Churchill is directly responsible for Bengal Famine that killled over 3 million people. The main difference between these 👇🏽two is that the ‘bad guy’ killed mostly white/European people. He’d also be a hero like Churchill if he had killed nonwhite/non-Europeans

I just finished reading this degrowth hit piece everyone's tweeting about. It's a hugely problematic paper. Degrowth is not without flaws. But the problem with this hit piece is that it essentially labels the entire degrowth paradigm as 'unscientific' without much evidence.

Israel bombed a polio vaccination site, meaning that Palestinian parents will now avoid taking their kids anywhere near them because they will rightfully see them as death traps.

Kvinner har høyere risiko for senfølger av covid-19 enn menn. Det gir mening at kvinner kommer til å ha høyere sykefravær pga. senfølger av covid-19. Vi gjør kvinner en bjørnetjeneste ved å smitte dem med covid 1-2 ganger hvert år! Vær feminist — velg smittevern!

Just a public service announcement to everyone writing on the #capitalocene. This is _not_ an alternative geological periodization. It is a geohistorical mode of critique (of Man/Nature thinking) & a gateway to narrating capitalism as a #worldecology of power, profit & life. 1/2
