Petrocracy is emerging as the unifying framework for Trump II foreign policy

Fun fact: Canada decided to be a petrocracy in the 1980s and Free Trade solidified the decision. My new book series Canada in Decline explains how.

*Is Trump their "most recent" despot purchase? There must be other newer ones. And future ones, waiting in the wings. #bloodforoil #petrocracy

I have no interest in normalizing the AB “separatists” movement. It’s a hodgepodge of Christian Nationalists searching for a caliphate, ethnocentric white nationalists & conspiracy loons all cosplaying as libertarians, all of them corrupted by an American petrocracy. Treat them as traitors. Period.

The violent death throes of petrocracy?

Israeli fighter jet in pink livery for International Women's Day. Take a knee to protest racism before playing football in an oppressive Middle-Eastern petrocracy whose luxury is maintained by a vast, disenfranchised underclass. Pride flag on the Orphan Crushing Machine.

I hope the 🇺🇸 notices.

The 🇪🇺 is doing some amazing fucking shit with clean energy and this country could stand to learn a few lessons from 🇪🇺.

Are you hoping pointing this out will impress them and show we're not all like Trump and the pollutant petrocracy?

A nice review in Swedish: ‘What if you want to read something more drastic?Then you shouldn't miss "Russia Against Modernity." Etkind sees Russia as a vulgar petrocracy. The fight against climate destruction is a mortal threat to Putin's regime. It wants to turn back the clock.’

It seems like we've spent a lot of time on Trump's ties to Epstein, Russia, Israel, and so on, and not nearly enough on Project 2025's ties to the petrocracy.

Bridgerton is a historical AU where the elimination of colonial racism—but endurance of Regency sexism—has accelerated the rise of petroleum-based fabrics at a pre-apocalyptic rate.

England had become a petrocracy for polyester. Season 5 will cover a centuries long Butlerian Jihad against sequins.

We are currengly owned by the Petrocracy: Remember, Putin is possibly the richest petroleum plutocrat in the world. Remember, R's are owned by fossil fuel interests.

We've been a petrocracy for so long - and yet Conservatives are constantly complaining that the Liberals aren't supportive of oil&gas. Under Libs the O&G industry has prospered and grown, and yet it's never enough.

It's too much, actually, but no one can get that through their heads.

It’s a global petrocracy, and we need a revolution against it to save the world. 🗺️ 🌱 🔌💡

Big Oil. (Nice contrast, really.)

About 70% of America is concerned about climate change, and any given oil company is about as popular as ebola. I figure we should hammer away at the petrocracy whenever possible.
