It looks like Bitchute constitutes a media infrastructure that encourages, incentivises and sustains microcelebrities of the Far/Alt Right, who act as ideology entrepreneurs.

I have the impression that the term anthroposcene used in this article could easily be replaced by another: capitaloscene. To my understanding, they are not interchangeable, but I think the latter would be more appropriate in this context.

For me, it feels like the anthroposcene is shifting the blame from a system that is devastating to all lives on this planet (capitalism), to humans in general. I don’t find this to be accurate, it’s like it implies ‘yeah it’s human nature to be like that’, and it’s hard to imagine change from this starting point.

On the other hand, with capitaloscene, things are clear. The system sucks, we replace it with a sustainable one, and all will be fine. Not saying that it’s an easy path, just a straightforward one.

This is about a new paper that came out yesterday, co-authored by approx 15 people. Give it a chance! See:
