I would love to be able to say “I don’t know how we got to this point”, but, as someone who was formerly involved in the environmental/climate activism movement, I honestly… Am not surprised that we have (reached this point).

It’s been heading this way for some time…

Let me fill you in on a little secret: this movement doesn’t target places that will actually fight back (like company headquarters, say). They will never actually target the powerful, or those doing “the polluting”, or the companies themselves, or governments. Not directly, anyway (though cyber activism and rallies in the street, say, are a different matter). You know why? Because those guys wont tolerate this sort of activity. They have actual security guards. They will fuck you up.

That’s why we get stuff like this, and it’s a big part of why I quit.

The org I was part of? Completely targeted the wrong people, and the wrong groups (intentionally), and when I pointed out their bald-faced hypocrisy, they admitted that they “didn’t want to bite the hand that feeds them” (in this case, the University), and essentially… Then kicked me out of the group.

All of those people are professional (paid!!) activists, now. All of them. And they are about as “sincere” as fucking Kraft cheese slices…
