Depressing but true: we’re hurtling toward human-caused climate collapse and our political-economic system, captured by capitalist elites intent on squeezing out profits until the day our civilization collapses, is effectively incapable of responding by itself. It must be forced: but how? Petitions haven’t worked. Rallies haven’t worked. Posting on Instagram hasn’t worked. And ****ing up pipelines, sexy though it might be, hasn’t worked. So while purists call for mass eco-insurgency and liberals circulate change.org petitions, the A22 Network has responded by organizing and mobilizing huge numbers of committed militants around the Western world, using large-scale civil disobedience as a tactic to push governments to adopt basic climate policies. These tactics have been controversial but successful: Just Stop Oil, the British branch of A22 perhaps best known for throwing soup at a Van Gogh, recently disbanded itself because its main demand — that the UK government cease approving any new oil and gas exploitation projects — has been adopted. In Episode 81 we chat with Laura Sullivan, a spokesperson for Last Generation Canada, which is the Canadian branch of the A22 Network. We talk about Last Generation’s demands, the tactics used by the group, combating the freeze response often provoked by discussions of climate collapse, and preparing for revolutionary conditions as things inevitably deteriorate.
