If I were to write a headline of last night’s wildfires, I would write: “Los Angeles Burns in Corporate-Backed Climate Offensive” or “Los Angeles Engulfed by Fires in Ongoing Climate Conflict Waged by the Ultra-Rich.”
But I would go further, as the people in charge are just the wielders of power in a system that incentivizes them. If it wasn’t them, it would be someone else. Because the economic, political, and cultural system we are part of—not just in America but the world over— is based around exploitation. Its roots go deep, based in slavery, authoritarianism, and genocide.
