Getting Shining Path vibes now from DGR with this lib shit of becoming a bunch of terfs and acting as wrecking balls for leftist environmental unity. Also Politico is writing this as though it's the fault of trans activists cuss fucking of course they would :agony:

    Terfs will even trample over indigenous rights before they ever even consider shutting up about trans people. What a travesty.

      Legit you got the indigenous rights groups and other pro environment groups now telling the DGR to fuck off as they believe that trans rights are human rights, and the whole movement in Nevada wasn't at all hurt by this it just showed that the DGR are led by bigots and morons. Edit: in short I feel DGR is intentionally being a wrecker by stating they are terfs and this kinda feels like a compromised group but failed in their goal and instead get to enjoy being shunned now

      Terfs aren't femin- oh you changed it as I was typing this. Thanks.

      It's a nitpick I know, but hate when people accociate feminism with these kinds of bigots.

    “It’s frustrating to me. I want to talk about the murder of the planet,” Jensen said.

    Seems like it would be really easy to just talk about the murder of the planet and not be mad at trans women all the time.

      trans women are so powerful and destructive that theyve been shoving their dicks into little holes in the ground to aid big oil with fracking :sadness: glad to see that DGR is so principled against environmental destruction

      ok i need to turn off transgendercirclejerk mode its basically a state of being at this point

    Jensen and his forest TERFs have been bad for ages. He made like two decent documentaries and then got looped into Sacred Feminine (but only if you're the right sort of feminine) second-wave shit. DGR is and has been trash for a decade.

      Jensen was also Chris Hedges' friend and source for when he wronte that hilarious hit piece on black bloc being the Cancer of Occupy. According to Hedges (probably from info he gathered from Jensen) black bloc is being led by anprim Zerzan.

      Yeah seems the only people that like them are closeted ecofash and peeps that are brutalistic primitivists (i.e. the weird return to nature lets purge the weak folks).

    lmao love the framing of that photograph to make them look like theyre doing a nazi salute

    lithium mines are the consequence of going for solar though. people act like solar is 100% free hippy dippy stuff like trees growing in the ground. no, you still gotta mine for that shit karen, yes the oil companies bought all the lithium and solar companies because they know its the same deal as oil

    might as well do nuclear :posadist-nuke:

      In all honesty the only way green energy can work is with nuclear as well as severe reversal in our amount and style of consumption (i.e. like wipe out half the factories on the planet dedicated to entertainment consumption as well as streamline food delivery).

        i mean unless fusion happens, which it probably will this century. obviously the climate will be fucked by then but lets not kid ourselves, its just gonna get fucked anyways

          yeah even with fusion the climate crisis will lead to irreversible damage to how our infrastructure functions and will likely lead to US collapse if it already hasn't fallen by then

        Yeah. Lots of fissible materials. If we get to fusion we can even produce lithium as a byproduct. Idk how much would be harvestable though.

    This org screams intel-op. Like they dont even have to be government/industry operatives themselves, just the fact that they probably receive anonymous funding from those sources. Like this is exactly what counter intelligence organizations want to do to left wing movements, create dissension, fragmentation, and stall action. The fact that they so very prominently associate themselves as terfs is also really weird for an environmental movement. Like if they really gave a shit about their radical environmental claims like they say they do they would publicly jettison their terf shit the moment it caused problems for their main goals; like I dont care if they stop being bigots, they could just shut up about it when working on a more important goal. The fact that they stick to that and make it a thing is super weird. If I were a major player in any environmental action I would do everything I could to cauterize my org and organizing from these people, they are an obvious massive liability, even if they didnt stir shit in the movement the fact that they are such odious bigots would be a massive point of PR vulnerability for a movement that needs to court the general public if it wants to succeed (Both for good and bad the trasnsphobia will alienate libs from and be highly unlikely to attract Cons, a few of whom might be sympathetic regardless, to your movement).

      Looking into DGR showed they advocated some pretty militant shit in the 2010s and even had guidelines on creating a public face and private cells for direct eco-terrorism (never heard of them committing any eco-terrorism though which makes them even lamer). Would put money down they got honey potted or infiltrated in a way that compromised them and are now used as a back pocket extremist group the fed can use as they need.
