Peaceful 'rebellion' won't change anything. Industry brutalizes all life on this planet 24/7. They are driving every lifeform to extinction. They bulldoze the forests to manufacture deodorant and toothpaste. Asking them nicely to stop making the shit we consume is useless. We need to stop consuming it. We need to stop consumption, period. Put an end to all commerce. Developers, manufacturers, energy interests, banking, factory farms. It's not going anywhere until we stop feeding it, stop accepting it as normal and necessary. It's killing us, it's killing everything. Industry has to stop.

Yeah, tbh, I think the Non-Violent part is legal cover at best and naivety at worst. My country is literally talking about rolling out the army to bust unions, and is fracking in spite of tremors, rebellion needs more rebellion.

The big question is how do you stop feeding it, when it has engraved itself so deeply in our lives. We have to eat, and most people don't, and can't produce their own food. For every piece of food you thus eat, for every spraycan you buy, you are giving a part of it to the state, a part to the corporation producing the item, and only a -small part to the actual producers. How do you even destroy that?

Sometimes i actually think that those Islamic extremists are having it partly right. You need these kind of symbols. Attacks on the illusion of safety and routine that the machine provides. We need to blow up factories. We need to attack governmental buildings and infrastructure. Cops and politicians need to be shot. All this together with growing alternative horizontal structures while helping your brothers and sisters.

We've got a lot of work to do.
