Insightful article (in German) explaining the cognitive dissonance of those who insist the climate isn’t changing even as they endure one climate crisis after another.

Low-hanging fruit for reducing emissions is keeping developing countries' industrialization clean. Will India & southeast Asia's renewable-heavy development continue, and is it a viable model for other regions that don't yet have the emissions per captia of e.g. the G8 countries?

Yeah, but it sounds edgy and pithy and requires no insight into any specific thing, so of course it's very popular among amateur and professional pundits.

The worst of the worst were bad guests (Paris of Troy, Odysseus’ suitors) or bad hosts (Tantalus, Circe). For all white supremacists like to harp on “Western Culture” they sure do like to flaunt their cruelty by violating taboos that Greek Mythology explicitly states is worse than murder. 3/3

Hospitality was one of the most important values. Zeus and Hermes themselves as wanderers to test the moral character of mortals. Greeks believed that any stranger who showed up could be a god in disguise, so every guest should get the godly treatment, and every host shown respect. 2/?

I never thought my love of Greek mythology would turn up in modern activism, but - the stories about ICE eating at restaurants and then arresting workers, or arresting hotel staff at hotels they stay at really got to me. People posted about hospitality taboos before, but specifically wrt Greece -1/?
