Wow. I’d like to think I’ve always suspected that capitalism is toxic, but that little part of my brain had no inkling of the scale to which consumerism is taking over our world in the worst way. Naomi Klein lays out the facts here and illustrates them with compelling examples - eg, the right’s anti-green stance comes out of recognizing how much the capitalist system would need to change for environmental good

Naomi Klein is such a smart writer and researcher. She pivots from the economic chokehold that oil companies have over government to the ideology of using the earth as our waste dump in the last few chapters of this first section. She describes the disparity between noticing climate change and having the tools to act on it - “western culture has worked very hard to erase indigenous cosmologies”
