Derrick Jensen & Lierre Kieth Occupy Seattle 1/5

[Locrian08]

The Myth in Lierre's V-myth book is the myth of eliminating all agriculture. It's either a myth or a very dangerous idea that needs to be taken with deadly seriousness: There are roughly 6 billion humans on the planet. How many humans could the planet support without agriculture? How are we getting from 6 billion to under 1 billion? Mass murder, starvation, forced sterilization? What did we learn from the last century about extremist ideologues who didn't value human life?

Humans, non humans, and the land are intricately tied in ways that are not always immediately clear.Lierre Keith goes into this in her book Vegetarian Myth, an excerpt is here:

The bottom line is that the natural world is primary, and we could learn to live with that natural world if we weren't so bent on turning her into 'resources' to be consumed.To stop the savagery we must stand with life and against this culture that is devouring any chance we have for a future.

Deep Green Resistance (DGR) is a movement based on the book, co-authored by Derrick Jensen, called Deep Green Resistance: Strategy to Save the Planet. DGR has a plan of action for anyone ready to fight for this planet-and win. In the Occupy Movement, the focus on financial inequality versus the devastation of the earth is a false split. The 1% would have no wealth to steal without exploiting humans AND exploiting the land. Now this war has two sides. Learn more at:

@DeepGreenResistance ummmm AND exploiting/enslaving and torturing non-human animals, whose exploitation in turn completely depletes resources and causes disease and starvation for humans? Their treatment and abuse is a critical component of the equation indeed. You are just spinning your wheels otherwise

Thanks for the great upload! However, the first quote in the description about navigating systems of oppression is misattributed to Derrick, it's actually a quote by Lierre.

But seriously, an excellent upload, thanks so much for capturing this and uploading it :)
