[NOTE: these terms are weaponized language, & meant to give
offense. Which is the whole & compleat point of insult & invective,
obscenity & blasphemy, & other political speech.]
SWEDISH: Flugsham ‡
FRENCH: La terre est en feu… ‡‡
‡) “Shame of flying…” / “Shame of flying…”
NOTE: Flugsham
(Shame of Flying) is a Swedish term & eco-warrior/eco-tourist raison d’etre & motto, referring to the
inexcusable carbon quantities that each & every long-distance flyer is
responsible. Greta Thunberg, a teenaged Swedish
environmental activist has galvanized international public attention by
crossing the Atlantic from Scandinavia to New York City on a small boat to
attend the Climate Strike scheduled for Fri., 20 Sept., 2019. She has testified
before Congress, & called lying sack-of-shite motherless fuck Republicoños
on their dissembling stupidity, which
was self-evident in their arrogant & idiotic questions that self-destructed
even as they asked. All she had to do was pull out their freshly-rolled shaggy
bullshit soaked red carpet from them. The climate strike is a world-wide event,
held in over 120 countries &. largely organized by teenagers who tell
everyone above the age of 50 that they’ll die of old age, whereas teenagers
will live to die from climate change.
‡‡) “The earth is on fire” — a tweet sent by French president Macron before this summer’s G7 summit
in response to the Amazon rainforest fires, something of an increasingly annual
problem… & the intensity of this year’s fires caused by new #BrazilianFakePresident,
who has declared a mining & agricultural burning & clearcutting free
for all, refusing any assistance to put
out the flames, & criticizing any
criticism of his govt. as neo-colonialist fake news. The guy has really studied the Donald. The Brazilians have started to dial things
back ever so slightly as several client countries (incl. EU members) are
boycotting a lot of their product, incl. beef. While these fires are not
currently catastrophic, they can have effect
on regional & global rain distribution, & if the fires do continue, they can
easily reach a tipping point, destroying
a major part of the earth’s planetary respiratory system.
