Yes, was going to post that grayzone link as well, as much as the 'corporate greenwashing' description made me wince!

For those living in countries whose governments ignored calls from Bolivia + Ecuador for true climate justice, this should be a self-critical moment. We should have pushed much harder for our nations to pay our climate debts to open up a different path. Naomi Klein added, Alfredo Romero @Alf_RomeroM Replying to @NaomiAKlein Yes, that's one good thing and why I voted for him early on. However, he kept those nice things for publicity and didn't implement them. He pushed hugely unsustainable projects, and let forests the size of Costa Rica to burn this year.

The idea was what is now being called a #GreenNewDeal.

Naomi Klein added, Dr Claire Wordley @clairefrwordley Replying to @NaomiAKlein Naomi I respect you hugely, and yes there are racist elements at play here which must 100% be stopped. But there are also many Indigenous and leftist people who were protesting against Morale & the International Left is excluding their voices.

This is bigger than one politician: it's about overthrowing people power and clearing the path for unfettered extraction Naomi Klein added, Nick Estes @nick_w_estes Masked armed men are rounding up Bolivian leftists. They are burning Wiphala indigenous flags. The military is ripping those flags from their uniforms. The settler oligarchy is ramping up its revanchist violence. This is a lesson Indigenous socialists must heed. We are targets. Show this thread 115 replies 3,528 retweets 7,728 likes |
