Decades of #greenpolitics have made a significant impact, but have fallen short of 'solving' our social-ecological emergency. Why is it time to move to a politics of planetary co-creation - read my latest LinkedIn post @ecodenker.bsky.social @groenbe.bsky.social www.linkedin.com/pulse/beyond...

It is a bit tragic to see how progressives are looking for the new Messiah (#Jetten in the Netherlands, #Mamdani in the US) while they still fail to understand why the authoritarian turn happened and what their role in this trend was/is.

Small edit: Europe's public debt requires revision of huge defence spending and 'explosive' fossil fuel subsidies. Sorry, Mr Putin, no money for war now. Postpone please. #fiscalconsolidation #debt @etuc-ces.bsky.social

How did the Netherlands transform from Europe's most progressive beacon in the 1960s to the vanguard of libertarian authoritarianism now? @claesdevreese.bsky.social - are there any recent academic papers which explain this fundamental shift? #TK2025 #Netherlands @nrc.nl

Brilliant article @nilsgilman.bsky.social on #China's #modernity & the West's 'epistemic crisis'. But what if this crisis is not about accepting 'plural modernities', but about recognising that modernity itself is hitting biophysical limits that no governance model can overcome?
