The Entrapment Episode
Manage episode 355202563 series 3418464
On #wolf hunt #sabotage, eco-activism, state-sponsored terrorism (#NordStream) and federal entrapment. Gaia will bring the Collapse in due time!
So just to recap quickly the story of the Extinctionati and its relation to eco-activism. The context for what we’ll be talking about with my friend Svein.
It all started with Lord Hugh reaching out to Extinction Rebellion UK and suggesting they think bigger and jam the system at a higher level — Like mounting a Financial Strike of some form. Why block the road and annoy normal people when you could use precision higher up, right?
Then we invited Derrick Jensen and Lierre from Deep Green Resistance, and found common ground in saving the salmon, the river or the forest, locally, for as long as it takes till this industrial civilisation collapses.
But then there was also some talk about other forms of physical activities that would amount to Accelerationism, that’s making the system collapse faster.
So after Hugh died a year ago today from a blood clot, the world changed again in many ways: For instance, the pipeline in the Baltic Sea was sabotaged, allegedly by the USA and Norway. And the USA allegedly also produced the virus and the pandemic, causing a much bigger stress to the world economy than an activist debt strike could have.
And point by point has basically been proven, that Normies going about their Normie lives, being Normies. Going to war etc. Is bringing the Collapse closer much faster than anything activists could have ever instigated or accomplished.
So all of this is to say that, Civilisation doesn’t need help from activists to collapse itself. Therefore we should largely relax and enjoy our lives and not risk ending it in a prison cell.
However, there is one important exception to this rule, and that is for the local, Derrick Jensen-style activism, to save a river just until society has collapsed already.
