The final piece from END:CIV is both a reality check and a call to arms. Can we really expect the power structures to change their destructive ways by asking nicely? Do we have unlimited time to stop the destruction of the planet? The answer to both questions is no. If we are serious about defending the biosphere and abolishing the institutions responsible for the hyper exploitation of the land, we have to become a resistance movement and go beyond “feel good” symbolic actions.

Dharma: I had planned to throw a concise definition on here about the word, but really, I don’t think it can be defined very easily. It has something to do with leading a flourishing life that is of virtue, the conscience and being just (and thanks to post-modernism all of these words are open to definition). As the royal patron Bhishma says in the Mahabharata, dharma is subtle. However, you’d know it if you ever saw it. It’s rather unmistakable.
Where you won’t find dharma: in the pseudo-intellectual, nationalistic, self-congratulating middle class of India (and anywhere else this exists). Continue reading ‘The Dharma of Radicals’

Some of the most celebrated social justice victories of the 20th century are attributed to the great pacifists of our time, Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King. This constitutes a historical whitewash, as these “victories” were achieved when the state weighed its options and chose the lesser of two evils: the pacifists. In this segment Derrick Jensen, Lierre Keith, Aric Mcbay, Harjap Grewal, Gord Hill and Peter Gelderloos deconstruct the Gandhi myth and show us why militant action plays an important role in movements of resistance.

I’ve had a short two weeks in the Gulf of Oman, shuttling between a couple of cities, including of course the old hang-out area known as Dubai.
After getting lost a bunch of times in the new suburban neighbourhood my parents moved to, I took a look around and saw/heard the same crap as last time. Recession, increasing crime rates, mega-corporate partnerships, and so on.
Having recovered from the shock of being served by an European at a restaurant (recession all over the place), I decided to write a few short stories summing up some of my favourite conversations and experiences here. These are all unfortunately true for the most part.

subMedia.tv has obtained a highly stylized DVD by that appears to have been produced by the Israeli Defense Forces and leaked to us via youtube user @gangreentv. The video has plenty high tech computer graphics to explain the IDF’s position regarding the events surrounding the raid on the Mavi Marmara.

As environmentalism becomes mainstream, corporations and well funded environmental organizations work hand in hand to divert the public’s efforts into market driven solutions.
With runaway climate change looming in the horizon, we must ask ourselves what are the tactics we are going to use to stop the destruction and take us beyond symbolic gestures.
