Violent Extremism: Right to Rescue

One of hundreds of ways Regeneration, Inc. remains paralysed in white comfort is the lack of interest and involvement in animal rights issues. Folk would much rather go forest bathing and mushroom picking than stand trial for trespassing onto factory farms and rescuing and rehabilitating downed birds. “Diseased, decaying ducks…

Is it decolonial? Or is it colonial appropriation of indigeneity?

Several hundred years after the project first began in earnest, European colonisation of all human cultures continues to be highly successful in bringing about total and complete ethnocide, such that only One World remains: modern Western civilisation’s white supremacy culture.

Biological wolves identify as sheep in sheep’s clothing: On large private foundations

Today’s global landscapes of white supremacy and colonial hegemony are designed and dictated by private wealth, too often in the form of private foundations in too-close relationships with intergovernmental organisations and multinational corporations. Let’s say such a private foundation suddenly grew conscious of this fact, so conscious that they became…

An open letter to the “post-growth” movement

Post-growth advocates try to encourage, connect and further develop already existing ideas, concepts, technologies, systems, initiatives, and actions. The vast majority of…
