"on the other hand, it would be a false premise to believe that activism (which is not true action) is the road to revolution."
Paolo Freire
in "Pedagogy of the Oppressed"
Will (our) activism bring true system change or just minor changes to the status quo?
How big will be our impact, will we just get a few reforms out of this and no true change in the power dynamics of the world?
And who will pay for changes in this system if we do not watch carefully at the fingers of those in power, probably the most exploited and most vulnerable, MAPA.

No matter, at least people do not stop pushing back...
And be it in the form of activism...

Um you see this land and water your village uses to hunt, farm, and fish on? I'm going to set up a Nestlé PureLife bottling plant and drain out all your water and privatize your farmland. Then I'm going to make you pay for the water and food from the same land you used to get them from without paying for it by working for me at below subsistence wages (or none at all). Since before I did this, there was no GDP generated from the land, this obviously means that me privatizing the land and making GDP go up lifted you from poverty. You should be thanking us colonizers and capitalists instead of asking us for reparations.

I must’ve turned over a couple of pages in the climate books and missed the bit where climate chaos would also mean that military bases (like this NATO/US airbase in Greece) catch fire, ammo detonates and surrounding towns have to be evacuated…but hey:
