Jimmy Carter wrote a book a few years ago, "A Call to Action," about the dangerous, destructive rising misogyny around the globe, often using the Abrahamic religions as a tool to advance patriarchy (but also present in China, India with sex selection of fetuses & infants, etc.)
Jimmy Carter's book "Call to Action" helped kick-start greater action against campus sexual assault I believe. He's in a unique position to call for action, having worked around the globe. He warned that misogyny is one of the greatest threats facing the future of humanity.
The white supremacist, misogynistic agenda we are seeing with Putin's use of the Russian Orthodox Church, the GOP's use of the religious right as a tool of suppression of religious minorities, women, and others, is a very sick, non-holistic, deadly agenda that we've seen fail..
...We've seen this fail the majority of society over & over again in history. It is absolutely not able to address the threats of climate change & the very survival of humanity. Our future depends on establishing (and re-establishing) human rights as the foundation of any govts
We need all genders, peoples, nations in order to avert the climate disaster. War and weapons are a MAJOR cause of climate crisis. The current level of militarization is unsustainable. The US DOD is the largest CO2 emitting entity in world. The Putin/GOP agenda is a death wish.
A white patriarchal ruling class will not be able to save itself. It is a failing ideology. It is causing mass psychosis, as we see in Trump & @HouseGOP @SenateGOP, clinging to nonsense in the face of a pandemic. It will be another iteration of Nazi Germany if left unchecked.
Climate change, ever increasing militarism, white supremacy, misogyny are intertwined & unsustainable. In the end, how we take care of Mother Earth and each other will determine whether we can build a sustainable future. This time, the Earth can't heal if we don't learn soon. 🌱
