The Alternative to Our Evil Society Isn’t Chaos and Nihilism. It’s LIFE.

The situation is intentionally framed dishonestly because an honest framing would doom evil.

They scream bloody murder when we say “we must stop using oil.” We’ll die, they say. They’ll accuse us of being inhumane and/or unrealistic. They’ll have tantrums. They’ll threaten us.

Or, they’ll simply ignore us and continue drilling, refining and pouring gigatons of toxins into our air, water, and earth.

We aren’t having it, though. They are insane and we fully understand that and we aren’t willing to die — or to let our children be murdered — to satisfy the whims of the insane.

Facts ARE Facts

We are deeply endangered because of a deadly flaw in our species — the inclination towards obedience. We have been going along with those who would kill us, kill our children, kill nearly every species that shares the Earth with us. They would do it out of ideology, or greed, or selfishness, or just sheer stupidity.

These are the institutions under which we live and the people who operate those institutions. Even the “leaders” — the people nominally in charge — are like obedient automatons. They aren’t powerful. They’re willing slaves to a destructive series of systems — economic, political, social.
