*sobs as e tries to figure out the least bad way to phrase the note defining "people who are indigenous to turtle island"*

I think I'll use "Oyáte Khéya Wíta" because I'd like to use Lakhota when I can, the problem is I just don't know it that well.

(But I'd love to like eventually have English words like "act" map onto their Lakhota nearish equivalent - even if the defining sentences are in English since I'm.)

(For the curious, my entire plan for the day is to incorporate this essay into my notes:

https://emsenn.net/letters/to-the-web/of-ducks-and-illusions/

Which'll require making... a /lot/ of records.

I'm not done adding in the first quote and it's 30 new terms already. :D

just sitting here trying to figure out how I want to refer to, collectively, the crises du jour, e.g. the 6th mass extinction and the contemporary climate disruption and their many consequence-crises.

Crises of Kyriarchism?

Crises of Ontology?

Environmentally Forced Social Contraction Period?

The current pandemic, and those that preceded it (SARS, Ebola, etc), and the pandemics to come, are also caused by and directly connected to that set of capitalism-caused environmental crises.

@bhaugen "extractive zoonoses" is the jargon for this, I believe, if you're curious.

@bhaugen my problem isn't one of identification, but perspective. "Crises of Borders" makes as much sense to me as "Crises of Capitalism" as much as "Crises of Measurement"

@bhaugen I can't really /name/ the thing without bringing to the table big claims about what it is, and those are hard to defend in the term itself.

@bhaugen might just call it "contemporary crises" and move on for now ^_^

Been reading this book https://www.versobooks.com/books/3704-corona-climate-chronic-emergency

Got a lot of names for it, including that one, but even more in the big collection of references in the back. I haven't settled on my fave yet.

Verso

Verso Books is the largest independent, radical publishing house in the English-speaking world.

@bhaugen isn't that book ecofascist propaganda?

No. Not at all.

@bhaugen Are you sure?

> In Corona, Climate, Chronic Emergency, leading environmental thinker, Andreas Malm demands that this war-footing state should be applied on a permanent basis to the ongoing climate front line.

@emsenn
What made you think so?
Or do we have different definitions of eco-fascism?
For me, it's the ideas that the number of people is the problem, thus the propagandized "cure" of getting rid of most of the people except for the wealthy.
Show threademsenn says end food apartheidJan 27, 2021

@bhaugen that's elitism, which is one potential framework for eco-fascism, which I use to mean "kyriarchism that's aware of environmental disruption and its consequences"

Using the state as a war machine to solve climate collapse is... silly.

That's a good one, though.

"but emsenn how can adding this to your notes really take all day"

cause i'm currently here writing a note for what "combustion" is, which itself is begging the definition of other terms, and this whole note-taking thing can kinda be seen as taking "[citations needed]" up to near its potential maximum.
