Derrick Jensen in Vancouver

http://submedia.tv/endciv/2009/11/09/derrick-jensen-q-a/
subMedia recently held a fundraiser for END:CIV in Vancouver where we premiered the latest clips from the movie. We also beamed in Derrick Jensen via weblink where attendees could ask him questions and have an interactive discussion. The Q & A went so well that we decided to release the video online.

IS THAT THE STIMULATORS FACE?

[MOONKISSED503]

maybe you should read some of Derrick's books? He addresses the questions you posed.

Derrick Jensen what a dick.

At one point in this vid, Jensen jokes about getting "kicked out of the anarchy club".

Just wondering if anyone knows what he's referring to?

I know those fickle anarchists are tough to please!

If you read the majority of Jensens' works, he explains how hope and faith are poor substitutes for real action. I've always found his message inspiring because he cuts through the nonsense and rationalizations for not doing anything about the gross injustice all around us. What's depressing to me is resigning yourself to green consumerism and tending a little garden while the larger world is destroyed and it's remaining life enslaved.

This society is great at sustainability. Sustaining the queues at the super markets at constant length. Sustaining classes. Sustaining occupational wars. Sustaining human ignorance.

clarity. Domination is the issue. It arises from competition to WIN.... which itself arises from Power Over others.... all of which impose a lack of natural empathy, sensitivity.... in order to exist. The civilisation of domination is the problem because it does not co-operate, it competes in the negative sense of the word. It also conditions all it's children to compete.

To break it you must break the conditioning cycles.. in yourself first, then around you.

Then let natural intelligence be.

why are they robbing him

Jensen has depressed me enough, I cant take anymore.

I would counter with; have you read Bill Mollisons books?

[NeoSapienist]

that last guy sure get it!! civilization itself is a tumor, if it is sustainable it is not civilization. Nomadic ways is truly the only sustainable way to live with this planet. and i don't know if you can have a mobile nomadic "civilization"...
