Status Updates From How to Blow Up a Pipeline

A lot to digest, I feel like I need to take notes

The last chapter delves into some discussion on climate fatalism and, as I saw it, how narcissistic it is. I wasn't surprised to read about those who are strictly against any form of resistance or collective action, but I was very interested to see a thorough critique of adventurism and unorganized militancy as equally fatalistic and self-serving.

The conclusion of the chapter, after much discussion of neglected tactics, muses on the when and how these tactics might be employed, to what extent, and the consequences if employed incorrectly. Namely, I think, it does emphasize a diversity of tactics with a core movement and multiple, more radical flanks working in tandem (Intentionally, or otherwise).

Some entertaining of the theoretical outcomes of well organized sabotage or property destruction, as well as musing on what exactly constitutes 'violence'. The idea being that equating property destruction with violence against people is ridiculous and taking that stance makes you hard pressed to find ANY resistance non-violent.
