BellingenNSWNetworks of climate obstruction: Discourses of denial and delay in US fossil energy, plastic, and agrichemical industries"An analysis of the nine top players in the U.S. fossil fuel-derived hydrocarbon industries (oil/gas, plastics, and agrichemicals) shows tight linkages across the three different sectors, with news media, other petrochemical industry players, and politicians also frequently tagged, according to a study published January 15, 2025 in the open-access journal PLOS Climate by Alaina Kinol from Northeastern University, United States, and colleagues...Our study suggests that climate obstruction in different industries is more coordinated than is generally recognized...these different companies in different sectors are using the same strategic messaging to promote a distorted image of their environmental responsibility.” >> <a href="https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1070135" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1070135</a>"The use of fossil-derived hydrocarbons in fossil energy, plastic production, and agriculture makes these three sectors mutually reinforcing and reliant on sustained fossil fuel extraction.

AndrocatDefining "nazis".Don't let anyone get away with defining "nazis" in a way that gives zero advance warning. That is, stop them right there:If they won't call someone a nazi who ticks these three boxes:<ul><li>promotes themselves with hateful rhetoric about vulnerable groups</li><li>appeals to low-income voters for the benefit of high-income sponsors</li><li>are corrupt</li><li>seek to dismantle democratic institutions</li></ul>And especially, if they insist on including criteria with "it's too late already" values, like:<ul><li>have attempted, initiated or carried out genocide.</li><li>have installed themselves as dictators already.</li></ul>How to stop them? Difficult to say, but if they are even the least bit honest, they will accept that criteria that give no advance warning are worthless.From there, you can get them to think about it by asking "How could we set the criteria so that they do give us advance warning?".If they are not the least bit honest, then stop them with a brick or the like.<a href="https://toot.cat/tags/detectingNazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#detectingNazis</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/PublicDiscourse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PublicDiscourse</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/newsReporting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newsReporting</a>

B.It's going down the drain over there..."Search for the word “<a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climate</a>” on <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Twitter</a> and the first automatic recommendation isn’t “climate crisis” or “climate jobs” or even “climate change” but instead “climate scam.”Clicking on the recommendation yields dozens of posts denying the reality of climate change and making misleading claims about efforts to mitigate it.Such misinformation has flourished on Twitter since it was bought by Elon Musk last year but the site isn’t the only one promoting content that scientists and environmental advocates say undercuts public support for policies intended to respond to a changing climate."<a href="https://apnews.com/article/elon-musk-twitter-inc-technology-science-social-media-a7e2e3214abb4470dcb6e2837aa39c2e" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://apnews.com/article/elon-musk-twitter-inc-technology-science-social-media-a7e2e3214abb4470dcb6e2837aa39c2e</a><a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#musk</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/elonmusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#elonmusk</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/birdsite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birdsite</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/climatecrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climatecrisis</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/climatechange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climatechange</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/climatedenial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climatedenial</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/climatescience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climatescience</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/publicdiscourse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#publicdiscourse</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/socialmedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#socialmedia</a>

Carl HeathIt is time for journalists and actors with an active engagement in public discourse to put on both braces and belts. I look into the current situation with Twitter, as well as point to ways forward. It is high time to review the alternatives. A society should not chance that the whims and fancies of an individual entrepreneur set the pace for development and the future of society's public discourse.<a href="https://carlheath.se/time-for-braces-and-belts-how-we-strengthen-public-discourse-together/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://carlheath.se/time-for-braces-and-belts-how-we-strengthen-public-discourse-together/</a><a href="https://heath.social/tags/democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#democracy</a> <a href="https://heath.social/tags/democraticdialogue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#democraticdialogue</a> <a href="https://heath.social/tags/publicdiscourse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#publicdiscourse</a> <a href="https://heath.social/tags/twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#twitter</a>

Jason Goroncy'A good faith <a href="https://scholar.social/tags/conversation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#conversation</a> begins with curiosity. It looks for common ground while making room for disagreement. It should be primarily about exchange of thoughts and information rather than instruction, and it affords us, among other things, the great privilege of being wrong; we feel supported in our unknowing and, in the sincere spirit of inquiry, free to move around the sometimes treacherous waters of ideas'.– Nick Cave, <a href="https://www.theredhandfiles.com/to-speak-ones-mind/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.theredhandfiles.com/to-speak-ones-mind/</a><a href="https://scholar.social/tags/PublicDiscourse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PublicDiscourse</a> <a href="https://scholar.social/tags/CommonLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommonLife</a> <a href="https://scholar.social/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialMedia</a>
