COP30 in Belém may well be remembered as the moment that the world accepted the leading role of China in addressing humanity’s most important challenge.

but now the E.U. is beset by internal problems. Its primary industrial economy, Germany, is suffering from Chinese competition, and with the rise of right-wing parties, resistance has emerged to the ambitious climate policies of the European Commission. One symptom of these internal troubles was the E.U.’s embarrassing failure to agree its own mitigation targets before the informal deadline of September 30.

The United States, meanwhile, is trying to force its partner countries to buy more U.S. oil and gas.

      This looks like a good catch, thanks! I wasn’t aware of schizoidman or scotty.

      I’ve been trying to track these accounts for for quite a while. There may be more than one person involved, working together. I think there was originally just one person, and then two; I don’t know how many now. Some things the accounts have in common are:

      • They tend to target the same small group of communities.
      • They post more than they comment, usually a lot more.
      • They post predominantly anti-China & anti-Russia content.

      Some currently active accounts:

        I don’t think schizoidman is an Hotznplotzn alt. I was referring to Sepia being their alt.

          Not necessarily an alt for the same person, but seemingly working from the same overall playbook.

            Right. I mean if you look at their post history, Hotznplotzn & Co post all-you-can-find China-bad whereas schizoidman does not.
