  • Yeah I mean I didn’t learn a ton that I didn’t know already from Hickels, nor did I really expect to - if you’re already keyed in to this movement then there’s not much there to learn. I think of a text like that more as an exercise in honing your own rhetoric, by hearing how a professional will deliver these arguments simply and efficiently.

    The one thing in the text I didn’t expect was just how much he drew from Silvia Fererici (who I love), and dedicated one of the introductory chapters just to an ideology of extractivism and how that’s not a fact of humanity but a framework necessary for capitalism - a much more bold tack than I expected him to take.
