Droppie [anonsys] 🐨♀🌈🐧🦘<p><a href="https://www.crikey.com.au/2025/06/30/hannah-thomas-injuries-pro-palestine-australia-crackdown-protest-laws/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">crikey.com.au/2025/06/30/hanna…</a></p><blockquote>Her right eye swollen shut, blood streaming down her cheeks. Hannah Thomas posted the image after sustaining injuries while being arrested and forcibly removed from a pro-Palestine protest last Friday. Thomas, who ran as a Greens candidate against Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in his electorate of Grayndler in 2025, may lose sight in her right eye.<p>So far, the only person to face any legal sanction for this is Thomas herself — for allegedly hindering or resisting a police officer and refusing to comply with a direction to disperse — and four other protesters.</p><p>“I’m five foot one. I weigh about 45 kilos. I was engaged in peaceful protest, and my interactions with NSW Police have left me potentially without vision in my right eye, permanently,” Thomas said via an Instagram video from her hospital bed on Sunday night.</p><p>She had clear culprits in mind:<br></p><blockquote>I look like this now because of [New South Wales Premier] Chris Minns and [New South Wales police minister] Yasmin Catley and their draconian anti-protest laws and their attempts to demonise protesters, especially protesters for Palestine. They’ve emboldened the police to crack down with extreme violence and brutality, and they were warned that those laws would lead to this outcome.</blockquote><p><br>New South Wales Labor has always been clear about its views on protest.</p><p>“I don’t want to see protests on our street at all, from anybody,” New South Wales Police Minister Yasmin Catley said in the days following the Hamas atrocities against Israeli civilians on October 7, 2023. “I don’t think anybody really does.”</p><p>But in February this year, in the aftermath of the Dural Caravan hoax (more on that later), NSW passed new laws restricting the right to protest, and police were given additional powers to move on protesters near places of worship. Further, any conduct that could be construed as harassment or intimidation of worshippers could result in up to two years in jail. The laws also broadened the coverage of NSW’s protest permit system.</p><p>NSW Police has denied that the new anti-protest laws were used in the arrest of Thomas and other protesters, and said the protesters were given a move-on order for allegedly blocking pedestrian access to SEC Plating, the business being protested.</p><p>“The new laws that have been mentioned during the media over the weekend were not utilised on this occasion,” NSW Police assistant commissioner Brett McFadden told 2GB.</p><p>However, arrest documents for one of the five people charged, which have been reported by both the ABC and Nine papers, included a reference to a protester being outside a “place of worship”.</p><p>The flurry of legislation followed weeks of roiling media coverage of the discovery of a caravan laden with decades-old explosives and the address of a Sydney synagogue in the outer suburb of Dural in January this year.</p><p>As soon as the discovery was leaked to the media, NSW Police said it was considering whether the situation was a “set-up”. Australian Federal Police deputy commissioner of national security Krissy Barrett later contended that the AFP’s experienced investigators “almost immediately” believed the plot was fake on account of how easily the caravan was discovered, how “visible” the explosives were, and, crucially, the lack of any detonator.</p><p>None of this stopped NSW Premier Chris Minns from saying the police had discovered “a potential mass casualty event”, adding “There’s only one way of calling it out and that is terrorism.” The next day, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese unequivocally agreed with Minns’ assessment.</p><p>In March, by which time the anti-protest laws had passed, the hoax was made public. There is currently a state legislative inquiry looking at whether the public was misled in the lead-up to the laws passing.</p><p>Minns’ chief-of-staff James Cullen — who, along with four other senior staffers had initially risked arrest by failing to show up when summoned the previous week — told the inquiry on Friday, “The relationship that’s been constructed by some between the Dural caravan event and the passage of those three pieces of legislation is extremely unfortunate and unfair.”</p><p>Regardless, McFadden’s insistence that what happened to Thomas did not require this new legislation tells its own story — the crackdown on dissent has been ongoing for years.</p><p>An illustrative detail into just how deep-seated and bipartisan the aversion to protest is in NSW: back in December 2022, under the previous Liberal government, then government minister Alister Henskens happily endorsed the anti-protest laws that sent his niece, climate protester Deanna “Violet” Coco, to jail.</p><p>NSW is far from alone. In recent years, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, and Western Australia have all cracked down further and further on dissent, either via legislation or police raids.</p><p>Since October 7, 2023, the primary targets have expanded from climate protesters — Australia leads the world in jailing climate protesters — to include protesters against Israel’s conduct in Gaza.</p><p>NSW Police assistant commissioner Brett McFadden was, as you might expect, unrepentant on 2GB: “Our police are asked to do difficult things every single day of the week, and in the information available to me, there’s no misconduct identified, and I back the actions of my police.”</p><p>Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke expressed some sympathy toward Thomas’ injuries, but took a similar line.</p><p>“When people were asked to move on by the police, they should have followed the police direction. Apparently they didn’t,” he told Sky News.</p><p>“The issue of the injury will be dealt with by the police review, but for anyone wanting to have a protest, you know, no-one’s above the law.”</p><p>At the time of writing, Albanese has not commented on what happened to Thomas, his former rival for Grayndler and current constituent.</p></blockquote><p>Political class are bucking fastards.</p><p><a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=RightToProtest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RightToProtest</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AusPol</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=WhyIsLabor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhyIsLabor</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=HahahahaLiebs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HahahahaLiebs</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=NatsAreNuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NatsAreNuts</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=GreensYEAH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreensYEAH</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=NonLinear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NonLinear</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=TippingPoints" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TippingPoints</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=PositiveFeedbackLoops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PositiveFeedbackLoops</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=FossilFools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FossilFools</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=RenewableEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RenewableEnergy</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=ChangeTheSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChangeTheSystem</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=StateCapture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StateCapture</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=RightToProtest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RightToProtest</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=Biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Biodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=WeAreTotallyFscked" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WeAreTotallyFscked</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=Misanthropy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Misanthropy</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=Karma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Karma</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=NativeForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NativeForests</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=StopLoggingNativeForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopLoggingNativeForests</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=FsckCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FsckCapitalism</span></a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=CognitiveDissonance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CognitiveDissonance</span></a></p>

Droppie [infosec] 🐨:archlinux: :kde: :firefox_nightly: :thunderbird: :vegan:<p>Yeah, well, she's a specialist & i'm not, but i feel far more pessimistic than apparently she does. </p><p><a href="https://www.crikey.com.au/2025/06/06/climate-litigation-activist-lawfare-woodside-santos-court/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">crikey.com.au/2025/06/06/clima</span><span class="invisible">te-litigation-activist-lawfare-woodside-santos-court/</span></a></p><p><strong>QUOTE BEGINS</strong></p><p>Last week, Australia’s top oil and gas executives gathered at the Australian Energy Producers conference to sound the alarm on the rise of so-called “activist lawfare”. Speaking at a session titled “From Placards to Plaintiffs” — of which Crikey obtained a recording — panellists including Santos’ Kevin Gallagher and Woodside’s Meg O’Neill rattled off a list of reasons why public-interest climate litigation is a scandalous threat.</p><p>Woven through their arguments were narrative tactics aimed at delegitimising communities that seek to uphold the law in court, casting them either as nefarious, sophisticated operatives with “legal budgets a lot of the big firms here represented today wouldn’t even rival”, or unserious, infantile activists with “ideological” legal strategies — claims that are hard to reconcile.</p><p>The conference’s “lawfare” session is part of a broader push from the resources sector to shut down the growing wave of community climate litigation — a playbook honed in the 1990s with attempts to undermine the courts amid the landmark Mabo and Wik decisions.</p><p>This year, multibillion-dollar gas giant Santos, represented by the US firm Quinn Emanuel — the “most feared law firm in the world”, according to its website — recently aggressively pursued the Environmental Defenders Office and four civil society organisations that had expressed support for traditional owner Simon Munkara’s unsuccessful case against them.</p><p>To the applause of the gas industry, the new Northern Territory government recently removed the power of courts to review government decisions made under petroleum, planning and water laws (called third-party merits reviews) — a critical way communities can use the courts to ensure environmental decisions made by politicians comply with the law.</p><p>Similar changes are popping up at the federal and state levels. Conservative media pundits have provided a steady drumbeat of anti-“lawfare” rhetoric throughout, with commentary in The Australian last week calling on governments to “fix” the issue of pesky legal accountability. These narratives and legal tactics come from a global gas industry playbook designed to lock in the industry’s profitability, despite the unequivocal scientific evidence that gas pollution is driving radical climate harm. </p><p>Demonising public participation in the courts is a dangerous path. Holding the powerful accountable to the law is a basic tenet of liberal democracy. Undermining the courts by attacking the moral legitimacy of public interest litigation or limiting judicial oversight can have catastrophic long-term impacts. One cursory glance at the US is enough to remind us that communities must have access to a trusted democratic backstop.</p><p>What’s conveniently left out of “lawfare” accusations is the agency and grassroots credentials of plaintiffs. The word “activist” is used as a smear, evoking images of inner-city blow-ins enacting a woke agenda, detached from the wishes of real locals. In reality, it is the communities directly impacted by climate-polluting developments that are typically bringing litigation.</p><p>Take Mardathoonera woman and traditional custodian Raelene Cooper, who has been striving to protect the ancient Murujuga rock art, comprising more than 1 million ancient rock engravings that are eight times older than the pyramids. Pollutants from Woodside’s North West Shelf are threatening the sacred site, and the federal government has failed to process her cultural heritage application for more than three years.</p><p>Or take the group of NSW farmers who have just this week filed a challenge to Santos’ 50km Narrabri gas pipeline, which risks damaging vital rivers and aquifers — clean water sources they are dependent on. Litigation is an adversarial and taxing task, but how else can people assert their legal rights when governments fail to uphold or enforce the law against powerful corporations? </p><p>Missing from these narratives is also an acknowledgement of the robust mechanisms courts have in place to dismiss dodgy cases. “Lawfare” arguments imply that companies are being vexatiously bombarded by nonsense cases. But it is for a court to decide if a case has merit, not senior executives of gas companies. In fact, for a case to make it to a hearing, the court must judge it as having legal merit.</p><p>The fossil fuel industry is terrified of the accountability that litigation brings. Courts have the power to cut straight through the protective padding of PR spin and bring discussion into the realm of facts, and make orders on this basis. The gas industry has recently found this out the hard way via a wave of greenwashing litigation that challenges its deflect, distract, obfuscate strategy.</p><p>Last month, in response to a case brought by concerned parents, Energy Australia was forced to publicly apologise to 40,000 customers and admit carbon offsets do not neutralise the damage of fossil fuels. At the same time, Santos shareholders have been in court to challenge the company’s widely marketed “clear plan” to reach net zero by 2040 and claim that natural gas is “clean energy”, alleging they are “little more than a series of speculations”.</p><p>Some may remember the wave of community litigation that steered public discourse against the tobacco industry in the US. The tobacco industry’s attempt to spin its way out of the devastating health impacts of cigarettes was no match for the scrutiny of the courtroom. The oil, coal and gas industries have strategically ducked and weaved litigation for decades, but the law is catching up with them. They’re desperate to shut it down. </p><p>We must resist the self-interested calls of polluters to shut communities out of the courts. The alternative puts our democracy on a dangerous path. </p><ul><li>Isabelle Reinecke is the executive director and founder of Grata Fund, a public-interest organisation that supports marginalised people and communities access the courts system.

Climate deniers are bad. The Labor Party are not climate deniers (its members regularly point that out).</p><p>There is a second possibility — something far scarier, and far worse. Someone can work to worsen fossil fuel reliance in 2025 in full acceptance of the consequences, but without any willingness to work to prevent them. There isn’t a great name for this, but we can call it “tactical fatalism”: the intentional, weaponised insistence that a worse future is the only future (from those who benefit the most from whatever makes it bad).</p><p>When Labor’s new Environment Minister Murray Watt approved the gargantuan North West Shelf fossil gas processing facility’s 40 year extension recently, there was a justified outcry from Australia’s major environment and climate groups. You didn’t have to look far to find someone feeling “betrayed” by the government’s decisions. </p><p>What struck me, though, is that Labor have always been subtly clear about its stance on global climate futures, through its own decisions and statements. The party is a tactical fatalist, limbering up to be the coal and gas supply pit for a world it sees as inevitably on the verge of burning its inhabitants to char.</p><p>The release of Labor’s “Future Gas Strategy” just over one year ago drew similar outrage (and feelings of betrayal) from the big environment NGOs in Australia. I found that report absolutely incredible. Normally in these types of documents put out by governments, you’ll see a careful, awkward dance performed; avoiding the fact that the best-case future climate scenarios see significantly lower use of fossil fuels like gas around the world. The laws of atmospheric physics mean a good future for the gas industry is a bad future for the rest of us. </p><p>Not only does the Future Gas Strategy not dance around this, it absolutely burns up the floor like a confident teenager playing Dance Dance Revolution in 2003. The “analytical report” features this brazen graphic, where the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) “net zero” scenario, featuring a massive drop in global fossil gas consumption, is compared to the government’s own Department of Industry, Science and Resources 2024 assumptions: </p><p>The Albanese government’s projections show a worse reliance on fossil gas in 2029 than the IEA’s own “worst case” scenario (“STEPS”, or “stated policies”, assumes the whole world freezes its climate policy ambitions in place with no new ambitions). The March 2025 update of those projections is roughly the same, despite the IEA’s own scenarios massively revising down the amount of assumed gas burned in all of its scenarios, between 2023 and 2024. </p><p>When the “Future Gas Strategy” report came out last year, my first instinct was to think “Haha, I’m going to make a chart that shows their plans against the IEA’s scenarios”. My hair blew back from the desk when I saw that they included it in there themselves.</p><p>“There are a wide range of gas demand estimates in 2050 that correspond with different levels of global ambition to reduce emissions. With national pathways to net zero in development around the world, global gas demand through the transition and in 2050 remains highly uncertain,” write the report’s authors.</p><p>In justifying presenting a broad spread of future scenarios, the government claims “actual level of gas demand in 2030 could be materially higher assuming that the short-term forecasts are accurate”, and that “planned consumption by trading partners is inconsistent with emissions reduction commitments … there is no single story about the future of global energy”.</p><p>It’s upsetting to have to say this, but it’s truly no kind of fucking revelation that different futures are possible. What matters here is that those futures manifest depending on the decisions made today. Decisions like “let’s just assume the future is worse than the worst case scenarios, and act accordingly” are self-fulfilling prophecies that instil behavioural lock-in and a failure to imagine that better things are in fact possible. Actively setting out to wind down the supply of fossil fuels (without causing unjust price shocks) would definitely bring about a resulting decrease in fossil fuel demand, if done carefully. We already know about possible futures; the question is, which one are you fighting for?</p><p>The decision to let North West Shelf live longer than I probably will arrived on the same week as the massive conference of Australia’s gas lobby, “Australian Energy Producers”. At that conference, the day before the approval was formally announced, the Minister for Resources Madeleine King stood up and reinforced the message of the “future gas strategy”:</p><blockquote><p>As many will recall, the strategy strongly acknowledges the ongoing role of gas in the energy transition … my department is consulting on changes to retention lease policies to encourage more timely development of existing gas discoveries.</p></blockquote><p>Labor only really sees one desirable future among that spaghetti of future lines: maximum gas consumption, no matter who gets burned in the process. This is why Albanese is scrambling to rationalise the project’s approval by flat-out lying about it being used for domestic gas power generation. Chris Bowen falsely claimed the site’s massive domestic emissions are being controlled by the “Safeguard Mechanism”, when Woodside already meets its targets entirely by buying up cheap, highly suspicious carbon offsets. King frames exports as sustaining “millions of households and businesses”, when the key customer, Japan, breezily buys it up and then on-sells it for a profit. </p><p>The global context here is important: there has been a rising drumbeat of centre-right climate-aligned institutions and individuals calling for a “reset” of climate policy. Figures like Tony Blair and the US “Council for Foreign Relations” call for a more brazen fatalism on climate: giving up on goals and focusing instead on “energy security” and nationalist priorities. A half decade of wars, invasions, energy crises and a really nasty pandemic haven’t been easy on our movement, and the tactical fatalist predators are circling.</p><p>When North West Shelf was approved, the Climate Council issued a release describing Labor’s climate status as “two steps forward, one devastating step back”. The latest domestic emissions data released by the government showed a subtle rise in exactly the wrong direction, and my own analysis of current and projected emissions put Labor on track to have the highest cumulative exported emissions of any government to date. In short: it is more like “no steps forward, and several million steps back”.</p><p>The Climate Council list the fact that the Albanese government “acknowledges the clear link between climate change and more frequent and intense extreme weather” in that post. </p><p>But we already know Labor is not a climate denier. It’s worse: it’s a tactical fatalist. It’s a party that understands the gas industry dies in the potential future where we get to live, and so is setting about whipping open the gas taps to Asia in the hope that the methane firehose will encourage this half of the planet to burn as much methane as possible over the next few decades.</p><p>The climate movement is ill-equipped to deal with a threat that looks like this. The easy binary of deniers vs believers died last decade. Any fantasy we had of a global moral pact of good intentions is dead. This decade we are realising how much damage and death can be caused openly, without any shame. Genocidal countries know it, and the fossil fuel industry knows it, too. Our only hope is shifting back to fighting like hell to force the powerful not to choose to knowingly destroy our lives.</p><p>As Australia heads to Bonn to lobby to host COP31 in 2026, it does so happy in the knowledge of a new permission space for fossil fuel fatalism emerging globally. And it won’t feel any shame about it until we grow the language to describe it.</p><ul><li>Ketan Joshi is a writer, analyst and communications consultant focusing on clean energy and climate change.

The law didn’t ask him to, because for three years Labor has been stalling on laws that would. In a triumph of his own party’s inaction, his first decision as environment minister has been to extend the life of Australia’s largest gas project by almost half a century.</p><p>It is a horrible little pig-nosed decision, an oink of pure greed. Watt’s approval will allow Woodside Energy’s North West Shelf project to release an extra 4.3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The figure is roughly 10 times Australia’s current total yearly emissions.</p><p>In a brief statement, Watt made no mention of the catastrophic climate change to which he was wantonly adding. He said his responsibilities were to economic and social considerations and to national heritage.</p><p>“My responsibility is to consider the acceptability of the project’s impact on protected matters,” he said. “In this case, the impact of air emissions on the Murujuga rock art that forms part of the Dampier Archipelago was considered as part of the assessment process. I have ensured that adequate protection for the rock art is central to my proposed decision.”</p><p>And then: “While this process is ongoing, I will not be making further comment.”</p><p>This is a book burning in slow motion. Watt’s decision was made only hours after the United Nations indicated the site would not be listed for World Heritage protection if the government did not stop further industrial development. It is indifferent to the library of petroglyphs at Murujuga, to the destruction of their stone pages.</p><p>The approval has been fought by Mardathoonera people, by Ngarluma and Yindjibarndi people. It is opposed by climate scientists. The Western Australian premier dismisses their concern as a “political frolic”. He says Labor’s job is to “strip away the background noise”.</p><p>For decades, Woodside has treated Western Australia as a fiefdom. They dictate policy. Police work for them as a private army, rounding up protesters. The state’s politics is a failure, or cronyism and avarice.</p><p>That politics sets the national debate. It has succeeded for more than a decade in denying reforms to the federal environment protection act. Even as those reforms are again being considered, they will be without a climate trigger. Labor is still in thrall to the small number of people digging big holes and selling off the country’s wealth.</p><p>Watt decided to make Western Australia the first place he visited in his new portfolio. He described the environment there as “a particular flashpoint”. He made a virtue of not meeting with the Conservation Council of Western Australia or with Woodside. He didn’t need to. Woodside had already won the argument and there was nothing they could ask for that wouldn’t be given.</p><p>This is what the Albanese government is doing with its near historic mandate: extending a gas project that will pillage Indigenous lands and add substantially to the irreversible heating of the planet. It is almost cartoonish in its depravity.</p><p>Australia will pretend the emissions from the North West Shelf are not our responsibility, because the gas will be burnt elsewhere, as if the globe were not a globe, as if we are not all linked by rising seas and what was once called humanity.</p><p>Watt is often described in political circles as a fixer. Of what, it is no longer clear.</p><p><strong>QUOTE ENDS</strong></p><p><a href="https://infosec.space/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AusPol</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/WhyIsLabor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhyIsLabor</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/HahahahaLiebs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HahahahaLiebs</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/NatsAreNuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NatsAreNuts</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/OzElection2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OzElection2025</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/NonLinear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NonLinear</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TippingPoints" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TippingPoints</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/PositiveFeedbackLoops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PositiveFeedbackLoops</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FossilFools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FossilFools</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/RenewableEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RenewableEnergy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ChangeTheSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChangeTheSystem</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/StateCapture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StateCapture</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/RightToProtest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RightToProtest</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Biodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/WeAreTotallyFscked" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WeAreTotallyFscked</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Misanthropy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Misanthropy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Karma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Karma</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/NativeForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NativeForests</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/StopLoggingNativeForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopLoggingNativeForests</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FsckCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FsckCapitalism</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/CognitiveDissonance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CognitiveDissonance</span></a></p>
