Друзья,
это сообщение дополняет мои вчерашние о действиях Администрации Трампа - инициаторы-интересанты одни и те же.
И делает ещё более актуальным вопрос - что делаем?
Вслед за трампистами признаем, что ошибались, что климатической проблемы нет, её придумали глобалисты?
Или имеющимися силами начинаем собирать сторонников альтернативного мнения и формировать новую повестку дня - природоохранную.
В этой связи кажется актуальной статья в прицепке.
Нейроотличающиеся всех стран - соединяйтесь!

What is red‑tagging, and how does it harm climate action?

Sviatoslav,

I wanted to share something deeply concerning: red‑tagging, the false branding of peaceful climate and land defenders as communists, terrorists or subversives. This tactic is not just online aggression, it can lead to real-world dangers, including threats, arrest, or even extrajudicial violence. The term is most commonly used in the Philippines, but the threat it represents extends far beyond.

What you need to know:

1. It’s both online and offline

Activists are being publicly labelled as communists or terrorists with little to no evidence. These damaging accusations often start online but spill into the streets, jeopardising personal safety and branding their work as criminal or subversive.

2. It targets environmental defenders

Those protecting forests, waterways, and Indigenous lands, like activists Jonila Castro and Jhed Tamano, have faced abduction attempts and were coerced into false confessions alleging terrorist links.

3. Climate activism is under attack

Red‑tagging isn’t just a personal attack, it’s a strategy to prevent climate action by delegitimising those who resist polluting industries, mining, and deforestation.

4. Tech giants are choosing to look away

Platforms like Meta and X have reduced safety staff and relaxed moderation policies, which has allowed disinformation, including red‑tagging, to thrive.

Why this matters:

When activists are silenced or threatened, the entire fight against climate change is weakened. Indigenous communities, who are on the frontlines protecting biodiversity, are being silenced. When they can’t speak freely, the planet suffers too.

Thank you for standing with land and environmental defenders. Together, we can shine a spotlight on disinformation and protect those courageously protecting our future.
