Capitalocene names capitalism as a system of power, profit, and re/production in the web of life. It thinks capitalism as if human relations form through the geographies of life. Far from refusing the problem of political economy, however, it highlights capitalism as a history in which islands of commodity production and exchange operate within oceans of Cheap – or potentially Cheap – Natures. - J.

Australian police stopped a man because his car had 'anti-Semitic' material on the window. When the driver queried what the anti-Semitic material was, the dejected-looking officer replied 'the small watermelon'. The incident is emblematic of how solidarity with Palestine is policed in countries like Australia, the US and Europe, where the individuals tasked with enforcing the law often have very little knowledge about Gaza, Palestine or Israel.
