You don't get transformative change by operating according to the incentives of the dominant system.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that most people don’t want the truth—especially not the kind that tears at the myth of progress, the lie of civilization. Because to truly see—to really let it in—would mean everything they depend on is soaked in blood and ash.

“Your neighbors can lend you an extension cord or hand you a beer. Online communities can send thoughts and prayers. The exchange rate of thoughts-and-prayers to tangibles is usually unfavorable.”

One thing I enjoyed from the book Total Resistance, is that Hans von Dach laid it out clearly: every person has a role in the fight for freedom. Elders carry wisdom and memory. Women organize, coordinate, and run the nerve centers.

Finally…. American is back!… back to not even pretending to have any concern for the environment.
One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.

The collapse of global industrial civilization is happening much faster than expected. It hurts terribly to watch these evil people do their evil things.
But I keep returning to the truth that the faster modern civilization is gone, the better off everything else will be.
