About this episode
This episode discusses the connection between U.S. invasions and fossil fuel interests, highlighting the implications of fossil fascism in the context of the climate crisis.
The U.S. invasions of Venezuela and Iran are more of the same imperialism in service of oil majors. As the climate crisis makes its presence more urgently felt, fossil fascism dictates a doubling-down on extraction and colonialism, and the vilification of those who oppose or stand in the way of that plan.
