Description
-
This talk situates Earth Day within its political context, arguing that contemporary environmentalism must reckon with one of the most devastating sites of planetary crisis: the unfolding genocide–ecocide nexus in Gaza. It examines how this destruction is entangled with the power of the U.S. military–AI complex, suggesting that the devastation of Gaza signals broader logics of planetary harm—where the conditions that make such destruction possible also threaten the future of the world itself.
