Green colonialism promotes a neo-colonialist agenda under the guise of environmentalism. For example, some Western conservation organizations have been accused of using their resources and influence to exclude local people from protected areas, restrict their access to resources, and even force them to relocate from their ancestral lands. This has led to conflicts between conservationists and indigenous peoples in many parts of the world.

Furthermore, organizations such as the IMF, WEF, and the UN have warned African nations of non-compliance with unrealistic climate goals set by Western nations. For example, climate csar, John Kerry, warned African nations about developing their own fossil fuels, stating:

“We do not have to rush to go backward, we need to be very careful about exactly how much we are going to deploy, how it is going to be paid for, over what period of time and how do you capture the emissions."

Good one from Quoth the Raven.

He discusses Hayek’s desires for money w/o the state and adds context to the quote of Hayek’s most often cited by Bitcoiners.

Good write up on a misconception with Hayek’s “The Use of Knowledge in Society”

—-

“Many people misrepresent Hayek’s position because they ignore or misunderstand his explicit emphasis on tacit knowledge. The misrepresentation occurs because they treat all knowledge and information as something that is “objective” and capturable — such as the amount of oil in a container or date and time an event occurred. Framing knowledge and information as purely objective, they believe Hayek’s challenge to central planning can be solved by advances in technology. This interpretation of Hayek is wrong. As it completely ignores his emphasis on tacit knowledge playing a major role in economic decision making and by its nature inarticulable. Tacit knowledge is subjective, personal, and uncapturable by an observer. It is not measurable, nor can it be codified into simple rules and applied by others. Moreover, tacit knowledge is conditioned by local circumstances. The institutions of private property and prices create unique local circumstances where knowledge and information can be generated, through the discovery process of entrepreneurship, which otherwise would not exist. Making the problem of “the use of knowledge in society”, not one of mere practicality solved by technology and engineering, but an insurmountable problem of epistemology. “
