Good to see this ability to make connections between the the issues of militarism, colonialism and climate & ecological destruction hasn't completely died in the green/environmentalist movement. It's been ages since I heard the more mainstream figures in those circles even pay lip service to these fairly obvious but utterly crucial points. Greens are too gung ho for Ukraine & NATO and too scared of being called antisemites. Monbiot is too busy smearing people as genocide apologists (not about the Israeli genocide, obvs) or claiming fake omelettes made from lab grown bacteria are edible and some kind of solution to anything. XR has become irrelevant, JSO are pulling stunts without much deep analysis. Roger Hallam thought Palestinians should try nonviolent resistance(!). Thunberg has managed it up to a point I suppose. Anyway, a solid speech, thx for posting. I
