I'm going to make this my #introduction Toot. My name is Matthew and I was born and live in England, though I've also lived in #France and traveled widely.

I'm an #Anarchist #Buddhist - two things that might not seem obviously related, yet in truth they are. I care deeply for people and planet: #inequality and #ClimateJustice are two sides of one coin. We must find a new narrative, a new social contract. We have to learn to live in #peace.

We must engage with current #social, #economic, and #political paradigms and seek to reimagine them to be fit for purpose, because currently they are not.

Extractive patriarchal capitalism is destroying the #ecosphere, and our communities. #ClimateChange is a symptom, not the problem. The symptom will only alleviate when the problem is addressed.

Post script: after thirteen years in the cultivated space of #Twitter with ~ 1,500 followers, my contribution to the #fediverse is gaining 100X traction with 1/20th the number of followers.

I don't doubt there are winkles to be ironed out here, yet there is an inherent leveling-up that is clear to discern.
