The situation in the world is really very tense. Many people have long lost their belief that something can be saved. Confidence needs all the more support. People have started to accept the high price their lives have for other countries, people and nature. They even accept the consequences for their own future and that of your children. They say sentences like: “You won't change anything if you don't eat meat anymore” or: “Before I install a heat pump, the Chinese should change something first.” Or: “Go to Aldi, there is the Butter on sale today."
The news of that Climate change has meanwhile arrived. So are the devastating consequences. The latest climate report has just been submitted. Now we have a red alert and a possible loss of control can no longer be ruled out. And right now it is important that we keep the will to be confident. Because if we humans from the industrialized nations do not believe that the Slow down global warming can leave, then we will not make it any more. And for this confidence do we need support.
Red alert.
Here you can go through the official Climate report in the taz. read. Free journalism that should be paid to keep it free. It is only thanks to these sources of information that the scale of the situation and the threat are slowly reaching the masses.
When you realize how threatening the situation is, it's ridiculous that just 2000 demonstrators march in the fight against construction projects in the fossil fuel industry, which are driving us further into the climate catastrophe.
In politics there are very constructive, good approaches for an achievable Future and on the other hand the willingness to have a huge mud fight.
The measly allegations of a plagiarism hunter against Annalena Baerbock all first relate to 2 places in which Annalena Baerbock repeats facts that are generally known. Here in the taz the places to read. How ridiculous it is that the whole republic is upset about it and once again strays from what is really important for our lives. But that is the intention of the forces behind plagiarism hunters. The election campaign of most parties is meaningless and nothing more than peeing on each other's legs. Sad.
In his last newsletter he did Robert Habeck written a wonderful sentence. "The unconditional will to be confident." That is the summary of what is now your turn. Because only if we believe that we can do it will we fight for it and work hard to make it happen. Our world needs people who recognize this and help the masses to feel this confidence. Because it is not easy and even more difficult, because there are so many saboteurs who constantly strike across and hinder the people who want the right thing in their actions.
Immediate solutions would be immediately available with the simplest means.
Im Instagram profile of Toni Hofreiter der Grünen are important contributions every day in which Dr. Hofreiter explains the connections and shows solutions. Each post follows its positive and sustainable vision for a just and livable world.
The absolute desire to have one positive contribution afford to.
There are people who have long had the unconditional desire to make a positive contribution. And who, in a world of comfortable consumer life, have founded a counter-trend, namely the “unpackaged culture”. Unpackaged stores, such as: Enjoy Silke unpacked in Cologne, offer groceries and everyday items. They also make sure that the products are not only unpackaged, but also fair, regional and sustainable. A big step in the right direction. But a step that is too big for most consumers, as politics and the opinion lobby downplay the need for rapid change and people confirm their “business as usual” routine.
The desire to make a contribution drives us too. We are embarrassed how long we ourselves have remained inactive in the system. That is why we now want to help you live with confidence with every one of our products, every thought and every activity. And to inspire others to do something similar. We should all recognize that positive action should be self-rewarding and not conditional. Every positive contribution gives so infinitely much to the giver, like the one who benefits from it. And if we always stop asking about what comes out of it personally (this applies to both large and small things), then we are on the right track.
Support those who are really committed to things.
Better to support the right one. There are a lot of aid organizations. Many of them take care of their organization first of all before they spend anything on people, animals or nature in need. Many also deal mainly with the consequences that have arisen and not with the causes. We Move Europe on the other hand is an organization that starts where the problems arise. And that is with the wrong decisions of politics and those of Lobbying controlled financing packages for the benefit of those who continue to destroy our world. Because these originators of most of the problems of mankind are to be stopped. As long as these forces use all means to stick the people's heads with their lies, everything will continue as before. It doesn't help if we improve the flood protection and after the clean-up work, the team from the technical relief organization first strengthens the sausage stand. Because Brateurstbude = factory farming = massive negative contribution to climate change. The thing is actually simple and that is why we must now all consistently make our contribution. And as long as the lobbies exist and manipulate the world, we have to ask ourselves very honestly in everything we do whether this is really good for the future or not, or whether there is perhaps an alternative that does less harm.
There is a lack of willingness to see the big picture and the willingness to do something without being promptly rewarded for it.
You now have the feeling that most people are only interested in getting a nice slice of life. Just take a few more great vacations, buy an oversized SUV (regardless of whether it is battery or gasoline powered), just continue to insist on cheap consumption and let others go first when it comes to sustainable change. Don't miss anything or just don't miss out, that's what it's all about.
The individual may not be angry at all, but in the system what they do is poison for the world.
But maybe you can't be angry with people for being so. Because you haven't had a role model or a standard for what works and what doesn't work for a long time. There are an infinite number of applications for getting a bargain, but very few where real values or solidity are part of the content. In addition, the pre-dancers of the company really didn’t miss an opportunity to serve themselves and to look after their loyal ones, so that they really didn’t set a good example. And so a “me first and me most” society came into being. There is consistently a lack of a positive vision for life and a sense of responsibility for society and the world. Even if the individual is actually not evil, his actions in the entire structure are poison for the world.
How are you supposed to believe that you can change something when you don't have the opportunity?
And the worst thing is that more and more people lack any confidence that something can be changed. This is understandable because sustainable change is made difficult, if not impossible, everywhere. The system does not want change because that entails a shift in ownership. And that with solidarity is not exactly the strength of our society. Confidence needs support because many people have already given up.
Because everything is based on brutal growth and exploitation from those who cannot defend themselves. Not a good breeding ground for solidarity.
Real solidarity vs indulgence solidarity.
We are talking about real solidarity here. The form of selfless solidarity, which can also involve one's own renunciation. Because pseudo solidarity has long been firmly anchored in our system. We donate and collect and set up aid organizations for everything and everyone. What arrives with the victims in the end is a question and, above all, what is done to change the situation that led to the problem is very much the question.
Solidarity can also mean extra work and costs for you.
An example. If we stand up for poor children in Asia who have to work in factories under dire circumstances, what good is it if we at the same time affirm the system in which we buy these children's products and thus support this unscrupulous exploitation. Or what use is the commitment to animal welfare if a moment later we trample the animal welfare that we have supported with our donations with the cheap schnitzel from the supermarket. Confidence needs support because many people have given up.
We can proudly be aware of our responsibility and not just go along with everything.
Because with everything we do, we influence the direction in which society develops. We could be proud of it instead of dismissing what we are doing as ineffective. We could become aware of our responsibility and social task and proudly give a positive impulse. Confidence needs support because many people have given up.
For this we have to do one thing, but also the other.
Because a donation for the flood victims is important and good. But trying a vegan alternative the next time you have a barbecue, leaving your car behind once more or consciously swapping the plane for the train is just as much a part of it. Because vegan nutrition as well as low-CO2 mobility help stop global warming, so that the next flood will only come when the cities are better prepared for it.
Change is made as difficult as possible for us in order to prevent it for as long as possible.
Regardless of whether it is animal welfare-oriented products, fairly manufactured products, durable products, environmentally friendly products, ... the list is endless ... Everything has to be laboriously gathered and taken on in order to be able to live more sustainably. Confidence needs support because many people have given up.
Politics and business knew about the consequences but have tightened the screw more and more and made capitalism more and more brutal.
Whether it is about energy, locomotion, nutrition, household, cosmetics, the world of work, leisure or entertainment, politics and economics have for a very long time failed to set the course for one, even though they had access to information about the consequences of our lifestyle Sustainable development. Yes, much worse, they have always deliberately blocked and thwarted sustainability. Out of greed and to keep power. And they go on like this. Here is an example NRW and the expansion of wind energy. A law is simply passed that makes it impossible to further develop sustainable wind energy. As a result, we all lose our chance for the future, because the lost time is lost. And soon it will be too late to wake up.
If supermarkets and manufacturers are first of all allowed to sell dairy products made from milk from factory farming with animal welfare labels, how can a positive change be possible? How are people supposed to differentiate between completely lies, somewhat lies, fairly lies and not lies?
And if the vegan products are still more expensive than the animal products, because the agricultural subsidies are flowing towards the meat industry, how can an initial cautious trend in demand for vegan products take hold? And that although it would be so infinitely important, because factory farming has a huge part in the climate crisis. Confidence needs support because many people have given up.
And so it goes on and on. Until nobody really believes that we can do it anymore.
How is such a society supposed to carry out a change that is essential for survival when the situation is played down by most of the rulers. And even with massive investments true costs and consequences of the current exploitation and Destructive Capitalism be concealed.
The people willingly participate in their own annihilation.
Thus the perception of the people is insidiously deceived, so that the people willingly participate in their own annihilation. Really crazy, right?
All of this happens out of greed, because the lobby and a great many rulers work closely together to get the most out of the people. Just as the kings and the church used to live together at the expense of the people. Well, it remains to be seen whether that has changed much ...
But if at some point we have the "unconditional will to be confident“(Formulation from the newsletter of Robert Habeck from the Greens) discover, then we can do it. Because if we all help each other on the way to positive change, an important, unstoppable dynamic arises. Like that Wieder construction after the 2nd World War. People then infect each other with their optimism and positive energy. That is what we want and we believe that it will happen again in a different form.
