In this episode of Sticks & Stones, Jason talks about the interconnectedness of environmental history, capitalism, and social theory in our current social dynamic. He highlights the urgency of the planetary crisis, including climate change, biodiversity loss, and inequality. We discuss the impact of ideologies on various global issues, such as gender, race, religion, and culture. Moore explains that capitalist ideologies instrumentalize the world and perpetuate a binary mode of thought. The conversation touches on the role of technology, capitalism, and power in shaping the current state of the world. We discuss the relationship between capitalism, climate crisis, and imperialism. Moore argues that the origins of the climate crisis can be traced back to the crisis of feudalism during the Little Ice Age, which led to the invasion and conquest of the Americas. He emphasizes the militarized and coercive nature of capitalist rule and the need for climate justice movements to challenge the capitalist mode of thought.
