Remember: You cannot adapt to lost cultures. You cannot adapt to lost traditions. You cannot adapt to lost history. You cannot adapt to starvation. You cannot adapt to extinction." Just stop media downplaying & fake-solutioning on biodiversity annihilation and climate chaos. 🧵

already explained to us that we need to rise up for profound system change because 1.5/2°C of global warming is a death sentence for countries like Uganda, but mass media continue to ignore climate justice. #LossAndDamage

2. People deserve to know industrial capitalism is obliterating cultures, traditions, and histories, setting up starvation & extinction catastrophe. However, mass media won't explain corporate/government crimes against humanity and nature in all but name.

3. Corporate journalists must of course remain quiet on the need for immediate dramatic economic system change away from capitalism. This silence blocks public awareness of the need to leave the status quo behind. Much more damaging than any soup protest.

4. I'll tell you what's criminal: state-corporate media silence on 21st century extinction catastrophe set up by corporations-governments. How often do we read 11% - 66% of species are being obliterated? The biggest news story in human history is ignored.
