Leth commented on The Solutions are Already Here by Peter Gelderloos
Really electric second chapter about how co-opted the standard narratives for how to prevent climate disaster are. Reinforced stuff we'd been learning about, like the charmed circle. The fact that people believe that some behaviors are in and some behaviors are out in the context of resisting the literal end of life on earth at the hands of people profiting from our annihilation reifies that line and causes us to fight over our inclusion in it rather than fighting the people who want to annihilate us. We need a diversity of tactics. We need to recognize that the people who want us to suck it up and die are sophisticated in their cruelty but ultimately fallible because they believe in social structures that are inherently unstable. People were not put on this Earth to die in service to bosses. Animals were put on this Earth to live.
