When nation states themselves are destructive, brutal and foolish, do we want them at all?
I’ve been suggesting that people need to ignore authorities and take positive actions themselves as a community. We have one planet, that planet is in trouble, and out of enlightened self-interest we must refuse to cooperate with fools who are ruining the climate and killing the biosphere.
We need vibrant local communities and a strong world community to counteract the dangerous stupidity of governments and corporations.
Not Dismantling the State. Just Ending Cooperation With Evil Actions.
Everywhere, ordinary people — not leaders, billionaires, or authorities — do everything. Nothing happens without us.
It is we — not governments and corporations — who are destroying the Earth, killing people in wars, allowing and even committing acts of violence and brutality. We are doing these terrible things in obedience to the “powerful people.”
We have been foolish. By “we,” I include myself.
Now is the time to stop cooperating and to end our active support of such terrible actions. Just as a culture of hatred, violence, division and willful ignorance takes hold, WE need to roundly reject it, and embody the opposite.
