In the middle of the pandemic, the Brazilian government is advancing legislation that could make Indigenous tribes even more vulnerable to invasion & infection -- and those fighting back are being killed.

"Maybe it's time for degrowth - but you shouldn't say that, because then you're an extreme leftist" writes Dirk Draunlans. Not really the point: degrowth is critical of growthism, across the political spectrum! https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2020/05/11/dit-is-misschien-het-moment-voor-degrowth-a3999389

28% of all new income from global GDP growth over the past 40 years has gone to the richest 1% (all millionaires).

In other words, nearly one third of the labour we've rendered, the resources we've extracted, the CO2 we've emitted has been done to make rich people richer.
