--This is not an Earth Strike endorsed message--
I largely endorse the sentiments here: https://twitter.com/EarthStrikeInt/status/1120196934516363264
I am sorely disappointed by the inaction and incompetence of #EarthStrike , and can no longer afford to compromise with milquetoast movements.
I am painfully aware of the horrendous flaws in tactics & mentality of #FFF #XR.
ENOUGH of this liberal reformism.
ENOUGH of this milquetoast "rebellion."
We're all going to die, literally, from heat stroke. Start acting like it.
Earth Strike is dead. XR is dead. But our solidarity isn't.
Fight like hell. But don't make my mistake, don't tolerate liberal movements, and DO NOT tolerate organizational hierarchy and bureaucracy.
Act locally. Join some friends. Help a collective like the #ELF. If there isn't one, start one. If you don't want to start one, fight anyway. If you don't know how to, read. Recipes for Disaster is a good start. It's far from perfect.
(Continued)
Fight with your friends and peers. Or alone. But fight. Fight with those who respect you, and with those you can trust.
When you do, you'll learn. And you'll fail. Let yourself fail. Maybe in the end, everything you do fails. And then you die, but at least you tried. And that is beautiful.
Resistance is beautiful, in and of itself. Resistance lives on, in all of our hearts, and all of our actions.
I leave you with some reading that has inspired and taught me along the way.
