they're not articulating themselves well, but there is a strain of environmental politics that argues that reconstructing the hierarchical relationships of ownership to a more local-based command structure is the most promising approach in reducing the harmful effects of industry in general, not just reducing carbon emissions. the logic is that the people that live in the community will have a greater level of interest (and, wait, is this basically a property rights argument? from me? never....) in maintaining the health of the community than some disconnected board hundreds or thousands of miles away. it sure sounds like a more effective idea than carbon trading to me...
ultimately, i guess the important thing to realize is that these people aren't idiots in any reflective sense of their politics, but in the reflective sense of their nationality. this is the face of america today, regardless of where the meeting is on the political spectrum.

ukraine can't seriously fight with the russians. but, if the fighting goes on long enough, that's going to happen. then, you've got russian tanks in kiev and a really serious problem.
it's a late embrace of sanity in what was truly a reckless and outright criminal policy. if ukraine does not stop provoking it's much more powerful neighbour, it will soon cease to exist. what sort of delusion underlies the desire to keep fighting because the russians have invaded? that's a level of self-righteousness that's really hard to grasp. if this holds (and i do not think it will), it merely exposes how insane the idea of using force was in the first place.
was it pointless?
yes.
it was idiotic.

actually, she gets it in ways that a long of younger feminists seem not to. she's drawing attention to the structural concerns regarding the origins of the culture. "when men don't feel the need to control anymore...". meaning when men aren't taught to control anymore. that's the money statement, what you want to hear out of a speech like this.
easier analyzed than corrected, mind you, and it's not clear if the campaign's initiatives are working on that level. but this is a bit refreshing to hear in the sea of confused messaging...
dunno what's up with that edmund burke quote, though, she could have picked somebody else to express the sentiment. not sure i'm approving of that.

that's a lot of focus on the eyes for grunge.
listen: i know the purpose of this channel is to sell makeup so you're going to exaggerate a little for the purposes of maximizing product placement. but "grunge" makeup was actually very basic. if you're going to talk about make-up and "grunge" it makes the most sense to put it in the riot grrrl context, which was about co-opting the idea of the slut. it was "i'm going to dress like a slut and act like a slut and throw it in your face in order to force you to acknowledge my humanity". did it work? hardly. but that exaggerated makeup and those stripper costumes were a very conscious, somewhat violent political act.
if you want to tap into that, the idea in your mind needs to be, like, ninja barbie.
generally, the focus on the lips is very, very bright cherry red. that darker colour is more of a goth staple. eyes should be kept to a minimum, except for an exaggerated dollface mascara/eyeliner combo designed to exaggerate that ninja barbie feel. the key with the foundation is just that it doesn't look slathered; there's a wide variation between none at all and a kind of porcelain face.
the most 90s or grunge way to do your makeup, though, is to do what you want and not worry about others. make up your own style. that is what the 90s were really about :)
