Read Derrick Jensen's 'Endgame-Vol II Resistance'
No, no, no. You've got it all wrong.
Derrick Jensen makes the case in 'Endgame' that corporate gov'ts/polluters/whatever are abusers, the same as rapists, etc., and that the only way that an abuser ever stops is if he's forced to. S/he will stop only when there is absolutely no other choice.
Those kids in black - God bless and keep them safe.
And damn you for damning them.
All the grunt work of any movement is done by those with the energy and the uneroded ideals: generally, the young. I support them and may even join them at some point. And I'm approaching 50.
Before the Iraq war, I went several times to Washington to protest. I learned then that peaceful protest in this day and age (was it ever different? - probably not) is useless. Tens of thousands of people attended, and America and the world never knew about it. It went unremarked by the corporate media. And nothing was stopped, changed or affected in any way. NOTHING!
Never, ever let what they (the corporate they) say about you, or call you, affect your actions. Do the right thing always. And the right thing is to STOP THEM ... by any means necessary.
Until you join those kids in black nothing will change. They are the future of protests, those brave few who actually do something.
Don't make them fight you (defend themselves against you) in order to fight the corportate devils.
Read 'Endgame'. It will change you. It did me.On Reflections from the scene of this weekend's G8 protests posted 2 years, 5 months ago 5 Responses
