"The stereotype of a leftist person as an over-intellectual, upper middle class, white person with an oat cappuccino doesn’t come from nowhere. Often our communications achieve little more than virtue signalling to our allies."

"I cannot picture a ‘post-neoliberal society rooted in fairness.’ But tell me that I could wake up each day and hear birds outside my window again, and that I can cycle safely to work on clearly-marked bike lanes. Tell me about a world where the rise of job-shares and redistributed wealth means that I only have to work 20 hours a week and finally have the time to make doctor’s appointments, check up on my friends and neighbours, read books and get involved in local issues. Tell me that I won’t worry about who made my clothes or prepared my food".

‘It is not a Sunday in the countryside that we need, but a less artificial life.’
—Bernard Charbonneau, in « Le sentiment de la nature, une force révolutionnaire », 1937

It is our disconnection from nature that gives rise to the feeling that we lack something, that an essential part of our existence is missing.
