Endgame Premises Archives: 14: We are enculturated to hate life

From birth on—and probably from conception, but I’m not sure how I’d make the case—we are individually and collectively enculturated to hate life, hate the natural world, hate the wild, hate wild animals, hate women, hate children, hate our bodies, hate and fear our emotions, hate ourselves. If we did not hate the world, we could not allow it to be destroyed before our eyes. If we did not hate ourselves, we could not allow our homes—and our
bodies—to be poisoned.

Get to Know the Land You’re Destroying (or Saving)

Deep Green Resistance Colorado 1 Comment
It’s easy to disparage or destroy people, animals, plants or things when we know little about them. It’s a psychological thing.

Deep Green Resistance Colorado 1 Comment
Despite a staged vote by the Castle Rock Town Council (following a sham ‘appeal’ process) to allow the Promenade Mall ecocide project to continue, lovers of life and the planet continue their efforts to save as many prairie dogs as possible. And their efforts continue to draw media attention. http://denver.cbslocal.com/2015/02/19/wildlife-advocates-want-to-protect-prairie-dogs-in-path-of-new-development/ Sadly, Mr. Cudlip had no … Continue reading Castle Rock Wildlife Advocates Not Going Away →
