This 📕 is dedicated to unmasking wind energy as wind extractivism, a segment of “green extractivism,” documenting ecocidal/genocidal consequences.
Can we justify sacrificing the lands of entire communities to maintain our ways of living? 🛍️🚗
🇪🇺 Can the EU's green transition be truly just? ⚖️
Join tomorrow's launch of our
#SacrificeZones
report which sheds light on these questions and more.

Im pleased to join the editorial team at

There is a lot of talk about “socialism” & Marxist jargon, but why not support & celebrate (or be) resistance here & now?

Quote of the day!🎉
“The path to disastrous climate change is paved with feasibility studies & impact assessments.”

R.I.P. James C. Scott.
A brilliant scholar and committed anarchist who dedicated his life to proving that, until quite recently, "self-governing peoples were the great majority of humankind," and that states are neither inevitable nor desirable.
Check out Renewing Destruction, my first book!
I thought it would have made more of a splash considering the topic, yet few ppl reviewed it.
