Patreon Preview 270. The Kayfabe of Climate Capital

Published: July 26, 2023, 1:16 a.m.

b'We talk about the kayfabe of the green transition as the woke capitalists at Blackrock appoint Aramco to its board of directors, meanwhile the social justice warriors in the mining industry are doing land acknowledgements before ripping out rare earth minerals needed for renewable energy. These are the champions of a sustainable planet for human life. They are not the champions we deserve, nor are they ones we need, but they are the only ones we have.\\n\\nStuff we reference:\\n\\u2022\\u2022\\u2022 Total life insurance: Logics of anticipatory control and actuarial governance in insurance technology https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/03063127231186437 \\n\\u2022\\u2022\\u2022 BlackRock Appoints CEO of Oil Giant Aramco to Its Board https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-17/blackrock-names-aramco-ceo-amin-nasser-to-its-board-of-directors#xj4y7vzkg \\n\\u2022\\u2022\\u2022 A Good Prospect\\u200b | Mining Climate Anxiety for Profit https://www.thedriftmag.com/a-good-prospect/ \\n\\u2022\\u2022\\u2022 Shell Is Looking Forward https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/03/shell-climate-change.html \\n\\nSubscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills \\n\\nHosted by Jathan Sadowski (www.twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).
