Excellent essay that frames our present ecological dilemma in the fantastic nature of alien capitalist rule. This was metaphorically captured in a science fiction film which views the dramatic alteration of the biosphere through the lens of imagination.
Engineering the earth’s climate is nothing new. Capitalists, in coalition with alien overlords from Andromeda, have been at it for years.
That is the backstory to John Carpenter’s 1988 sci-fi classic, They Live. An alien race colonises Earth. Disguised as humans they run the world, helped by accomplices among the native business community.
They manipulate the human drones through consumerism and subliminal injunctions: ‘Obey,’ ‘Marry and breed,’ and ‘Work!’ The dutiful masses produce, reproduce and consume, all for the benefit of the Andromedan/capitalist masters.(I hope you are wearing the "special sunglasses".)
