"If we wish to stop the atrocities, we need merely to step away from the isolation. There is a whole world waiting for us, ready to welcome us home." Derrick Jensen
Excerpt from Endgame
Understatement (p. 709)
From chapter "What It Means to Be Human"
I think that above I understated the problem. The world is being killed. It is not true that if we do not fight back we run the risk of destroying our own souls and our dignity, and we run the risk of allowing those who are exterminating the world to move ever faster. At this point, with all excuses long since exhausted, if we do not fight back we destroy our own souls and our own dignity, and far worse, we do allow those who are exterminating the world to move ever faster.No risk about it.
