We are in the midst of a mass death.
Not solely of people—though genocide continues to stain our history and present—but of biocultural diversity itself. A sixth mass extinction of species is underway, this time driven by human activity. Thousands of languages are now the “talking dead.” Entire cultures have been erased or assimilated into a select few monocultures. And while all of this is happening, we face a political backlash against “DEI”, or diversity, equity, and inclusion. Everything from demographic shifts through immigration to representation in the media has faced increasing ire. And as a consequence, reactionary attitudes have seemingly gained prominence.

An interesting entry in the game I play of trying to guess what the article is about based solely on the thumbnail image, when there's one that's interesting enough to enlarge and look at. Anarchism as a potential answer to the systematic destruction of cultural diversity as more and more people get their brains sucked out by the all-consuming machinery of capitalism was not among my top guesses but it's something to think about.
