Game 2 of the "Mitakuye Oyasin"
GLOOM AND DOOM DOUBLE HEADER
will take place on Thursday, December 13 from 1:30pm to 3:00pm on kboo radio at 90.7fm, on the web at www.kboo.fm.
Last time we interviewed economist James Craven about the impending economic collapse.
This time we are interviewing Derrick Jensen. Derrick Jensen is the author of "Endgame," two books about how horrific civilization is as well as how it is unsustainable. His recent book, a graphic novel with Stephanie McMillan is called "As the World Burns: 50 simple things you can do to stay in denial."
Derrick will be speaking at Disjecta, on the Burnside Bridge east side at 7pm on December 19 in a benefit for "Rewilding." This talk was organized by Urban Scout, and with the help of Shusli, we got an interview with him for Mitakuye Oyasin.
Many alleged anarchists have been on the attack of Urban Scout because the price is $15 to $18. They are calling him a green capitalist. They did not talk with him, they just went on the attack on Portland Indy Media. When one uses violence, it is usually to get something you want. Anarchists I used to believe were non-violent, but they have proven that such is not true. They, like a gang of thugs, are willing to attack somebody instead of negotiate. Hey...that sounds like co-King George and Iran, doesn't it. So, in my opinion, since using violence an not netogiation is an imperical pattern, and since empires are elitist, I think it is safe to say now that alleged Anarchists in Portland are truly elitist and imperilaist, just like the system they allege to be fighting against.
What they could have done was said: "Hey, Scout, why so much, pal?" And if Scouts answer was reasonable, they could have said "Hey, my monthly trust fund check hasn't come through from semi wealthy mom and dad, is there something we can work out?" But they didn't. Why? Imperical elitists maybe?
