"Washington’s role as guardian of global capital (..) is conterminous with what environmental historians call ‘the #GreatAcceleration’. The advent of the ‘#Anthropocene’ and the spread of American-led #TransnationalCapitalism are intertwined. As such, the #Pentagon’s deadly atmospheric legacy far outstrips the effect of its own emissions."

@libroraptor you might like to read his obituary in the Guardian. It calls “Down to Earth” “his most incendiary and compelling book.” It’s
about what #climatechange and #inequality have meant for politics. If he were still alive and here in Aotearoa with us #nztwits, I suspect he would support dropping the voting age to 16 to allow #rangatahi a voice in their future, which has been placed at risk by the #GreatAcceleration
