Indigenous Rights

Since 2012, over 2,000 environmental defenders have been killed for standing up against projects that put land, water, and local communities at risk. In 2023 alone, 196 people died: 79 in Colombia, 25 in Brazil, 18 in Mexico, and another 18 in Honduras. Indigenous peoples, about 6% of the global population, accounted for 43% of the victims. The pattern suggests a systemic problem, tied to corporate interests, armed groups, organised crime, and often, state inaction. ...

Recent studies confirm that unchecked climate change is disrupting oceanic systems at an unprecedented scale. The Arctic, warming nearly four times faster than the global average, is a bellwether for planetary collapse. As Carlo warns, the convergence of ocean circulation breakdown and toxic algal blooms could render Earth uninhabitable for most mammals, leaving only the ultra-rich in artificial bunkers, a dystopia where sensory deprivation replaces lived experience. This article verifies his arguments, synthesising climate science, critiques of anarcho-capitalism, and democratic reform proposals to avert systemic collapse. ...

The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE), far from being an unfortunate bureaucratic misstep, represents a meticulous continuation of state-sanctioned racial subjugation. The organisation does not merely enforce immigration law; it embodies the operational logic of a system built, quite literally, on unpaid labour, racial hierarchy, and legally sanctioned cruelty.
