Preventable deaths in a warming world: how politics shapes who lives and who dies | The Conversation


"Cameroonian historian Achille Mbembe introduced the idea of “necropolitics” to explain how some lives come to be treated as more expendable than others. This does not imply intent to kill, but rather the routine political acceptance that some people will be exposed to harm.

[...]

deaths were shaped not only by heat, but by structural inequalities and gaps in policy and infrastructure.

This logic is visible globally. In south Asia and the Middle East, heatwaves claim the lives of elderly people and outdoor workers. In sub-Saharan Africa, floods and droughts disproportionately affect subsistence farmers.

In the UK, air pollution is linked to roughly 30,000 deaths annually. People from ethnic minority and low-income communities are more likely to live in the most polluted areas. These deaths are not random. They follow recognisable social patterns.

Mbembe’s concept helps describe situations where political, economic or social arrangements leave some populations consistently exposed to harm. That includes climate-vulnerable communities, places where resources are being extracted through mining or areas where people are displaced from their homes."

Free speech and quality journalism are generally not a priority for tech bro billionaires, as criticism is simply inconvenient to them. The almighty dollar is all that matters.

Bezos (245 billion dollars) is a hypocrite, especially given that when he bought one of the world's most renowned newspapers a few years ago, he promised not to interfere with the general editorial decisions.

In other areas, he doesn't care about wasting money, as evidenced by his sponsorship of a Melania documentary that cost $40 million and looks more like a bribe for the Trump administration than anything else.

The once liberal Washington Post refused to endorse a Democratic candidate for the first time in 2024 due to direct pressure from the Trump family. This cost the Washington Post 250,000 subnoscriptions. It was a bad economic move. It shows that they don't care about their readership. This was probably intended by Bezos.
