Normalizing the Planet 1

History with a capital H is ‘Human’ history, a condition of grace that’s only available to a special being, and even for them, it’s only a few super special beings who enjoy all its privileges. For a while that being was the second in command of God, but like Sauron taking over from Morgoth, they are now number one. A being that dominates the Earth and its creatures, whether it chooses to exploit them or hold them in its care.

The story was always the human story.

Did I hear you say ‘not every human.’ True, but…. while we were going forth and multiplying, it was easy to let the planet disappear into the background or neglect it altogether. Those days are gone, aren’t they? The carbon revolution has made sure the planet won’t be sidelined. Trotsky wanted us to live in a permanent communist revolution, but the liberation of the proletariat is a footnote to the liberation of carbon, which is the liberation theology that, until recently, united socialists, communists, capitalists, fascists and every other ‘ist. Industrial society is a revolutionary regime headed by the Carbon Liberation Front, aka the People’s Republic of Exxon, Aramco and Gazprom. The final and most complete human was baked in that revolution by the fires it unleashed.
