He asks “At what point do we escalate?”,[1]:8​ stating that the modern climate movement has remained committed to “absolute non-violence” and avoided property destruction.[1]:22–23​ He criticizes what he defines as “moral pacifism” for failing to account for defensive violence[1]:30–32

He states that “property destruction is violence” but that “we must insist on it being different in kind from the violence that hits a human (or an animal) in the face,” distinguishing between violence against property and violence against people, but noting that violence “which hits material conditions necessary for subsistence” is violence against people.[1]:102–103

He quotes The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon, stating that Fanon wrote that violence “frees the native ‘from his despair and inaction; it makes him fearless and restores his self-respect’.” He concludes that “There has been a time for a Gandhian climate movement; perhaps there might come a time for a Fanonian one. The breaking of fences may one day be seen as a very minor misdemeanour indeed.”[1]:158–161

TL;DR

i watch videos that make me happy and wear pretty clothes and cut my hair in fun styles and do my makeup and drink strawberry tea and take two showers a day and i look on the bright side because goddamnit if god is trying to break me down, he'll have to try harder.

Obviously they know lol. I also want to say, while I don’t have links or anything for this, I’ve gotten several additions & tags on this post from diff ppl about their transmisogyny (insisting trans women aren’t terfs’ primary target & defending transmisogynist celebrities). They also mocked someone for suggesting we hold a celebrity who is an outspoken incest fetishist accountable for that.

[id: a screenshot of a post from @transgenderer that reads: "god every time i see land back shit it drives me insane, its just like...i mean first of all its blatant ethnonationalist bullshit but even barring that it doesnt make any sense, its totally alienated from material reality, the *only* purpose is it serves as rhetoric is performative radicalism". end id]

2 tired to argue with them but yeah. block transgenderer. if you DONT know whats wrong with this post, "#landback" is about giving indigenous people autonomy over their lands and lives. as activist jesse wente says, "Land Back is really about the decision-making power. It’s about self-determination for our Peoples here that should include some access to the territories and resources in a more equitable fashion, and for us to have control over how that actually looks." (x) it is NOT about ethnonationalism or "doing a reverse colonialism", and saying that is buying into white fear of retribution rhetoric that, upon the instatement of equal rights, minorities will take revenge and try to oppress white people back. this is, first of all, not a good reason to continue a legacy of oppression and deny people autonomy, especially considering it has no basis in the reality of what activists are fighting for, and second of all it is LITERAL white supremacist/white nationalist rhetoric so this person has absolutely no business calling other people ethnonationalists.
