På tal om aktisvistmötet: Per Gudmundsson sammanfattar det på ett lysande sätt: "Är alla Sveriges pensionerade syslöjdsfröknar här? Gråhåriga tanter sitter på marken och stickar. Väggarna runt Plattan är behängda med hemmasydda banderoller. På vikskärmar ännu mer textilier. Makramé, brodyr, batik, lapptäcke – alla upptänkliga tekniker. Någon har byggt ett altare och knäfaller. Andra hänger upp lappar i vinden med önskningar om en bättre värld – utan kapitalism. Besökarna målar skyltar och skriver under upprop. Runtom hänger en del identitetssökande tonåringar. Några flickor med rävöron och -svans. På scenen byter den grånande aktivistgenerationens alfahannar av varandra. Damerna jublar. Trubaduren Stefan Sundström. Tidningsmannen Johan/Jenny Ehrenberg. Klimatpolitik som hämnd Yngre revolutionärer som författaren Shora Esmailian knyter ihop klimatet med både kolonialismen, flyktingpolitiken och Gaza. Det är kommunistisk klimatpolitik som hämnd för Västerlandets tidigare försyndelser: ”Vi är här därför att ni var där!” Applåd." Läs hela: https://t.co/oTH8rYwLPG #Aktivism #Klimatpolitik #Sverige
Socialdemokraterna skyller nedstängd kärnkraft på ”affärsbeslut” som bolagen själva fattat av lönsamhetsskäl. Och det stämmer ju iofs…men det är ju politiker som sätter marknadsvillkoren i och med beslut om tex klimatmål, skatter och subventioner av olika slag. Har man inte förstått hur politiska beslut påverkar marknaden då borde man inte vara beslutsfattare anser jag. Håller du med? (från en energidebatt i kammaren 2024 - hela finns på riksdagens hemsida). #Klimatpolitik #Energipolitik #Beslutsfattande
