Somebody had fun writing this word salad.

Petro-masculinity: Fossil Fuels and Authoritarian Desire

As the planet warms, new authoritarian movements in the West are embracing a toxic combination of climate denial, racism and misogyny. Rather than consider these resentments separately, this article interrogates their relationship through the concept of petro-masculinity, which appreciates the historic role of fossil fuel systems in buttressing white patriarchal rule. Petro-masculinity is helpful to understanding how the anxieties aroused by the Anthropocene can augment desires for authoritarianism. The concept of petro-masculinity suggests that fossil fuels mean more than profit; fossil fuels also contribute to making identities, which poses risks for post-carbon energy politics. Moreover, through a psycho-political reading of authoritarianism, I show how fossil fuel use can function as a violent compensatory practice in reaction to gender and climate trouble.

The possibility also exists that this was auto-generated by a computer using Social Justice buzzwords. But I would not be surprised either way… maybe this is someones idea of a joke or a hoax, and maybe it’s some crazed anti-science SJWs’s idea of what science is. In any event, it’s yet another example of “don’t take ‘published in a journal’ as meaning anything useful anymore.”
