Ahead of Another Summer of Climate Disasters, Let’s Talk about Real Solutions
"#Capitalism has no future on this planet. We will need a far-reaching revolution to address this crisis."
#CrimeThinc, May 8, 2024
"The mainstream climate movement begins from a premise that guarantees failure. Not just failure. Catastrophe. And the more effective it is, the more harm it will cause.
Let’s explore why.
"When people think of environmentalism these days, they are likely to picture civil disobedience in the streets, media activism, enthusiastic lobbying, and conferences aiming to set global goals for carbon emissions—all under the leadership of non-governmental organizations, academics, and progressive politicians. Ecological struggle, however, has always also included anti-capitalist and anti-colonial currents, and these currents have been getting stronger, more dynamic, and better connected over the past couple decades.
T"hat growth, however, has not been without setbacks, often caused by intense targeted repression that leaves movements exhausted and traumatized, like the #GreenScare that began in 2005 and the repression of #StandingRock and other #Indigenous-led #AntiPipeline movements a decade later.
"Systematically, at precisely the moments when radical currents are licking their wounds, the predominantly white, middle-class vision of environmentalism takes the stage and pushes the entire conversation in reformist directions.
"The actual crisis we are facing is a complex ecological crisis, in which police killings, repressive laws, ongoing histories of #colonialism and #WhiteSupremacy, #HabitatLoss,#LandGrabs, food cultures, human health, #urbanism, borders, and wars are all entangled. The leadership of the environmental movement has made the strategic decision to reduce all of this to a question of climate—the climate crisis—and to recenter the state as the protagonist, as our potential savior. This means centering the #ParisAgreement and the #COP summits as the solution to the problem, and using performative #activism and #CivilDisobedience to demand policy shifts and investment in support of green energy."

After having a wonderful conversation with my next door neighbor, I just wanted to remind folks that I am a lifelong #DemocraticSocialist and #GreenParty member. I plan on voting for a #Democrat to keep #Trump from implementing #Project2025. But I am fully aware of Harris's flaws, and that she will probably not appoint anyone I like as her Veep [actually, she did appoint someone I liked -- Tim Walz]. But I will still vote for her. And I hope she wins. And I will give her administration a hard time and will push for REAL CHANGE. But I DO NOT appreciate any #VoteBlue folks trying to bully people into voting for their candidate -- never have, and never will. Don't get me started on #DNC shenanigans when #BernieSanders was running. Anyhow, if you feel the need to #RedScare or #GreenScare or whatever the blue folks want to call it, just lay off. Seriously... Everyone knows what's at stake -- and it's not just the 2024 election!

Green Scared?
Some Lessons from the #FBI Crackdown on #EcoActivists
2023, via @CrimethInc"For years, the FBI targeted ecological #activists as their #1 priority. This is one of the chief reasons environmental devastation has continued unchecked.
"At the end of 2005, the FBI opened a new phase of its assault on earth and animal liberation movements—known as the #GreenScare—with the arrests and indictments of a large number of activists. This offensive, which they dubbed Operation Backfire, was intended to obtain convictions for many of the unsolved #EarthLiberationFront arsons of the preceding ten years—but more so, to have a chilling effect on all ecological #DirectAction.
"In this analysis, originally published in Rolling Thunder in 2008, we review everything we can learn from the Operation Backfire cases, with the intention of passing on the lessons for the next generation of #environmental activists.

The son of Syrian refugees, Dibee spent almost 13 years on the run after the FBI visited his home in 2005 and insinuated that if he didn't cooperate with their investigation, he could end up dead. The government later labeled Dibee and his #GreenScare co-defendants domestic terrorists. One of their fires had shut down an Oregon slaughterhouse that was illegally killing wild horses—the facility had been the target of unsuccessful protests for a decade, with neighbors complaining about the stench, the constant screams of horses, and blood overflowing the local sewage system.
