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.

In 1990, a US Naval War College report found that “nearly all areas of operational effectiveness are threatened” by climate change. That was 35 years, around 70 parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere, and six presidential administrations ago. On Wednesday, a statement from the Department of Defense attributed to acting deputy Defense Secretary Robert Salesses said climate change is “woke.”

“Through our budgets, the Department of Defense will once again resource warfighting and cease unnecessary spending that set our military back under the previous administration, including through so-called ‘climate change’ and other woke programs, [emphasis mine] as well as excessive bureaucracy,” the statement read, apparently upending three-plus decades of military policy. The most embarrassing coup in world history continues apace.
