The term "radical" has been so thoroughly diluted that it now serves more as a rhetorical cudgel than an accurate descriptor. The Climate Justice Alliance (CJA) is not radical; it’s a cog in the empire’s greenwashing machine. They operate within the confines of the system, reliant on state dollars and philanthropic scraps to maintain their operations. Losing $50 million in grants isn’t oppression—it’s a recalibration of dependency.

True radicalism doesn’t beg for permission or funding from the very structures it seeks to dismantle. If anything, this situation underscores how tightly controlled dissent is when tethered to state-approved narratives. The moment you rely on the empire’s purse strings, you’re playing by its rules. Let’s stop pretending otherwise.
