The Quarreler, 2st Issue: On Crisis

Facts and Analysis on the practices and consequences of Imperial Hegemony and Globalized Neo-Liberal
Capitalism
The said domination and system of power, already wide-spread in the world, are two major obstacles for the survival of humans. They caused the
two main threats, respectively being the significant increase in global warming and mutually assured destruction/nuclear weapons. Both threats
have extremely high potential to destroy earth and humanity. The 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference decides that human activity
causes the significant escalation in global warming and it has more than enough potential to destroy humanity; these facts are indisputable. MAD
and nuclear threats are self explanatory. Neither rapid global warming and nuclear threat would exist without Imperial Hegemony and
Globalized Neo-Liberal Capitalism.

Vocabulary
Imperial Hegemony: (IH for short) dominance by the ruling class of first world countries or over others with the policy of extending a country's
power and influence, exploitation and suppression of other countries through diplomacy, economy and military force; the ruling class of United
States, West Europe, Japan and some times including Russia and China are considered Imperialist Forces.
Global Neo-Liberal Capitalism (GNLC for short): a system of power which encourage authoritarian businesses using globalized mercantile,
industrial capitalism and financial manipulation to control the resources, the means of production, and the market. Therefore, it greatly influences
the social order and politics to maximize the concentration of wealth and power. The said system is often disguised as a free and democratic
society which emphasize personal liberty, enterprise freedom and free market from government while being abhorrent about the responsibility of
citizens and corporations.

On Crisis by Weapon of Mass Destruction (IH)

Imperial hegemony is the only explanation for the invention for nuclear weapons. The first ever serious attempt to make a weapon of mass
destruction is the First Uranverein in 1939 by the Nazi German government. The only purpose of this attempt is for world domination. This
action caused the motivation for successful inventing the first atom bomb by the West. Certainly, this weapon is not invented to prevent the fascist
government from getting such power. The first nuclear test is done on July 16, 1945, in New Mexico, more than a month after the Fall of Berlin
in May 2, 1945. By that time, no fascist government is doing any nuclear research. The true incentive of nuclear research is imperial
hegemony. To demonstrate the power, the United States continuously dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan, which is no threat to the west yet is
losing the war, massacring both combatants and civilians no less than 150,000. This action clarifies that the holder of the nuclear bomb wants not
survival but hegemony. Later, different countries, USSR, China, India and Pakistan and several more invented their version of atom bombs to
expand their own power for their statist reasons. The spread of nuclear weapon is not caused by the evil of Soviet Union or anything else but by
the principals of imperial hegemony. For conclusion, Imperial Hegemony made it possible for humans to make themselves extinct.

On Crisis by Human (GNLC) contribution of Global Warming
The human activities which caused the sharp increase in global warming are caused by GNLC and IH. Even though such problems are taught (in
school and mainstream media) to be the side effect of the advancement of technology, technology can advance without necessarily creating any
significant impact on global warming. Global warming would not be such a problem if the dominant power system is not Global Neo-Liberal
Capitalism and imperial hegemony is undermined. Burning fossil fuel, industrial meat farming and mass destruction of trees are the core human
activities which contribute to global warming. These practices are done only by the large businesses, their henchmen or puppets (or in the East,
state-capitalists which need to compete for hegemony imposed on the actual working class or surviving the chaotic world).
Those practices are made in the name of the consumers or the free market. A free market by the definition of Adam Smith is about such
concepts: ownership of private property, a competitive market, and unregulated prices.
To make a free market to work, we hast have conscious and informed consumers make rational and considerate decisions. In Canada and
America, we have a large crowd of upper-middle class consumer who are bewildered, addicted and misinformed making irrational and egocentric
decisions. The lower class has little or no choice because they have a tight budget and are living under precarious circumstance. They must live on
the cheapest and most time efficient product to survive. Thank the public relation industry, aka mass media, and the rigged class hierarchy, free
market does not exist. Free market is not a justification for the crimes of global neo-liberal capitalism. Though in the system of GNLC, the people,
namely the middle class play a vital role in demanding practices that are detrimental to the environment, the ruling class, where power is
concentrated, are those who are truly responsible for the global environmental destruction.
It is crucial to explicitly point out that a single person cannot do anything against GNLC and climate change that result any visible impact. Even if
consumers are responsible for the destruction of the environment, they cannot achieve anything. The market, which is largely greed-fueled and
un-free, does not contribute anything the people want. For examples, the people/environment want an underground train/subway for transportation,
but the market only provides automobile; the market produces extremely cheap industrial meat, which contribute to 7% of total carbon and
methane emission, while it is ecological, social, health, economically friendly for people to have an unprocessed plant-based diet; the market uses
fashion to make clothing a disposable good, while in the process producing kilotons of methane gas and carbon dioxide (from fuels used by
tractors for producing cotton); People need space-efficient and affordable apartments, while companies build large houses GNLC made it
explicitly necessary for a person living in a non-third world country to participate in climate destruction like no other economic system.
Affirmed, that global hegemony and GNLC are threatening to destroy humanity or at least sharply decreasing the existence of humanity.
Even though one may believe humanity will eventually be destroyed, global hegemony and GNLC will politically enslave, socially alienate and
economically exploit much of humanity, which is unacceptably vicious.
