[@robertstan298]

@@za_cpt The colonial mentality never went away. And why would it? The west has continued it's policies of world domination and hegemony over the "lesser" peoples and countries unabated for centuries. They just got smarter at hiding it in the modern age. And they also had the audacity in the early 1990s to imply that history has somehow ended and the arrogance to somehow believe they will always be the ones and THE ONLY ones calling the shots on this planet. So glad that the world, after the pharmaceutical lies pushed by the west and their "international" controlled institutions, the hypocrisy and lies on the war in Ukraine and the even more blatant double standards and even more egregious lies with the atrocities committed by the collective west in Gaza/Palestine has FINALLY started to wake up and rise up. With more and more Global South countries telling the west they're done being bullied, stolen from, lectured and undermined by them at every step. What a great time in history to be alive!

Western countries exploit resources in the earlier stage and when they are developed enough, they start to enforce rules.

The BBC reporter was either a performing monkey, reciting the usual script for the elitist climate cultist employers who pay him, or he's a cultist himself in the religion of climate change (a euphemism and cover for the new world order enslavement of humanity).

Reporters are meant to challenge politicians on everything. That's how western journalism works

[@Ninsuna]

@@hevnervals Most reporters today only challenge those who aren't in lockstep with "approved" narratives. Western journalists used to be true journalists. Now, they're just shills for certain political elites and corporations, promoting lies if truth contradicts "the agenda." Journalism has become sociopolitical activism, and a joke. At 72, I've observed that game long enough to have seen it happen. Operation Mockingbird never stopped, and western nations outside the US have their own versions of it. It's sad to see the public so bamboozled.

Forests generate very little oxygen though, or rather they generate a lot of oxygen but also consume a lot of it (animals, rotting trees and carcasses, etc). Most of the oxygen comes from the algae in the sea.

[@noelic6744]

@@imyarek Yea, I know that. I don't get your point. Are you saying forests don't matter then? Is oxygen the only reason for a forest to exist? Not the wildlife ecosystem or anything else? If it doesn't help humans it doesn't matter? Or did you reply to the wrong comment? Because I never mentioned anything about oxygen.

[@j4ck2000]

It is so vastly unfair for developed nations to criticize developing nations for producing oil when they massively benefits financially from more than 100 years of oil exploitation before we take climate change seriously. In terms of forest area percentage, UK and US are much much lower than countries such as Guyana and Suriname. Instead of criticizing Guyana, these westerns countries should focus more on reforestation like what China is doing.

Amazing statement from the president of Guyana!!! the western hypocrisy has to stop!

[@paolopetrozzi2213]

Leftiest, and all over the world. We also, in the West, are trying to fight the Leftist, brainwashed from decades of Soviet Communist propaganda. Most likely you are just another Russian troll

[@mikko3]

Literally isnt hypocrisy

[@paolopetrozzi2213]

That is not "Western", but leftist-Woke hypocrisy, arrogance, 5Tu. P!. D1TY and ignorance. The West is in deep trouble because of it, because of increasingly spreading wokeism, alias "Critical Social Justice", which is neo-Marxism or the Gramsci Cultural Marxism.

If you interrupt someone as an interviewer, you have already proven you inability to interview.

[@ramiere1412]

hes wrong though and he wouldn't let the interviewer prove it. he just got emotional over it

[@de0509]

You dont understand. What you see here is their whole point. These are fake "interviews". Journalism was never their goal. They are running a propaganda machine. What you see as "questions" here are actually statements disguised as questions. Questions were designed with intent to demolish reputation and perhaps cause instability. It seems to me theyre trying to prevent third world countries from climbing up, while they conveniently ignore the thousands of millions of barrels of oil equivalent they themselves are extracting, every year. So, the use of the word hypocrite is actually very fitting. BBC has stopped doing news, theyre just propaganda

[@BlackHawkTejas]

@@ramiere1412 How? So uk has right to develop its own carbon emitting resources, industries etc... but a middle income, small island, lacking in resource isn't allowed to do extract its own oil??? How is president wrong? You have the same, Ultra LOW IQ & EQ of that immature Interviewer from uk!
