reading this article about how climate change denialism is a way to express a hypermasculine anxiety to protect the continued western usage of fossil fuels, a “petro-masculinity” tied to the violent act of burning oil and gas as an expression of USAmerican sovereignty

#authoritarian personality name drop also hell yeah #actually this psychology section is probably gonna be cringe. this author does not define authoritarian which is very annoying #limited postcolonial analysis also. still pretty interesting #i think you can extend this to like death drive desires if you wanted to be very psychological about it #like the car is contingent upon a fuel that will cook us all to death. and westerners dont want to give that up. much to consider! #still reading so hopefully im not just repeating whats in the article #book club
