About Me |
|
The BlueGreenEarth / An Talmh Glas collective set up the BlueGreenEarth website 6 weeks before 9/11 to discuss social ecology, via anarchism and the left. In late 2005 we set up a new website for the European Social Ecology Institute (founded 1992).

BlueGreenEarth interview at upstaterenegadeproductions http://upstaterenegadeproductions. com/messageboard/viewtopic. php?t=656
Empire or Humanity? "Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . . Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running and robbing the country. That's our problem." "The Earth is not dying. It is being killed and the people killing it have names and addresses." "If the complexity of our economies is impossible to sustain, our best hope is to start to dismantle them before they collapse." "Is it not already too late if one waits until one is thirsty to begin digging a well? "The meaningless absurdity of life is the only incontestable knowledge
accessible to man." "When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist." "It's always going to be difficult to come up with sustainable ways to support our unsustainable lifestyle." "It is a simple thing, this Golden Rule, and all that is required. Political economy and the survival of the fittest can go hang if they say otherwise. What is not good enough for you is not good enough for other men [sic], and there's no more to be said." "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side
of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and
you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your
neutrality." "Fascism is capitalism plus murder." "How could I look my grandchildren in the eye and say I knew about this and did nothing?" "As individual fingers we can easily be broken, but all together we make a mighty fist."
"Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell."
"God and Country are an unbeatable team; they break all records for oppression and bloodshed."
Which philosophy or religion do you follow? You scored as Atheist, Infidel, Skeptic, Humanist. [HOORAY!] Your beliefs are that of an atheist. It's not a religion as many people seem to think. It's simply the lack of the belief in god and the lack of a religon. Richard Dawkins pointed out that "We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further." Being a skeptic about things lacking evidence is a rational way of life. Being an infidel ussually means you're anti-Christianity and/or anti-Islam. Humanism is atheism with philosophy. Humanists are scientists, environmentalists, strive for peace and being a moral person.
Hilarious or heart-breaking? Humanist or anti-humanist? Some fun at Quizfarm - What kind of Anarchist are you? , a link I got via Vegan Cupcake (thanx!):
Apparently: Anarcho-communists seek to build a society based upon a decentralised federation of autonomous communes and a moneyless 'gift economy'. The movement first emerged in the late 19th century and has had a large influence particularly in Spain, Italy and Russia. Key thinkers include Peter Kropotkin and Errico Malatesta.
Anarcho-Communist 80% How I laughed! Well, these things are fun and part helpful, but let's not take 'em too seriously, eh?
PERMACULTURE & PEAK OIL: Beyond 'Sustainability' Hey, and another!
You scored as atheism. You are... an atheist, though you probably already knew this. Also, you probably have several people praying daily for your soul. Instead of simply being "nonreligious," atheists strongly believe in the lack of existence of a higher being, or God.
ooh! and some more, ain't it fun?
You scored as Green. The Green Party believes in an America where decisions are made by the people and not by a few giant corporations. Their environmental goal is a sustainable world where nature and human society co-exist in harmony. The Philosophy Meter You scored as Realism. Epistemological realism is a metaphysical position maintaining knowledge of an object independent of mind. Realists tend to be skeptics about the full implications of many ideas.
How It All Ends What's your ancient philosophy? You scored as Epicurean. Epicureanism is named for Epicurus, its founder. While its ends are similar, Epicureanism differs from Stoicism in its methods and its beliefs in the afterlife. Epicureans believe the soul (if it even exists) dies with the body and that no afterlife exists; therefore, one's life on earth if of the utmost importance.
Epicurean 67%
http://Bluegreenearth.bebo.com/ What kind of atheist are you? :
I scored as Militant Atheist, surprise? "Willing to take theists to task, the Militant Atheist is someone who knows deep within themselves that there is no god and they want to tell you all about how they know. Even though they're as annoying in their own way as militant theists, this is often a phase of development and doesn't tend to last very long" 40 years and counting, now! "If it does, they're in danger of becoming an Angry Atheist and making everyone uncomfortable." Hilarious, possibly true, but hilarious... ;-) 83% Angry Atheist 83% Apathetic Atheist 83% Scientific Atheist 75% Spiritual Atheist 50% Agnostic 42% Theist 42% Murray Bookchin Interview The World Clock displays statistical data for the globe. http://www.poodwaddle.com/worldclock.swf |
