Now I’m thinking about environmental racism, the capitalist class truly love shitting where they don’t eat. Fuck factory farming, fuck oil pipelines and fuck AI data centers. There are more things to list but I’m hungry rn. Guess it’s colonialism all the way down same like with the police.
it’s the “our industrial revolution was cool and good but theirs is unnecessary” shit turning around like they actually care instead of an attempt to knee cap other countries to preserve their power.
To add to this: if you think about where most oil refinement facilities are located as well as other environmentally harmful industries (think chemical processing, industrial farming, etc) in the US and Canada, the people who are almost always disproportionately affected are black and brown people.
I was thinking about this because there was recently a story of how some white suburbanites are upset because a storage battery facility was going to be put in the neighborhood. And I started thinking about how much attention the story would have gotten if it had been a predominantly black/brown neighborhood.
Yup I first heard of this when it came to pipelines running to close to white cities but indigenous people’s land is alright why not. The power white people have to move shit can’t be understated.
There was a documentary recent one about how musk data centers were affecting those communities in horrible ways and nothings being done. Was from more perfect union.
hope you all have a good next week

And it will get worse. They already try to pin all the blame on India etc like cumulative effective isn’t a thing

Poor air quality too, all these things adding up to millions of excess deaths every year and guess who’s impacted the least
