Is 4 billion deaths enough?
<p>It’s hot af in Toronto right now, and my climate anxiety has been through the roof. In this episode, I reflect on the state of the climate crisis from a global perspective and all the feels that come up in the face of seemingly impending horror. I also discuss the current political moment, and the places where we can potentially intervene to make meaningful climate interventions. </p><p>More specifically, I discuss: </p><p>* Recent global heatwaves and how they’ve impacted my daily life</p><p>* AMOC collapse (we’ve got 11 years y’all!)</p><p>* A recent report on predicted climate death tolls (up to 4 billion by 2050!!)</p><p>* The climate migrant crisis </p><p>* Apathy that can emerge from climate anxiety </p><p>* Political example: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s current anti-environment laws and policies </p><p>* The NEED to cease all fossil fuel production ASAP </p><p>* Why I don’t discuss climate in my own content as much as ‘other issues’</p><p>* Entry points to make change (here is the<a target="_blank" href="https://350.org/canada/?r=CA&c=NA#action"> petition</a> that I mention!) </p><p>Thank you for listening, and let me know in the comments how you’re feeling about climate change and what actions you might take to fight against the powers at be ;) </p><p>In solidarity!</p><p><strong>Leftie Jane is a reader funded publication by me, a queer disabled activist and writer.

Our kids worship Elon Musk
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit <a href="https://leftiejane.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_7">leftiejane.substack.com</a><br/><br/><p>"Generations from now, when future anthropologists try to make sense of this moment in the American experiment, looking to our idols for clues about our priorities, they will need to contend with a perplexing but undeniable fact: in America, we worship our bosses." - David Gelles in The Man Who Broke Capitalism (2022)</p><p>Recently, I asked one of my Grade 4 students to write a paragraph about their favourite superhero. They wrote a paragraph about none other than Elon Musk.</p><p>In today’s episode, I draw on David Gelles’ recent book The Man Who Broke Capitalism, as well as my own research on capitalist annihilation to reflect on the current state of capitalist worship that plagues our society. What does it say when a society’s heroes are morally bankrupt billionaires?</p><p>In today’s podcast episode, we deep dive into:</p><p>* The debate of whether capitalism is broken, or is merely functioning as it was designed to (ie. to self annihilate)</p><p>* The process of manufacturing capitalism following the downfall of the welfare state, and the insidiousness of capitalism to impact our worldview</p><p>* Blurring the lines between celebrity, politician, and capitalist, so as to render capitalists aspirational and thereby normalize capitalism</p><p>* The effects of ignoring moral bankruptcy, in spite even of evidence in the Epstein files</p><p>* Policy solutions, and their limitations so long as we don’t dismantle capitalism at the level of our minds</p>
