While the World Burns, Capitalists Cash In

Wildfires rage, Gaza bleeds, and Walmart posts record profits. In this episode, we dig into the twisted logic of a system that thrives on collapse, from state violence in Palestine and brutal immigration policy to the unchecked greed driving up grocery prices while the world literally burns. We also talk about Indigenous mutual aid during Canada’s wildfire crisis, the deportation of a terminally ill child under Trump’s second term, and why the rhetoric of revolution so often hides authoritarian rot.Gazahttps://rachelgilmore.substack.com/p/israel-is-using-aid-as-a-military https://itsgoingdown.org/international-solidarity-movement-volunteers-speak-on-building-solidarity-in-the-west-bank/Rodney Hinton Jr.https://open.substack.com/pub/tdugout/p/when-black-rage-is-criminalized-rinaldo?r=iu0tj&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=falseTrump deporting 4 year old girlhttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/28/deportation-mexico-four-year-old-girlCanada’s Strong Border Billhttps://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/liberal-legislation-border-fentanyl-1.7550684Wildfireshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Canadian_wildfiresRental protectionshttps://ca.news.yahoo.com/why-canada-apply-labour-protections-122825442.htmlAuthoritarians in Africahttps://www.anarchistfederation.net/burkina-faso-revolution-authoritarianism-the-crisis-of-african-emancipation-politics/Anarchist Sabotage in Canneshttps://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/story/cannes-power-outage-anarchistsWalmart Priceshttps://people.com/walmart-announces-trump-s-tariffs-will-result-in-higher-prices-in-stores-this-month-11735832Mutual aid shoutoutsIndigenous Climate Action – supporting frontline resistance and sovereignty in the face of wildfire displacement. https://www.indigenousclimateaction.com/Health Workers Alliance for Palestine – providing direct support to medics and aid workers in Gaza. https://healthworkersforpalestine.org/South Texas Human Rights Center – aiding migrants affected by border militarization and brutal policy changes. https://southtexashumanrights.org/Hamilton Encampment Support Network – supporting unhoused people and resisting evictions in Ontario. https://www.hesn.ca/Toronto Prisoners’ Rights Project – supporting incarcerated and criminalized people through mutual aid and abolitionist organizing.https://www.patreon.com/torontoprisonersrights/aboutCheck out AnComSciComm on FOFANews and follow him on Blueskyhttps://youtu.be/2-oKULEugDs?si=WLAvxp0Cv9dyMHTZ https://bsky.app/profile/ancomscicomm.bsky.social Support the show at patreon.com/skepticalleftist And follow me in all the places https://linktr.ee/Skepticalleftist
