COP Can’t Go On Like This - Heatmap News

COP Can’t Go On Like This - Heatmap News: Geopolitics, the heightened importance of climate change, and the sheer size of the conference have transformed the event into something that it was never meant to be.

The point is clearly to strategize how best to profit from planetary destruction while barely slowing down the ecocidal capitalist machine.

Capitalogenic disease: social determinants in focus | BMJ Global Health

Capitalogenic disease: social determinants in focus | BMJ Global Health: Scholarship on the social determinants of health and disease has become firmly established over the past several decades. This school of thought has created space for academics and health professionals to consider the structural factors that may produce ill health, generate health inequalities and prevent access to healthcare or other goods and services necessary for human welfare.1 Research on social determinants has been developed through attention to ‘structural violence’,2 ‘commercial determinants’3 and the ‘causes of the causes’ of disease.4 These are useful analytical developments. But terms such as structures, commerce and so on are generic descriptors, and it may be useful to further specify the particular political and economic systems that are at stake. This includes paying attention to capitalism and dynamics of capital accumulation. Given that capitalism prevails in nearly every country, and organises the world economy, it seems necessary to develop analytical frameworks that can help us understand and assess its implications for health outcomes, which have been described in existing literature.5 It is important to clarify what we mean by capitalism. People often assu

I have updated my Biden Disappointment Resource: Instead of a newsletter this week, I updated my Biden disappointment resource for day 1042 of the Biden presidency (rounded to day 100). The disappointment resource includes a list of every action Biden has taken that has angered progressives. It’s a great list to send to someone who might not understand why many young people have been extremely disappointed with the first three years of President Biden’s presidency.

Last month, I had a chance to interview Sylvia Wynter about the pandemic, Black studies, and radicalism in our current moment. What began as a series of catch-ups over the course of the pandemic, turned into this short interview—a glimpse into the conversations we’ve had over the last several months. This interview revisits some major themes in her work(s), with the added context of our current/ongoing context of the pandemic/rebellion/authoritarian politics. Most importantly, this conversation spotlights her commitment to realizing the Third Event, a break defined by language and storytelling, as the way out of our current and persistent predicaments.

And I just think it's worth noting that the western media who've lately been condoning these moves became outraged at Donald Trump just a few years ago for doing the same thing to a far lesser degree.
