Jonathan Cook: Monbiot is right about the wickedness of capitalism. Yet he acts as its propagandist
jonathancook.substack.com Monbiot is right about the wickedness of capitalism. Yet he acts as its propagandistCapitalism is irredeemably destructive, warns George Monbiot. So why is he shilling for the Guardian, when its role is to create bipartisan support for crushing the anti-capitalist, anti-war left?
This article is a critique of Monbiot’s recent interview with Chris Hedges: The Secret History of Neoliberalism 📺
Hedges is also critical of capitalism, but, being an incorrigible liberal trapped in capitalist realism, the best he can imagine is worker coops or every person being their own petty bourgeois shopkeeper.

Negative European energy prices hit record levels. Renewable energy isn't great for producers!
on.ft.com Negative European energy prices hit record levelRapid rollout of solar and wind generation has outpaced ability to store power
> While beneficial to consumers who are able to take advantage, for example by charging an electric car or running appliances, it also threatens to undermine the viability of Europe's renewable energy projects, which are critical to hitting net zero targets.
> "It's akin to a hara-kiri," said Bjarne Schieldrop, chief commodities analyst at Swedish lender SEB "Everyone knows that if you produce too much oil, the price will crash and producers lose money. And there's nothing different in renewable energy and power either."
I almost can't believe the absolute shitiness of this. I suppose the implication is why would producers build power stations (no doubt with govt. subsidises!) if they can't make a profit!

> As an ecology major: maybe don't try comparing human society to ecology. Ecology is a really fucked up system if you really think about it with organisms constantly trying to eat or starve each other and dying as horribly and with as much suffering as they lived. Is that what we want in our society of intelligent, logical creatures? Plenty of other animals gave figured this out and formed cooperative social groups where individuals do things with the explicit intent to benefit the collective, why can't humans? > > Consult Maslow's Pyramid. If you can't afford to feed yourself or your family, don't have stable housing, clean water, or social mobility, chances are "but you're so diverse!" isn't a consolation in your eyes. > > Finally, the issue with rich (human) places being less diverse is entirely the fault of capitalism favouring the richest, and colonialism destroying the existing cultures. It's absolutely not caused by simply having more resources. Which, what the hell are they going on about rich places (their implication being the US and Canada) having existed for not that long? No no, it existed for ages, but y'all killed all the indigenous people and installed a fake culture on it and are pretending that it was the first one. Also, what about Western Europe? It's existed for ages too, yet is about as (un)diverse as the US or Canada with each country basically being its own ethnostate. In fact, the US and Canada are more diverse than most Western European countries due to having more immigrants.
