  • Agreed. We need to take it up a notch. If you’re getting a permit for your protest, it’s not really a protest. It’s a parade with signs.

    Protests should be against the law, even peaceful ones. Things like peacefully sitting in places deemed illegal, creating human chains around eco-destructive & heavily polluting machinery, and destroying harmful oil infrastructure.

    The elite will argue that destroying their property is violence, when it is really an act of self-defence. We are an intelligent animal species that comes from the Earth. It is part of us. The same way that your skin cells, and the tissues lining your lungs, make up who you are.

    We need to start defending ourselves against the cancer that is capitalism. This is a great staying guide: Eco-defense needs to be popularized.


  • If the US military were a country, its fuel usage alone would make it the 47th largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world, sitting between Peru and Portugal.

    Fuel usage alone… Not too mention the high electricity use for AC and other equipment.

    In 2017, the US military bought about 269,230 barrels of oil a day and emitted more than 25,000 kilotons of carbon dioxide by burning those fuels. The US Air Force purchased $4.9 billion worth of fuel, and the Navy $2.8 billion, followed by the Army at $947 million and the Marines at $36 million.

    It seems to be growing every year… What would it honestly take to get enough people to take action against the military industrial complex? Is there even a way?
