In this Our Changing Climate climate change video essay, I look at the rise of fossil fascism and ecofascism on the far right. As the world gets warmer and fossil fuels become increasingly untenable there are now glimpses of two trends within the far right that are a reaction to climate change. Ecofascism and fossil fascism.
I leaned heavily on the book White Skin, Black Fuel which you can find here: www.versobooks.com/books/3812...

Really tiny thing about this video: LatinX is not really an appropriate word to use. "Latinos" is correct. It is just weird having white people project their culture insecurities into a different language and culture. The masculine/feminine aspect of the language is not how it would be viewed from English. Its hard to explain because the concept doesn't really exist in English. Its like wanting to gender neutral the concept of male and female electric or piping connectors. The male end of a powercord is not actually inherently masculine, it's just called that for nomenclature and the fact it inserts into something lol
And today’s rightwing is the reach of plutocracy. they are subject to a malignant idea we are a threat to civilization. policy that kills off a nation is no biggie to them. they are not coherent th-cam.com/video/igUPihr_t5Y/w-d-xo.html
Thank you, I found the use of LatinX jarring, because most Latinos and Hispanics find it at least somewhat offensive.
I think I’m most optimistic about Client Earth and Stop Ecocide, campaigns to build legal challenges to destructive forces…
I never understand how people will feverishly hold on to fossil fuels, even without taking the climate and pollution into account, it's by definition a limited resource.
If your nation is built upon using fossil fuels, what are you going to do when we run out? You're giving your country a very limited lifespan if you tie it to using fossil fuels.
Not really. Oil, gas, coal, and methane clathrates together would last for centuries as the main human energy source, runaway climate change ensuing. They are still relatively cheap, and still run 80% of primary energy use. As Nobel prize laureate Robert Laughlin pointed out, from a quantum mechanical standpoint, nearly nothing beats hydrocarbons as the optimal energy storage in terms of its practical versatility. You can store it nearly forever, transport and convert it easily. And in the 21st century, the 6+ billion poor of humanity want, require and deserve the living standard the 2- billion rich have come to expect since the 20th century. On top, powerful status quo lobbies. So, without fearless policy to promote the less practical but benign alternatives to enable the required fastest and largest physical infrastructure remodeling in all of human history over this mere handful of precious decades, our enormous HMS Titanic will still hit the iceberg.
They believe it won't run out for hundreds of years at which point it will be another generation's problem. Same goes for rising sea level. Capitalists can't look to the consequences of the distant future or even the near future if there's money to be made in the present. Even if there's money to be made investing in green tech they may not see it, I think that has something to do with conservative traditionalist thinking: all progressive change is bad, stick to the old way of things.
It’s not about liking fossil fuels. It’s about hating the people who want to stop fossil fuels.
how is this any better
I have heard, "The world will be out of oil in 10 years!" for 50 years.
They never teach you how fascist Italy and Germany were capitalist societies.
Don't forget about how the USA literally let Japan whitewash their history just so they could have a capitalist nation in Asia. They were so bad the Nazis told them to chill. And now the Ultra-Nationalist movements there are gaining steam, even being supported by Shinzo Abe. I'm half Chinese (although that side lives in Taiwan), and my parent from that side (and their mother) still hates Japan for what they did. Japan is also notable for .... whaling in direct violation of international law iirc. They aren't as bad on the fossil fuel fronts as the west iirc, and they are stewards of nuclear responsibility. Sorry for being so long, I just felt that it was important.
That's like saying they never teach you Cuba, Russia, Belarus, Turkmenistan, ECT were all communist dictatorships which lead to political and economical instability causing mass famine, starvation, death, poverty, lower life expectancy ECT.
Who is They in that sentence?

I love that Mussolini tried to mythicize The Roman empire, one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse empires in history, while being xenophobic. The one thing that allowed Rome to become so powerful is that Rome had a knack for assimilating different cultures into their own. Their religion was highly syncretic, so basically they believed that other cultures' gods were their gods, just with different names and rituals.
Excellent and educational comment.
Had to look up "syncretic" --- precise and useful word.
You ignore that for most of Rome’s history, it struggled to give citizenship to people who lived in the empire but weren’t “Roman”. The same rhetoric used now was used then. “Let’s make all Italians Roman citizens”, “No, they’ll steal good Roman citizens jobs”. Plus, you ignore that all of their conquests were built on ethnic cleansing efforts of their own, and oftentimes Rome destroyed native religions before they then Romanized those faiths. Take Gaul for example. When Caesar conquered it, he killed a third of the population and enslaved another third. Gaul was devastated, and Caesar was a hero. He also described the gaullic faiths with extremely hostile terms. Let’s not forget the massacres of Greeks, Amazigh, and Iberians, and the mass enslavement of their people. Rome was great at integrating people, but this was in large part because of the violence they enacted on those who resisted.
Let’s not act as if their peaceful methods were great either. They actively destroyed local languages and customs and promoted romanized syncretic versions of them. This was intentional, it meant that the culture would syncretize in a manner that Rome deemed tolerable.
Rome was an empire. All empires are built on bloodshed. Don’t forget this. Mussolini didn’t.
@@Jrookus you are very right, but they were not at all what Mussolini was mythologizing either. Caesar nearly annihilated the Celts, of the estimated 3 million in Europe at the time, 1.5 million were slaughtered, another 1 million enslaved, and Celtic cultures that didn't align themselves with Rome were extinguished. The Romans would make sure they repeated this each time they conquered new land (which wasn't very much after Caesar). By the time of the 5 good emperors, Rome's conquering days were long behind them. I'm not saying Rome was great or even good, just that the fascist idea of an ethnically pure Roman Empire was a myth.
Thats because Mussolini was a dumb socialist while Cesar was based because absolute monarchy
@@waripolo3813 Caesar went out of his way to decline the title "Rēx Rōmānōrum". Even though it was offered to him at the Lupercalia. And Caesar is famous for redistributing land from the wealthy. Pretty socialist if you ask me...
This explains something that has been going on in Norway for a while now; obviously wind turbines are presented as a good thing, and that "everyone who is against them simply don't care about climate change", but then they are placed on lands used by Sámi people keeping reindeer or in areas known to have rare birds that get killed by the wind turbines. (There are other issues as well, but I don't know how to explain them in English).
My family was removed from Sweden to make a bird sanctuary on Getteron Island. I'm just beginning to understand that we went to the new world for being a little too Lappish. The removal is permanent. No return to Sweden at all.

Unfortunately, I have been worrying about this for years. As soon as people begin to actually suffer from Global Warming, whether deadly heat waves, or failed harvests, they will turn toward fascism. Europe almost fell due to the financial crisis and there was enough food for everyone. The other side of the coin, is that there will be ten times the number of refugees and asylum seekers at the borders. If we could barely survive Syria, when Bangladesh is submerged... I also agree with your solution. To address the powerless rage of the white working class, we need strong unions. This gives the working man, a sense of strength and the struggle is against the real enemy.
Unions are not the answer, at best they're a small part of an international or post-national anti-imperialist/anti-capitalist revolution, but in the imperial core, they function more to maintain capitalism and enable labor aristocracy and unequal exchange than anything progressive or actually anti-capitalist. Also, simply collectivizing labor is no fix in itself because degrowth and redistribution are the real solutions at the moment.
@Philip M I misread "onions are not... 😆 "
But indeed, in our Netherlands, the unions cooperated in the "consultation model" to make deals to trade off limited salary rise for job security, leading to a steady economic growth for 30+ years (with the odd dip).
Arthur Berman, who's been charting oil production and consumption for over 30 years, also mapped the consecutive 27 COP climate conferences against agreements and the degree in which countries kept their promises. Zero improvement in 30 years. Berman still is convinced not climate policies, but production constraints will bring down oil production on mid term - after which energy companies may return to coal. Bit pessimistic, that outlook, but so far the low rate of success of climate policy doesn't bode well - nort does a right wing swing of voters following rising prices and increasing migration / refugee numbers

@@philipm3173 The problem there is the Reagan administration essentially crippled/invalidated *small* unions, forcing what was left to become as big as one of the corporations themselves.
Im from Portugal, and here the far right is quite aware of the climate change however, as in all capitalist states they tend to value econmic growth more than climate action. The biggest problem the next 5 generations will have to face is climate changes, wether you like it or not....
They only care about it enough to profit off of or not lose profit in case of
Climate change will cause some major adjustment to the global population. Eventually Global famine and Global Water scarcity will cost millions and millions and millions of humans to die or migrate North out of the hot States or hot regions of the planet it is becoming a very deadly during the peak summer months of the northern hemisphere in particular down by the equator. I've seen sea surface temperatures between the Philippines and Vietnam of ninety-one degrees Fahrenheit that's going to cause a global food shortage as Seafood becomes more scarce due to the increasing temperatures 50% of all the world's Coral have died off due to heat waves
Sincere question… Do you think, as a country that has gone through fascism, that the far right have a loud voice that could have the same degree of persuasion; or is there a distaste for it?
Thanks ❤
@@thefirm4606, persuation in what sense? To try and push for the climate action?
And our fascism was not that close to Italy's fascism or Spain's dictatorial regime, for example. However the far right party does enjoy that line of thought. So far, what has kept the party alive is its leader, who is very intelligent, very strategic and very sensible. When he goes away the party will eventually die out...
@@thetechnicanwithaheart1682, yes! This is very true. But again, people like to find excuses not to work towards change, like saying that they like to live in the present, volcanoes are the guilty ones and so on...
It is unfortunate that because of corporate greed we wont be able to actually find a middle ground between living standards and sustainability. PROUT might be a way out though...
...As a Slav. I was taught to hunt by my father. *We're immigrants to North America* but in my life and in my family's history we were taught by the Native Chippewa people on ways to hunt and survive. I had an uncle to killed rebel traitors in the u.s. civil war.
Yes we're pale and the forests are sacred to my family but I can't help but to think this world is a great and beautiful place for ALL people.
My family was shown ways to hunt by the Natives of North America.
I'm willing to show an Arab Muslim or a Black person what I know about the forests. Why not? I don't own the forest. It's for eveyone and those of us who learn and respect the wild thrive in it.
Anyone who claims the world is for only one race or only one bloodline is a liar.
This is what the world should be.
I wish we could just get rid of the idea of nationalities and just share the earth together in a sustainable way so that the human race could continue to strive. We should be very pro science and have one ideology which is about a better future. We can attain the better future through science and sustainable economy.
Look at how much blacks and browns hate whites. When polled, over half of the blacks expressed a strong dislike of whites. You might want to help the blacks and browns but they have no such thought for you

@@Ugg_Son_Of_Thogg it has never worked that way and will never work that way, the collective human race is a myth, people are different from each other, on average.

Yes but good news for the roaches.
I fear that the failings of our broken neoliberal system that prioritises the interests of the wealthy will keep pushing more and more towards the far right, thinking this system is socialist because of a few social policies and a large authoritarian state.
Only going to increase as continued climate instability increases the numbers of refugees too.
Weeds blossoming through cracks in the pavement give me hope though. I need to believe that life will flourish after we're gone and sent the world into a rapid destabilisation event.

@@Dragrath1 that would give us some honor in at least making a an effort to not take most everything else out with us.
Don't worry war is good for the environment just ask any leftist about bombing Russia and China
It is interesting that you mention "broken neoliberal system" since as a Halfbreed here in Portland Oregon I have had altercations with both the Prius Liberals and MAGA Pickup Truck Owners. Both have made it clear that I am not welcome here:
The MAGA types usually use the Sp-word and tell me to "Deport yourself" which is twisted since I am of European, First Nations and Native American Ancestry. How exactly can I deport myself to the flooded plains of Beringa???
The Prius Pseudo Liberals had a cow about my 84 Audi 4000 Quattro [a compact car] and now that I had to buy a car that had a softer ride, due to an assault by a neighbor who knew I had a broken back,. As both the Audi Quattro and Mustang GT had install kits available for Recarro seats so I could have Recarro's Orthopedic seats installed. So I am now hearing about how I am "killing the environment", when 20 to 25 mpg is really good fuel economy for an Accessible Vehicle.
The crazy part is that I used to use Portland's Mass Transit more than I drove. Unfortunately Trimet Buses ride too harshly for the compression injury of my back. As Trimet over-inflates the tires on their buses to increase the fuel economy by 8% making them ride like a cement truck or like a Prius....
So my take is that we just have increasing intolerance since it shouldn't matter that I live here since some of my ancestors have been in North America for at least 15000 years. Nor should it matter if people from Latin America move here since they have ancestors who have been in the Americas for at least 15000 years. And it really shouldn't matter that I drive an accessible car less than 5000 miles a year...

To be honest about the overpopulation issue, it's the people using the most resources at the most intensive level (wealthy individuals and economies) that are doing the most damage to the environment by having kids who also consume lots of resources , not poor people.
Exactly. Kris Jenner, a wealthy woman, had 6 kids. This early kids fly private jets, etc. Her and her children use more resources than tens of poor people in the Global South.
yeah. they even say something about how selfish they are for wanting enough kids to ensure at least one to survive to adulthood. some people even want the rich countries to stop selling them medicines so more of those kids would die. explaining them that they are having a lot of children because those children are dieing is futile. as is explaining that the Africa is not overpopulated. they don't lack food. they lack roads by which the food would be sent and sold from the areas where the harvest was good to the ones where it was very bad. roads, railways and other types of infrastructure are the things that have proven themselves as the best ways of helping the third world countries. that is probably the reason why the "humanitarian" agencies are almost never building them. they are rather doing the things the poor are completely capable of doing themselves without outside help instead. that is not help. that is neocolonialism.
I would agree to that. For instance water being used to fill olympic-sized pools. Gentrification.
You fail to consider time and circumstances. The poor in the rich countries are the worst polluters and most damaging. The poor in the world causing overpopulation will become a plague on the earth in the near future.
@@lightdark00 The rich from the rich countries are the worst. Next are the rich from the poor countries. There is no overpopulation. It is a myth. Also, the birthrates are plummeting. Everywhere. Population of the world is not growing from the babies being born anymore. It is now growing because they are not dieing in such a large numbers anymore. Majority of people live in the countries with below replacement fertility. World is currently at the replacement level fertility. In just a few years it will be bellow. Why are you so scared of the poor? Have they "stolen your job" or something?
I'll point out just one thing, if it's possible stop using the term Latinx, people from Latinoamerica are proud of being called Latinos, because it means born or from Latinoamerica. Latinx is not a terminology that we used for us, latinoamerican people. That term is a label used by people or parties in the USA that don't represent us. Just call us Latinos. BTW I love your videos, keep with the great content.

i often fear humanity may never wake up from its vapid and self interested mass psychosis
Humanity has done such things throughout the ages. So it's nothing new, and nothing that will go away.
Your fears are justified because methods of power application has evolved greatly and now we are seeing a mantra of "flaw acceptance" being promoted as a means of stopping anyone wishing to create change by branding them as ignorant idealists pursuing utopianism. There is nothing wrong with wishing for things to change for the better and trying to do so. But letting problems slide by calling them normal is not good. I fear that we might be taking a step towards a new evil form of "enlightenment" where morals will be deemed as weakness and power abuse for selfishness will become the new "good."
yeah the more self-made problems that humanity imposes on itself constantly throughout history makes me believe that we needed a few more hundred-thousand years of social evolution before settling down in societies.

I wonder how things would develope if the majority of climate activists starts acting more agressive and destructive against the fossile industry
Lights out. Currently wind and solar make up about 3% of the world's energy production. Wood makes up 10% - more than 3x more than wind and solar. The only near-term replacement for fossil fuels is nuclear fission (NOT fusion). Life is a about trade offs.

A more immediate danger in my country is the clout and sway held by the fossil fuel industry with those who think they are moderates, and don't act very fascist, but oppose immigration and green development across the board because of risks to "business" - meaning danger to their large donations.
Instead of dealing with climate change with painful but needed system wide modifications, far right leaders want to block the migration that their policies will make necessary. Eco-refugees will get more numerous as coastal aread get flooded, etc.

This topic / issue is new to me. It's unbelievable that a small section of society actually gets a kick out of making profit from disasters, critical resource scarcity (we're not taking diamonds here, we're talking about clean air & water, food, cost of living, crirical housing & healthcare, increasing extreme weather than costs lives). What does it say about a person that needs to feel superior & gets pleasure from the misfortune of others?
What's also distressing is that society has enabled this by remaining quiet and supporting leaders that prioritise the interests of the few over the interests of the community.
The world IS making steady progress forward, hopefully quick enough to avoid catastrophe. But no-one should remain on the fence any longer. Get involved in community action to make where you live sustainable, integrated, inclusive, green, safe & climate-ready... and gender-sensitive and child-friendly. Every community project that makes a difference helps... like puzzle pieces fitting together to create a picture of hope & prosperity for all.
Response to your opening paragraph: Have you met the human race? for the most part, we're jerks. Evolution is slow. And your final paragraph is encouraging that as slow as evolution, physical, intellectual and cultural, is, it's still moving in what we hope is the right direction. ❤

It's no wonder education is so expensive in America... got to keep those constituents ignorant.
I always get freaked out when people bring up over population, and how things would be so much more sustainable if billions of people just suddenly didn't exist. It would always be extra convenient if those billions came from somewhere else, not here at home. We don't need a mass die off to become a sustainable civilization, we just need better resource management and priorities.

This is why we need to invest in modern advanced nuclear energy options. Small form reactors, LFTRs, Thorium Reactors, liquid reactors. Utilizing our advanced modern technology, engineering, material science, safety measures understandings and designs, computer technology, robotics, It will really allow any nation to be pretty much be energy independent. Less reliant on fossil fuels. They'll have efficient, stable electrical grids and the rest of the grid could experiment with alternative power sources, etc.
We need to heal from the trauma of our past and see that it came solely from Us not understanding what we were doing, not have advanced enough technology, material science, engineering, safety measures, understanding of how to go about everything, etc. This source of energy will greatly help the world improve towards the future and lowering emissions more than anything else could while having a very stable electrical grid system. Currently we have alternative energy options but the majority of our grid is powered off of fossil fuels and emission producing sources of energy. We will be so much better going forward commiting to modern advanced nuclear energy options.

I hope we start getting rid of old river dams. {I truly believe, The more our surroundings flourish, the more we all flourish.} With how bad I've been seeing "water level/droughts" in the Western America lately. I really hope we not only reintroduce Beavers all over to influence more water collection to important area's that we can use to supply crops, deal with forest fires. Instead of running our water straight back out to the sea or blocking the rivers natural process for the ecosystem to thrive. There are new mini hydro turbines that could be utilized in combo with nuclear power.
We've really messed up natural waterways from poorly designed hydroelectric projects. Before we knew how much negative impact they have on our Ecosystem's biodiversity, water oxygen levels, algae blooms, nutrient flow from inland location's to off shore location's. In some areas like where I live in NW Oregon, rivers are a direct connection from the ocean to the inland ecosystems. Keeping the rivers free is how we keep those ecosystems flourishing which directly connects to our qualities of Life. Our natural waterways are crucial aspects of the entire overall health of every aspect of our environment and anything that connects to that environment. In Oregon, we had some of the best Salmon runs on the planet and lush inland forests, wetland ecosystems, beaver's that created special habitats that held extra water/fire safety and all that got totally flipped upside down from all the hydro dams they built in the early 1900s, and many other practices we once commonly did. Before we knew or understood the negative effects and outcomes that comes from altering them into man made waterways. So I really hope to see tons of projects that are working on rewilding areas for the sole purpose of reestablishing ecosystem's that once flourished. Because Humans inherently do better when their environment is doing better. It provides a ton of benefit to it's people and to the quality of Life as a whole for not just humans but the entire ecosystem around you which will definitely have positive impacts to so many layers to people's life's and your community as a whole.

I live in an area that is heavily armed. My friends and family are conservatiuve.

Actually San Sepolcro declaration was quite progressive and socialist. A few years later fascists were recruited by landowners and capitalists to repress strikers and trade unionists during the "Red Biennium" of revolts.
What this video says about John Muir is not true. He arrived in Yosemite Valley in 1868, which was more than 10 years after the indigenous people had been removed during the Gold Rush. In the 1880's Muir lived with the Tlingit Indians in Alaska and said many positive things about them. Read his book "Travels in Alaska".
You honestly expect even a lick of critical thinking or fact checked history from a video that is calling the far right fascist right in it's thumbnail? They clearly don't even know the actual English definition of fascism. Fascism these days to the woke is, "whoever disagrees with me! Bwhaaa!" Not. "Those who would use force, defamation, and coercion to push, and enforce their ideals." Antifa for example, fight the "fascists in government." By asking for bigger government and assaulting anyone who disagrees with them. If that's not Anti Fascist then I don't know what is! Oh wait... No nevermind, that's not Anti Fascist, community that literally calls itself anti fascist. That's actually just straight up being fascist. Tldr: The irony of the name Antifa is not lost on me, as it too should not be lost on anyone with a mind that functions beyond the ancient reptilian brain.

i've been going on about this for so long it's great to see a well done video about it. it's a monumental challenge to dismantle such an all-encompassing system where fossil fuels are so entrenched in our way of life and fossil capital makes up a vast majority of all existing wealth. we have to metaphorically flip the table and rebuild a whole new way of doing things, but how do we do that when the state is held captive by fossil capital and racists. humanity is being held hostage by the fascists even before they get into any major positions of power simply by the passive support of the self-interested so-called "moderate centrist". it's as the saying goes: silence is violence.

Imo the fact that many people not involved in business are, and have been calling themselves Nazis means that they never accepted defeat after WWII. In other words, the war technically never ended.

My life fades, my vision dims. All that remains are memories. I remember a time of chaos, ruined dreams, this wasted land. Most of all, I remember the man we called Max, the road warrior. To understand who he was we have to go back to the other time. When the world was powered by the black fuel, and the desert sprung great cities of pipe and steel. Gone now, swept away. For reasons long forgotten two mighty warrior tribes went to war and touched off a blaze which engulfed them all. Without fuel they were nothing. They’d built a house of straw. Suddenly their machines sputtered and stopped. Their leaders talked and talked and talked, but nothing could stem the avalanche. Their world crumbled. Cities exploded. A whirlwind of looting and a firestorm of fear. Men began to feed on men. On the roads it was a white-line nightmare. Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the highways, waging war for a tank of juice. Good brave men were battered and smashed. Men like Max, who ruled the highways in the name of the law. Who became a lover, husband, father. And with the roar of an engine, he lost everything, his woman, his child, his world. He wandered out into the wasteland, and here he would learn, amid the dark wreckage, that the fire which burns in the heart of man, will endure. Hope survives. th-cam.com/video/riXRyGxf48Y/w-d-xo.html

I have to admit, that opening has always spoken in a very powerful way ... thanks for the reminder, even as it brings tears to my eyes.
The illusion that fuel-reliant cars will continue to be viable in a primitive post-apocalyptic society is hilarious, and honestly more of a sign of our obsession with cars, if anything. Without constant extraction, shipping, and refining, fuel supplies would quickly run dry all over the world.
More climate change -> more immigrants -> more fascism -> more climate change -> more immigrants -> more fascism -> ... another climate feedback loop that isn't part of any IPCC models.
We have to separate border control from anti immigrant racism.
While they absolutely cross over, they are also completely separate.
For example - all import and export rules, as well as drug and illegal items trade is either enforced at the border, or have no effect.
There are lots of practical reasons why borders exist and are enforced.
The point I’d love to get across is that it isn’t inherently racist to want a secured border, as was suggested with the clip about the Arizona government official.
In fact, if you took AOC or any progressive politician and told them they weren’t allowed to have a fence or a front door because it’s racist they’d very soon look and sound just like the people they condemn all the time.
This is not making any excuses for the openly racist, incredibly sad actual racist ideas and statements that get made about immigrants and borders. That sucks.
Just can we be nuanced about this and appreciate the practicality of physical boundaries for our existence please? Haha
There’s two problems with your statements: 1) AOC is a centrist, only a leftist in American politics that lacks a labor movement, let alone any mire egalitarian system; and 2) even if borders are not racist, it does not mean they are good; being not racist is such a low bar. Borders are violent even if they are not racist and that’s a problem already. Their existence, especially in the modern hyper delineated state is a new phenomenon and hurts everyone.
@@lawrencehan7385 I love this.
Thinking about whether borders are good or bad is interesting and constructive. The video creator said or insinuated a number of times that borders and their enforcement is racist. That’s all I was critiquing.
@@cordeauxboi The videos talks about borders in an eco-fascist perspective, where fascists uses environmental concerns to push through their hierarchical concerns while maintaining the virtues of the current capitalistic system.
The racist elements from eco-fascism stems from two parts: where the effects of climate changes will happen fastest, the tropics, where countries are already disproportionately poor because of exploitation by colonial powers, which forces people from those areas to migrate to wealthier and more resilient areas; and the second part where the skin color of those in the Global South are darker, playing into preconceived racist notions developed during the colonial era. Eco-fascists can ahistorically talk about the environment then blame on the problems on maintaining borders in a "colorblind" fashion, while not mentioning the greater, global context of climate change and its problems. It's why eco-fascist solutions are abysmal and will only help the rich and fossil fuel industries which only care about current profits, not the future world.
@@lawrencehan7385 thanks, I see what you’re saying.
This still does not make borders or their enforcement racist, which the video says pretty upfront. But I see what you’re saying.
I think that attributing the abundance of equatorial nations to colonial pillaging is not necessarily accurate, while almost always being one of a number of factors. This would be the same problem I see with saying that western countries are only prosperous because of resource and labor colonial theft. While it certainly helped, to explain everything western countries have today as dependent on or mainly attributable to colonial theft is just not the reality as I understand it.
Many many nations have enslaved other ethnicities or nations, many times through millennia. There are other factors that have led to the abundance and increase in quality of life that humanity experiences today, even beyond yesterday countries (access to clean water, food, education and average life expectancy world wide has never been higher in the history of our species, despite the gigantic number of people.

Second Thought is focused on critiquing capitalism and serves as a general entry-level socialism channel for beginners, whereas this channel is specifically eco-socialist, which is a branch of socialism and environmentalism.
Most channels are broadly environmentalist and do not subscribe to any particular ideology, so this channel is pretty unconventional.
But everything that is said on this channel is backed up by evidence, and it is this channel that actually got me into eco-socialism.

In Poland the thing about mining is that during the communism miners were very privileged group. Nowadays, when coal mining became unprofitable due to exhaustion of easily accesible seams miners still fight tooth and nail to retain at least part of their privileges. And it is quite a lot of them, so... They are just interesting group to be targeted when time of election comes around ;))
But yeah, otherwise PiS plays on the emotions of people, trying to find topics to distract society from malversation that occurs on daily basis, always looking for external threats... Polish society became really polarized, especially after 2010 Smoleńsk accident.
It's not just Poland. Britain had a similar problem in the 80s, when our coal industry became unprofitable due to reduced demand and access to bulk imports of lower-cost imported coal. It didn't go well. Our government of the time was not at all supportive of the miners though - really to an extreme. Former mining towns are still angry about that to this day. The Conservative party does not negotiate with strikers in much the same way that the government does not negotiate with terrorists: They are the enemy and are to be destroyed, not debated.
The US has a similar failure of coal culturally, but for another reason: Improved technology. With bigger and more capable industrial machinery, the need to have a thousand men with picks at the coal-face ended. Now it's one man operating the hydraulic mining machine. So while the coal industry is still going strong, a mine no longer employs a workforce huge enough to support an entire town. There are towns which were built economically and culturally around coal mining, and are now left with a collective feeling of having no more purpose.

at some point i hope humans get that we already share the same atmosphere, so we should work together to fix what we have done to it.
Fascism should be more than a buzzword or as a multiplier attached to another word that already describes something.
"Fascism" comes from the word fasces and fasces comes from the word fascio. A fasces is an ax supported by a uniform bundle of sticks. The ax represents rule by violent authority and the bundle represents the people's consent made uniform by the ax. The bundle of sticks that represents the people's consent is called a fascio. The whole idea of fascism relies on the people's consent and how violent authority shapes the people's perception of reality to manipulate that consent.
Nationalism is nationalism, racism is racism, classism is classism, etc, fascism is none of these things, these things are all symptoms of fascism.

Friendly reminder that even if we abolished all fossil fuel production and use this second, we still wouldn't be able to stop/reverese climate change without ending animal agriculture. As well as loss of biodiversity, pandemic risk, water loss, ocean dead zones, deforrestation and more.
Veganism is at the very heart of of saving the climate. It is a non-exploitative relationship to all lifes and nature itself.
Obviously capitalism must also be abolished, but animal agriculture is the most urgent and easy to start to adress out of all aspects of climate destruction.
And yes, the current fascist wave that is the latest expression of conservative capitalism is horrific. And pretty much all its leading advocates, Jordan Peterson, Daily Wire, PragerU and fox news are financed by big oil and cattle industry.

This video and, from what it sounds, Malm's text tie in with Christian Parenti's work Tropic of Chaos which discusses the oncoming and ongoing exodus of climate refugees arriving from countries disproportionately affected by climate change. He observes that the stance being taken by these countries refugees look to to escape their situation is the militarizing of borders and turning towards fortress mentalities, despite the fact that these same countries are largely responsible for the climate displacement.
