Historian David van Reybrouck says we are colonizing the world of tomorrow today. He believes that new forms of participatory democracy are needed to promote more decisive environmental actions without provoking protests.
“Replacing fossil fuels is more effective against colonialism than removing statues”, says the Belgian thinker. ‘The longer it is delayed the more drastic the measures will be in the future’, says Van Reybruck. ” Colonialism is also violence against nature.’
