From Climate Crisis to Climate Culling
Dis-Ecologies of Snuff Capital

Stumbling across this one, and finding certain words jumping out at me, seemingly (heh) inviting me (!) to comment. Yes, that does sound a bit Surreal doesn't it? Tee-hee.

The Militarist Snuff Drive

"The return to bare faced imperialism and military expansionism— from the US-Israel war on Iran to the invasion of Venezuela and US bombings of Ecuador—shows clearly the jettisoning of even the façade of concern for the environment or climate, much less planetary survival. It also shows that the new era of capitalist culling will be undertaken with the most gusto and relish by capital’s states."

Merely a REFLECTION of all the horrible REFLECTIONS coming from CENTURIES OF WAR (in which these elites most notably seem to be REACTING TO). And all the "hard-nosed" nutjobs, often drunk, scared us young kids into silences (i didn't get that, personally, tho).

Now,
If we "look behind" that 'framing', so to speak, we can see fellow human beings who may well have been TRICKED INTO or otherwise COERCED INTO 'going with' the Path that they have. I don't know this, nor am i 'paid' to speak it. i truly am doing this solo, folks.

i'm not trying to defend their actions, btw. Nor do i agree in any way with their obviously SEVERELY SEVERELY SEVERELY ALIENATED policies and such horror. i simply wish to try to BE A PART OF solving the problem.

Knowing that i am far from alone in this.

What do we truly want in this world?
We want to see "life beyond Thunderdome!" We, including the liberation feminists i've read of (and sometimes have met), wish for AN END TO WAR. Finally, after so MANY thousands of years. i "walk with" them on that one. And i've directly experimented with creative intelligence that HAS proven workable and meaningful (if not "perfect").

That is the bottom line of their push against you who do not seem to know how to escape some kind of trap others fooled or scared you into.

i don't know the position of the writer, but
The Left's ideological pattern (only a seemingly smidgeon better than the Rightwing) of Hyping Up Against RATHER THAN demystifying things is instructive to THE PERPETUATION, for some reason(s), of this dichotomy. This "Us v. Them" situation.

So I just wish, like many writers (erstwhile tho i may be), seek: "To see the thing whole, THAT'S why we write," as Gore Vidal said on a TAPE i used to have.


Okay, SOME are Called to fight, not phight. I 'Get it'. I can respect you. You are the "Bad Rebel" and i am the proverbial "Good rebeL" in our "good-cop/bad-cop"-resembling intuitive approaches! ! ! !

(See i'm learning as i go, too!)

No, but I really need to get offline. Enough! Later perhaps I'll start this up again! (So MANY interesting ideas out there, SO LITTLE TIME!)
