Penny's theory is: poor will suffer the consequences of climate change. Umm. It's people of color. You really did class over race... again.

Or this idea that "our parents" were oddly calm about the threat of apocalypse. WHOSE parents? Not parents of color, I'll tell you that.

It's offensive to shell this kind of analysis out in 2017. In fact, it's dangerous—it obscures who's being harmed. "savage confiscation" wtf

If @thebafflermag actually had poc on staff, they'd probably flag the fact that Laurie Penny is about to publish something really offensive.
