In the end, it’s about how we see the world. It’s about a vision of society. I’m clear on the kind of world that the leaders of the G20 are steering us toward, and on the interests that they are representing. I’m clear that they are utterly failing to tackle the environmental crisis, have no clear plan for our economies in crisis that will help regular people, are not resolving the armed conflicts in the world, and are worsening the poverty that much of the world faces. They are steering us toward a world of fighting over the dwindling resources of oil and water, amidst a tidal wave of displaced and disappearing people, where even the few who can protect themselves from that stuff will be victims to the toxicity of the environment and the unpredictable new climate we’re creating.
A Guide To The G20 Protests For the Not Yet Radical
Beautifully deconstructs the "protesting doesn't do anything" (except, historically, earn you every single right you have as a human being with the blood, sweat and tears of centuries of activism... ahem) and the "BUT THE WINDOWS!!! Police violence is nothing compared to the fate of those poor, innocent WINDOWS!" derail, as well as a bunch of other liberal BS surrounding the G20 protests, in an accessible and straightfoward way.
Though it's a bit long.
