Anti-Fascist Economics
In Defense of Affordability, Dignity, and Democracy, By Isabella Weber

"In a neoliberal world, we tell people at the same time: Democracy is the highest form of political organization. And: When it comes to the economy, to the material foundation of our life, the best the representatives of the people can do is to subordinate their constituencies to the corporate pursuit of profits.This basic contradiction between the rule of the people and the rule of the market makes neoliberal democracy vulnerable to the threat of fascism..." >>

Society must anticipate: prepare not for this year's climate but for the future climates. 🧵

Hot climate extremes and overcrowded industrial agriculture

* Extreme heat wave in France kills hundreds of thousands of poultry >>

* "The heat is also hitting cattle farmers. High temperatures reduce feed intake, increase water demand and ⁠cut milk output. They're standing there with their mouths wide open, just trying to find air...It's very difficult, physically for people and for the animals." >>

Immersion in a hot toxic soup

From humans, wildlife and invertebrates: Simultaneous exposure of toxins and climate harms likely to cause reduced fertility

An " ‘alarming’ effect on fertility across global species from simultaneous exposures."

"The chemicals are ubiquitous in consumer goods, so humans are often regularly exposed."

“There is enough evidence in both areas to act to reduce our impact on the planet...The solution to the systemic problems would involve reining in climate change and reducing the use of toxic chemicals." >>

"Sea level rise (SLR)
poses a prominent challenge to current and future generations, impacting the habitability of coastlines, trade routes, and major infrastructure systems near the ocean."

"Our results highlight geographic variability in exposure and demonstrate the benefits that low-emissions pathways imply for preserving built environments."

This essay calls "for a radical shift in language from narratives that obscure violence to those affirming Palestinian presence, history, and sovereignty."
