I would hate to miss #FridaysForFinance

Let's start with this.

Oct. 15 2019, Thunberg:

"I have never said that we can’t have economic growth. I have just said that instead of focusing on economic growth & talking about money, we should talk about human lives & ecosystems."

That sounds a lot like this from Klein:

"But I have never said that we need to "slay" "ditch" or "dismantle" #capitalism in order to fight climate change."

@empathiser No wonder Susan Rockefeller (pictured), Angel Gurría, The Guardian etc. etc. - all love Klein so much.

#GreenGrowth
#FridaysForFinance
#SavingCapitalism
#Rebrand

@empathiser "This changes everything, the documentary. In partnership with the Guardian..."

Of course it was.

Enraptured by the Spectacle

@empathiser This meme from MoveOn (co-founder of Avaaz) - today at the helm of the US Youth Climate Strike group.

@empathiser MoveOn is herding the youth to the voting box. Leading the U.S. youth to believe that real change is possible under a corporatocracy.

And they excel at it. At leading the youth to a dead end.

@empathiser And that's why Guardian et al. saturate the media with elite-sanctioned "environmental leaders". Because they serve them well. They serve capital first & foremost.
