and instead of feeding more power into the grid it lowered the frequency from 50 to 44 Hz, causing a cascade effect that disconnected most of the perfectly good solar capability (a whopping 54% of the national power generation). Must be noted that this older equipment -namely, inverters lacking self-adjustment capability- have been phased out almost anywhere save for Spain and Portugal. So, over about 3 minutes they found themselves with their main energy source -solar- and secondary -wind-, disconnected; their nuclear plants shut down and undergoing a lengthy reboot; hydroelectric not ready and not even close to demand, and large part of the network offline. It was the perfect storm of false alarms, wrong calls, technical limitations and equipment failures.

The BBC are definitely playing down/avoiding coverage of the quiet dismantling of environment protections by the Labour government over the past few weeks.
Following weeks of anti-nature rhetoric and negative news articles being deliberately released on nature (£100million bat tunnels anyone?), the Planning and Infrastructure bill effectively removes requirement for environmental protection on development sites…no surveys nor mitigation would be needed. Emphasis would be on Natural England to do strategic enhancement, at the same time as they are being massively defunded with around 800 jobs cut this spring, yet have been cut to the bone for years, and barely able already to afford to visit/monitor our existing protected sites yet alone fund their management.
This is on top of the sudden freezing of the sustainable farming initiative, so no funding is available for environmental schemes there, and now consultation with environmental organisations pre-planning is not required for infrastructure projects (likely so those new runways can be forced through without the pesky wildlife getting in the way).
We’re catapulting towards a biodiversity catastrophe in the UK and nobody seems to know or care!

It all began when recently Terrorists groups from Pakistan killed 26 tourists in Kashmir,India.
The terrorists swarmed at the tourists on the hill station and asked every tourist(only men) what their religion was? And then selectively killed them all who weren't Islamic/Muslims.
Indian govt. showed anger and condemned this selective hate towards Hindus and religion based killing. And in turn Indian govt. closed the dam to a river going through Pakistan which maybe the primary source of water there.
The irony is that on one hand the PM condemns the religion based killing and a couple of days ago The PM and indian govt. passed a bill to do caste-census, which will happen for the second time in ~90 years , without taking any steps to curb the t*******m by pakistan...they thought let's divide the public based on caste.

There are many, many things to criticize china over, but when it comes to implementing large scale projects with immense value to its citizens, the US should start taking notes. Half the US doesn't care about renewable energy, and the half that does is so bogged down by bureaucracy that conducting environmental impact studies, to implement projects designed to stop damaging the environment take years if not decades of infighting and asscovering.The highspeed rail project in California, approved in 2008 with a projected cost of $9.9 billion.

In early February 2025, a drone strike on the Chernobyl nuclear power plant created a hole in the protective shell of the reactor, known as the New Safe Confinement. The drone, potentially Russian, pierced the external cladding and damaged both the inner and outer cladding, leaving a hole estimated to be around 15 square meters.
THE HOLE IS STILL OPEEEEEEENNNNNNNN 😱😱😱😱😱😱.

"potentially" Russian? Who else should be suspect of flying Iranian made drones bought in large quantity by Russia, with Russian markings, armed with Russian made explosive warheads, departing from Russian territory towards Ukrainian territory, amid a massive attack of over 130 drones all departing from Russia? Who could have been, the fu*king Tooth Fairy?

Pakistani military funded t*******m in Indian side of Kashmir. Radicalisation of Kashmiri youth on the Indian side secretly. Pakistani govt giving safe haven to globally recognised terror outfits and India’s most wanted Fugitive Dawood Ibrahim who is also considered among top 10 most wanted fugitives in the world by FBI.
The recent terror attack funded and orchestrated by Pakistani military and ISI in Pahalgam, Kashmir has sent a wave of anger among Indian citizens. Global news channels are only focusing on the intelligence failure of Indian security agencies which cannot be denied but to completely deny and not acknowledge Pakistan’s role in the terror attack on poor civilian tourists seems like a hidden agenda.

In my opinion, the issue here is blaming an entire country, where there are innocent civilians. The Pakistan army, on the other hand, MIGHT have something to do with this. As an Indian citizen, I find it appalling that any media outlet or individual trying to bring up the intelligence failure is branded as anti-national and slapped with legal notices. Their social media profiles are banned! Why would a government that is keeping citizens’ interests at heart behave in this manner?

There's a blood test you can take to check for about 50 different cancers:
Galleri Test by GRAIL
The Galleri test is a multi-cancer early detection (MCED) blood test developed by GRAIL. It can screen for over 50 types of cancer by detecting DNA fragments shed by cancer cells into the bloodstream. This test is designed to identify cancers before symptoms appear, including those without recommended screening tests today.
Agat 8 months ago
Please don't fall for it. "A screening test for cancer must have high sensitivity for early-stage disease, for which intervention is more likely to lead to cure than for late-stage cancers. In its current incarnation, the Galleri-MCED test has shown overall sensitivity of only 27·5% for early-stage cancer (stage 1–2).1 This figure is based on performance in patients with symptomatic disease and is likely to overestimate the screening performance. The test sensitivity was improved to 52·8% by restricting analysis to a set of 12 cancers the Galleri authors specified as being of high unmet need. However, for several of these 12 cancers, including pancreatic, oesophageal, biliary, and liver, the mortality gains from population screening might be low because these cancers are mainly diagnosed in individuals aged more than 70 years and prognosis is poor regardless of stage." Here's the respected source: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(23)02830-1/fulltext
Agat 8 months ago
For now, the latter. Look at my comment above, the last part is a link to a paper published in The Lancet, analyzing this. It's definitely *not* trustworthy due to low sensitivity as well as false positives.

Slow decline of freedom and democracy in the EU.
The same kind of old people stay in power, as most of the EU institutions are not elected directly, and the election process is very opaque. They are slowly eliminating anything that doesn't fit with their world view. Basically they don't care about things like fun, comfort and convenience, and they want to eliminate anything remotely dangerous and they want to push their distorted ideas about what equality and fairness means.
What's even more problematic is that things like chat control want to completely destroy your right to private communication. If passed, governments (and anyone else with enough resources) will have access to every private communication. This will pave the way to prosecute opposition and squash any independent thought that doesn't align with any particular worldview. So far it wasn't passed thanks to opposition of many countries. But each time it fails someone tries to pass it again and again, until it passes.
There are still good and sensible people in this world, but most people don't even know about this fight as media completely ignore it. Each time some new stupid regulation is passed, it goes without fanfare. You just realize that when you want to buy a toy drone, or f*****g laser pointer that does not suck, or you want to visit a website without hiring a lawyer, that something is really wrong. But at that time it's already too late and you just have to accept things that would be unimaginable 20 years ago as a new normal.

There is no credible link to "terrori5m" except unsubstantiated claims by Yair Netanyahu, the PM's son, over Twitter. It was picked up by right-wing media assets and turned into a talking point, but as of today there is no proof, it's just Zionist propaganda, gleefully picked up by biased media all over the world. There are a swath of unsubstantiated and conflicting claims -mostly spread through the Jerusalem Post, a right-wing tabloid- that make no sense.

Btw, Netanyahhu is not blaming Hamas; he is blaming internal actors linked to "left-wing parties" that wanted to "disrupt Memorial Day".

Population collapse in the developed world.
It's why immigration is becoming such a massive issue politically everywhere.
Immigration is being used to prop up , maintain and expand developed world economies. If we didn't have immigration capitalism's blatant end stage flaws that are the primary cause of developed people's not breeding would be an international crisis
Look at Japan and South Korea. They don't have immigration. Just google it yourself. There is a tonne of videos and articles.
They are going from thriving metropolitan areas to ghost cities.
...
The 2nd reason there is population collapse is due to poisoning from phalates. Petrochemical by-products which are breaking down from micro plastics.
They are disrupting hormone production and causing low fertility and infertility
Just Google phalates and reproductive health. Dr shanna Swan i think is the scientists name who did a 20 year study finished recently

I can say that immigration became a widely heated topic here in Germany due to increased crime and violence committed by immigrants from Africa and the Middle East. And yes, that's proven by factual data. We have lots of different groups from all over the world being part of our society here and that demographic is by far the biggest outlier. Having a media environment that activley tries to play down violence as "Single Case" everytime something happens (statistically 9 - 10 times per day) and the last two governments ignoring the issue lead to the right wing to become the most popular party simply because they are the only ones addressing it.

Not capitalism per se, but rapacious wall street greed. Blame the Chicago model of economics which states that the only duty of a corporation is to return a dividend to its investors. No, they have other duties—to the planet, their employees, ... to the future. They have to start looking beyond the next quarter. Laws could be enacted to make consumers, environmental groups, and employees be members of corporate boards of directors. They could dissolve the Fed, which by 'lending' money to the government, ensures inflation. (Inflation didn't really kick off in the USA until the Fed was instituted. Look it up.) --- but in any case, we humans are lemmings; the population of the world will decline by 50-90% in the next 25 years. Not with a bang, but a whimper.

This is conflating an actual problem, with "Ufo's". The issue at hand that the DoD is facing, is there's not enough of a radar net over the US, that would allow tracking of UAP's (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena), a blanket term for everything from drones, to planes with their IFF (Identify Friend or Foe) turned off. Meaning that there are dark zones which would allow a terror group to launch a drone, and strike a high value target, without anyone knowing where the launch originated from. What they're trying to do is expand the radar net over the nation to make certain that at least 95% of the airspace is covered, to prevent such from happening again. By again, remember the drones on the east coast? Yeah, that really got them worried about it.
