It might be true that our parents went through harder times than us. But here's the thing- when one goes through a difficult time in the urban, isolated culture, it's phenomenally different from when our parents faced these same burdens.

For instance, when I'm dealing with my dysfunctional family life, I'm left alone and I think to myself- it's not the situation that bothers me because that could be overcome, it's the absolute lack of a support system, people to rely on, grandparents that keep your parents in check, community love, childhood friends you've grown up with and your seven other siblings (lol).

And I think that yes, our parents probably went through a harder time but they had a community to fall back on and I think that makes all the difference because when you have resources, you become resilient. And you can cope with anything life throws at you.

A dysfunctional nuclear family in an urban isolated culture, and absolutely no social resources is what leaves your body in a constant state of survival. It's one of the reasons why I think I'll die before 30.

When we discuss the climate crisis in economics, we are often confronted with a debate resting on technical solutions, emissions paths, and

We cannot understand industrialization outside the history of colonialism, and its relationship to a system of accumulation of surplus value – capitalism. Following the insights of Samir Amin, Celso Furtado, Raul Prebisch, Eric Williams, Utsa and Prabhat Patnaik, and Walter Rodney, amongst others, this perspective characterizes the seemingly apolitical process of industrialization as linked the violence of primitive accumulation, commodification, exchange, and war. That is, the slave trade, the colonization of the United States, the erection of colonial plantations in Africa, the Caribbean, Asia, and Latin America, all contributing the raw materials, food items, and export markets which subtended the low-waged process of European and eventually US industrialization. These processes, whose echoes are still reverberating, produced a massive amount of CO2 emissions. Furthermore, contemporary patterns of exchange, although not occurring under direct colonial patterns of control, are still unequal on South-North lines. That is, trade between formally independent states, based on the seemingly efficient price system, hides a new mode of control. An hour of labor in the North continues to receive a far higher reward than an hour of labor in the South, even when using similar or identical technologies, and northern products exchange for ever-increasing amounts of southern resources over time. As a result, wealth concentrates in the North, in part because wages and profit concentrate there, and produce and reproduce social-economic polarization within the world system.

Some photos from a walk recently, just some old bridges, I was going to link it into industrialisation and its impact on the planet but the link wasn’t that strong compared to some other infrastructure in the uk eg (Clifton suspension bridge), anyway though here is the point I was going to make, the industrialisation of all products has led to the extinction of many species and the eradication of many more in certain areas, and mass consumerism is helping that, take time to stop and reflect on your own impact and if you can go to protests, donate to charity, help in local events, eat local and make sure your local government knows that they can’t keep ignoring the problem.

The Legacy of Manifest Destiny in American History

Manifest Destiny: The Birth of American Expansionism The term Manifest Destiny first appeared in the July-August 1845 issue of the Democratic Review, in an article titled Annexation by journalist John L. O’Sullivan. It was a concept that came to define a crucial moment in American history, encapsulating the nation’s drive for expansion. O’Sullivan argued that it was the United States’ “manifest…
