>In The Whites Are Enemies of Heaven Mark W. Driscoll examines nineteenth-century Western imperialism in Asia and the devastating effects of "climate caucasianism"—the white West's pursuit of rapacious extraction at the expense of natural environments and people of color conflated with them. >Drawing on an array of primary sources in Chinese, Japanese, and French, Driscoll reframes the Opium Wars as "wars for drugs" and demonstrates that these wars to unleash narco- and human traffickers kickstarted the most important event of the Anthropocene: the military substitution of Qing China's world-leading carbon-neutral economy for an unsustainable Anglo-American capitalism powered by coal. Driscoll also reveals how subaltern actors, including outlaw societies and dispossessed samurai groups, became ecological protectors, defending their locales while driving decolonization in Japan and overthrowing a millennia of dynastic rule in China. Driscoll contends that the methods of these protectors resonate with contemporary Indigenous-led movements for environmental justice.
>>18448722>rapacious extraction at the expense of natural environments and people of color conflated with themSure, because asians have NEVER done that before.
>>18448722>Qing China's world-leading carbon-neutral economy for an unsustainable Anglo-American capitalism powered by coal.So are pretending the Qing never used fire wood or had livestock? Because fire wood and lifestock aren't carbon neutral. Yes, whites were burning coal but that's just the price for industrialization. Show me a state that industrialized without using fossil fuels.
So comusist china is also the enemy of heaven?They use factories that throw contamination back to the air.
>>18448722>melt all farming tools for an abstract number on a paper creating worthless pig iron in the process>kill billions of birbsTotally rational environment friendly chinkom behaviour.
>>18448722Ngl that sounds kind of interesting. Even if I am not a big fan of rhe moralizing undertones of the review, the book itself could be very informative.
>>18448722he is a dispensationalist, so he worships jews and is spreading the jew view that all whites must be destroyed so that jews can rule heaven
Good thing scholar books are expensive and gatekept from the goy cattle lol
>>18448775>Confusing Mark. W. Driscoll for Mark A. DriscollAlso he's an eco-marxist, I wonder if he cites Dussel. It sounds right up his alley.
>>18448782It's already on Anna's Archive LMAO. And yes I know the goyim don't do piracy.
>>18448722American academia is kinda like Nazi Germany but the Ur-Boogieman are da ytes instead of da joos
>NOOOO HOW DARE WYPIPO BEGIN THE TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WATCH 1/3 OF OUR KIDS DIE FROM INFECTIOUS DISEASE AND MALNUTRITION>DIDN'T THEY KNOW QING CHINA WANTED TO BE CARBON NEUTRALthis is why I don't take people who flash their credentials seriously, it means they come with a set of severe biases they aren't willing to risk their career by challenging, academia is meaningless nowadays unless it is STEM
>>18448879>SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WATCH 1/3 OF OUR KIDS DIE FROM INFECTIOUS DISEASE AND MALNUTRITIONBut that's exactly what was happening from the Industrial Revolution and how nightmarish conditions in cities to fuel it had gotten.
>>18448884where did you learn that, do you have a link to a website or a thread on r*ddit you got it from so I can seewhere is your actual proof that standards of living objectively declined
Why do chinks yap so much? There's like a bajillion of them why can't they just do anything of value?
Reminds me of "A Concise History of Japan" which begins with winging about climate changeAlso picrel is first waifu
>>18449049Driscoll's white, though.
>>18449049>why can't they just do anything of valueChina is more powerful than the entire western world
>Qing China's world-leading carbon-neutral economyCreative way of saying they weren't industrialized. Fairly certain the climate was not their concern.
>>18448735>>18448737>bringing up shit that a different government did a century laterGet off the history board. If you don't know anything about China except "MUH MAO KILLED 100 MILLION" then don't speak.
>>18448775You can literally see it's not him, retard
>>18448722>nineteenth-century Western imperialism in Asia>westernusing western ironically there. laughable
>>18448737That took place AFTER the events OP mentioned though? I'm a historylet so go easy on me
>>18448782Yeah thats why piracy sites exist, shlomo.

>>18448782I'm already downloading the PDF (for free ee aa)
>>18448722Leftoids are subhuman.
>>18448722>Driscoll also reveals how subaltern actors, including outlaw societies and dispossessed samurai groups, became ecological protectors, defending their locales while driving decolonization in JapanFucker watched too much Princess Mononoke
>NOOOOO YOU CAN'T CRITICISE WHITE PEOPLE!!!!
>>18448722>climate caucasianism
>>18448884You know you think you are smart but you're just repeating points brought up in debates somewhere in British Parliament around 1820 based on hearsay from the 1790's. Among other gems from these sessions are people complaining that factory workers can afford tea on the daily which will surely lead to mass alcoholism and that peasants who move to work in the factories spoil their daughters by buying them nicer dresses.
>>18449538Seethe shlomo, Jamal, whatever
>>18448722>and French, Driscoll reframes the Opium Wars as "wars for drugs"Somebody reminds me, what is the "standard US academic" framing of the Opium Wars again?
>>18448722>innovative civilizational progress bad>stagnant civilizational sclerosis goodWhat do these people get out of writing such things?
>>18448722> when its something bad youre white> when its something good there is no race
>>18449881The framing tends to not be "wars for drugs" as much as "short decisive military conflicts embedded within a longer process in which an industrializing imperial power used force to resolve structural conflicts over trade, sovereignty, and legal authority—with drugs acting as both a catalyst and an instrument"
>>18449911Sounds more like: "We aren't military historians." than: "We don't think that Albion Drug Lords invaded Qing China in order to remove restrictions on drug sales."
>>18449418Wumao shill spotted. Go eat some traditional Chinese cuisine like bat soup mixed with tiger bone powder to make your dick extra hard.
>>18449418China is robbing your precious third world of all the resources they can get their hands on as we speak.
