U.S. Again Playing Hierarchical Role with G20 on Climate Change

Donald Trump in November began the yearlong process of withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris climate accord, making the U.S. the only country in the world excluded from the global climate change agreement. By withdrawing, the allies of Trump who make fortunes on exploiting the environment can continue to be justified in doing so. 
The United States, under Donald Trump, is reluctant to accept language that diplomats claim that the U.S. is opposed to the mention of climate change among global financial leaders after a joint statement revealed the G20 could include the U.S. administration's position on the issue as a risk factor for economic growth.
Some G20 ministers said the U.S. was reluctant to accept language on climate change as a real danger to the economy.
"Usually China blocks as well, but as they are represented at [the] lower level," a G20 diplomat said, according to the news outlet. "It's mainly the U.S."

Socialism - Pulling Together

Hierarchies means that only a few have the control the power and the resources. Non-hierarchy ideas come when we share our resources and look after each other. Is that socialism? Could be by some definitions.


Everybody Join Together

Everyone join together, what ever group you're in, to defeat those whose goal is to build and maintain hierarchies. 




Conditions at Border Typical of Lower on Republican Hierarchy

Those lowest on the hierarchy, as usual, get the worst of what is desirable.  This situation is particularly obvious when we look at people who Trump and the Republican party put on the bottom of their hierarchies.

A federal judge in Arizona has ruled that conditions at U.S. border holding cells operated by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency violated the Constitution. The ruling states that the conditions that migrants and asylum seekers have had to face have been "substantially worse than detainees face upon commitment to either a civil immigration detention facility or even a criminal detention facility, like a jail or prison.
