The entire interview is interesting, but the reason I posted it is for what was discussed toward the end.
at 57 minutes they discuss nasty girls who destroy other girls in school, and that the cancel culture is essentially letting these types power.
This is devestating to young immature girls in school, which is why my sister in law banned facebook (before the days of tictok) for her daughter: Her daughter is on an ice skating team (and later skated as a team in one professional touring group). But in high school, when they posted photos the comments were devestating and upset her, so her mom banned her from using it and told the other girls on her high school skating team not to post photos there.
What made it worse: She was wearing a back brace for scoliosis, and a lot of the comments were that she was fat and ugly (she is not... the posters were jealous for her talent of course but this is her weak spot of course).
Not a new problem, even in the olden days before feminism and political correctness, which is why I preferred to hang up with boys in school since I was good at science and wanted to be a physician to help people.
the irony? as soon as feminism became popular in the 1970s, these same type embraced it and used feminism as a club to destroy those of us who didn't embrace the hate men and abort our babies ethos of feminism.
Back to the video.
The remarks on nasty girls controlling cancel culture is followed by comments on the global warming hysteria.
Now one would think that someone who sees how pollution by big business affects the poor, and whose family grows organic food, would be an ecology freak.
The problem? It's being used as a cudgel to change the world's economy in a way that will devestate the lower classes and, if Sri Lanka is an example, even lead to starvation. And one wonders how China and India will become leaders of this, given the powerlessness of the majority of people in those countries. and given the pressure by the world leaders to implement such policies.
Will BRICS help them counter the over the top bullying by the western leaders, or will the western leaders crash their economies to punish them for not kow towing to the WEF?
don't ask me. I am a physician, not an economist.
we Catholics know where the Pope wants us: to kowtow to the WEF and their climate change agenda, by getting rid of fossil fuels.
Does that guy have any idea what would happen if that was done?
Our older farmers still know how to plant with waterbuffalo and plant and harvest by hand, but there is a shortage of farm workes because, thanks to land reform, their kids got educated and got jobs in the cities or as OFW. So we are transitioning to growing rice with farm machinery, which of course is run on diesel.
wait a second: one does not have to obey the Pope outside of faith and morals, and even that good Catholic Dante put two political popes in hell in his book the Inferno; and much of the Pope's so called reformist agenda is being pushed by Europe, (he just complained a lot of Yanks oppose him. How dare they? It's the influence of Mother Angelica Catholics, who stayed in the church instead of fleeing it as happened in South America when the liberation theology types took over).
the claim that climate change is causing poverty ignores how much of the world has climbed out of poverty under capitalism in the last 50 years.
But I am mainly angry because when the bishops push this here in the Philippines, it means they are aiming for the rich kids, and ignoring how cheap LPG/Diesel is necessary for poor people.
Indeed, our farm is probably going to lose money because of the high price of diesel and fertilizer (we are organic, but with the high price of artificial fertilizer it means lots of folks are buying organic fertilizer and the prices of all types of fertilizer is soaring)
So we might not make much of a profit with the rice crop, and that is assuming the typhoons and rain won't destroy the crop.
we are so short of funds that kuya is thinking of leasing a rice field for solar panels that are being put here. the bad news? The thugs are already threatening the farmers to sell their fields for this.
now if you don't think it is bad policy to put solar panels on the most productive rice growing area of Luzon, at a time when famine from high prices of food lurks in the near future, well that's because you don't believe in the cult of green technology.
But of course, the real problem behind third world poverty is not fossil fuel or even capitalism, but corruption. You know, the greed that all the Old Testament prophets used to condemn?
Hey pope: corruption is a moral issue you know. And a lot of the pollution is from corruption that keeps people poor.
so if you are an advocate for the poor, you can't just push the green agenda as the Pope is doing: that is what caused a major famine in SriLankha a few years ago.'
That is why the Philippine government is investing in farmers to grow organic rice and veggies, which is sold to the middle class, and growing it allows small farmers to make a profit.
But the poor in Manila? They rely on imported rice, and importing rice is vulnerable to corrupt business practices.
the president is trying to cap the price of regular rice at 40 pesos a kg. ,
sigh.
Right now I saw on twitter a hospital in Manila had an ad for transitioning girls by removing breasts.
Unless they are doing this for tourists, it means that some of our schools, probably the elite ones in Manila etc., are pushing the gender craze, along with tictoc etc.
Here in the provinces we have other problem.
Dengue is still around, as is summer diarrhea. And a lot of elders are dying of old age stuff like heart and kidney problem.
But it's not just the elders who are sick.
my seamstress' daughter, five months pregnant with a huge goiter, just died of pneumonia and also was found to have amoebic dystentary.
She was only going to a hilot local traditional midwife for her prenatal care, so these other medical problems didn't get seen.
I try to give small amounts of money to those who need money to buy medicine or get rabies shots, but of course, goiter treatment is expensive and for poor people this means going to the crowded government hospital in the next town. So she didn't go to the hospital until she was very sick and it was too late.
the economy is starting to improve, and Marcos is sucking up to the US hoping to get help. but as long as a lot of aid is stolen or diverted, it is a problem.
And of course, the LPG fields off of Palawn that could help the economy are untouched because of China's illegal claims. Indeed, that is one reason for the recent increase in China bullying the PhilCoast Guard there.
Sigh
