Those who are long time followers of Peak Oil know exactly the disorienting feeling of observing the masses continuing their wasteful and unhappy lives, oblivious to their own profligacy and willfully ignorant of the most basic questions of resource and habitat depletion, overpopulation, and the defacing of the planet and its other beings. After waiting for four years or more to see, well, not much, Chaos has become just a trifle cynical. Or realistic.

One has to live in the context of the life you are born to, i.e., for some, and many people, doing very small things is a start, and in fact, may be the only actions they are capable of, in some or many situations. (Large cities come to mind here, or disgusting suburbia). <br /> <br />3. The problems humanity collectively faces cannot be solved or overcome by individual action. Hence, they most likely will not be solved or overcome. <br /><br />4. Derrick Jensen is not a writer one can read a synopsis of and "get." Read the books and understand the context.

In fact, I'd say that, in practice, it's almost as bad as the "I'm gonna get a high paying job with a big corporation so I can change the corporation from within" argument.<br /><br />One reason radical environmental movements have been so ineffective, in my humble opinion, is that their attempts to get the word out about how bad things are are generally so apocalyptic and terrifying that they turn people away, cause them to turn to God to save them (you know how many Americans aren't concerned about the environment because they think the Rapture's gonna happen before things get really bad? I'd guess it's most of the 45% of Americans who give Sarah Palin positive approval ratings), or get nihilistic about it ("we've already fucked things up so badly, what's the point?"--the dominant viewpoint concerning the environment heard in bars late at night). <br /><br />So...what's telling average Americans that the only way to save the environment is to do overthrow the system (thus drastically altering everyone's lifestyle from the top down) going to do? My guess is that, most of those who pay attention at all (who will be very few) will find some variation of "Rush Limbaugh's right: the green movement's really just communism in disguise" a lot more compelling.<br /><br />As such, suggesting that people recycle, use different kinds of light bulbs, and stop voting for Republicans might at least nudge them in the right direction of being willing to make larger changes (just as more than a century of incremental nudges made the Civil Rights Movement possible...such as deciding it was okay to have a black guy on one's favorite baseball team as long as he hit homers, or saying "that Marian Anderson sings pretty good for a negress..." before white Americans became receptive to sit-ins and marches and, eventually, to mandating equal rights...and, needless to say, we've still got quite a few nudges to go when it comes to that issue, as well...).YogaforCynicshttp://yogaforcynics.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17617568.post-47987548808382407372009-04-27T07:50:00.000-05:002009-04-27T07:50:00.000-05:00The nations paper of record "debates" the use of t...The nations paper of record "debates" the use of the word torture here: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/26/opinion/26pubed.html?ref=opinion<br /><br />(In a nutshell, they seem to be overly solicitous of delicate American sensibilitiess...unwittingly funny).Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14511045883879753073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17617568.post-12955019105549875742009-04-26T09:50:00.000-05:002009-04-26T09:50:00.000-05:00Tortured text.
