Greenwashing The US military, Julian Assange, RIP Kevin Zeese

There Is No Such Thing As A Green War

July 7, 2019 Eleanor Goldfield, ROAR Magazine. Strategize! climate crisis, greenwashing, Intersectionality, Wars and Militarism

It is not enough to academically trace a red thread between issues. Recognizing the connections that tie climate chaos to war to imperialism to the growing refugee crisis demand solutions founded on that real-world intersectionality. We need an active solidarity that erases the demarcations of single-issue movements and builds a power that reflects the reality of our place and time. Likewise, we must be wary of soft reforms, greenwashing and capitalism’s unending affinity for shaming people. Soft reforms are often linked with greenwashing in a sort of shot and chaser combo, made to placate the mind and ultimately uphold the status quo.
