German energy company RWE has said it will abandon its offshore wind projects in the US after reaching a $1.2bn (£892m) payout deal with Donald Trump’s Department of the Interior (DOI).
RWE said that it will now reinvest the sum into conventional gas projects, including $900m (£669m) in a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal project in Louisiana.
I have to agree, and want to add to you last paragraph.
The “influencers” are only able to spread their bullshit because we left young men behind somewhere 20 years ago in feminism. I agree that feminism should be primarily about women, but most of feminism did never think about what role young men should strive towards when patriarchism is dismantled. We now have a situation where feminism was able to improve the situation of women somewhat, but it also created a lot of uncertainty in young men who feel that they now have no place in a society that often is prejudicial against them because it is expected that they behave just as bad as the previous generations. This opens up an opportunity for the worst of humanity, coming from the right wing - they are filling their minds with misogynist and anti-LGBT ideas to give them an identity that they are missing because the previous push against patriarchism offered no alternative to them.
The next wave of feminism should take that as a lesson: you can’t just dismantle a system without offering the participants of that system a worthwhile position in the new system, or they will refuse your system - often violently.
Wow, this is so very well said. It’s hard to thread this needle, because even when you state it as well as you do, you’ll sometimes have people getting their back up about how you are “centering” males and so on. It’s not about centering any one group (to me), it’s about trying to push things forward without leaving anyone behind.
