Global South & the TDG

Many world citizens are living very difficult lives. We should not expect them to build the TDG.

Many of in the Global North have comfortable lives. This comfort will give us time and energy to build the TDG.

Then we can teach this way to the rest of the world:

It is an awesome responsibility.

Why People Killed By Aerial Bombing Don't Matter

The West’s monopoly over this most lethal violence has conditioned how we see the victims of bombs – if we see them at all.

Traveling to an unequal country is one thing; living there is another. I've met many Europeans and Americans who travel extensively, including to countries in the Global South.

Some seem to genuinely care about inequalities and their consequences, and are thoughtful about these issues. However, it's a very different thing to start a project far from the turmoil and not have firsthand experience or understanding of the obstacles that might appear under those circumstances.

I've only met a few people who grew up in a privileged country and understand that. As a white man from a lower middle-class background, I acknowledge that I don't fully understand what minorities in Brazil endure. However, I still clearly remember how harmful violence in a country like Brazil can be.

"A new report, Gender, Debt and Fossil Fuels: A Mapping of Key Insights from the African Continent, shows that #climatechange, #fossilfuel #extraction and #debt all reinforce #gender #injustices on their own. The injustices only compound and worsen as the associated and growing crises they create overlap.

"As a result, #Africa is at the frontlines of the global climate, fossil fuels and debt #polycrisis that is largely based on unjust systems perpetuating #extraction of #resources to the #GlobalNorth."

It's a sad world when we have to pay such attention to the nonsense of this vile, small man, who was able to conquer immense power because our societies allowed it.

Meanwhile, some brave and skilled political leaders are trying to change our unequal world, but no one hears about them, especially if they're from a country in the Global South. Not to forget that some poor regions of the world are connected to the history of colonization, slavery, and genocide. Which wouldn't be surprising if it were taught superficially in the Global North. Is it?

Global South & the TDG

Those of us who have relatively calm political climates should build a new democracy to show the rest of the world how this new democracy works:
