Saturday Radical Culture: Full Stream of End:Civ
Crimethinc is streaming the film End:Civ in full online. The film:
Examines our culture’s addiction to systematic violence and environmental exploitation, and probes the resulting epidemic of poisoned landscapes and shell-shocked nations. Based in part on Endgame, the best-selling book by Derrick Jensen, END:CIV asks: “If your homeland was invaded by aliens who cut down the forests, poisoned the water and air, and contaminated the food supply, would you resist?”
The causes underlying the collapse of civilizations are usually traced to overuse of resources. As we write this, the world is reeling from economic chaos, peak oil, climate change, environmental degradation, and political turmoil. Every day, the headlines re-hash stories of scandal and betrayal of the public trust. We don’t have to make outraged demands for the end of the current global system—it seems to be coming apart already.

I saw this when it opened in Tucson. It has it’s points, but I think people who fetishize violence are just the sadistic flip side of masochistic pacifists. I told the film maker point blank and he didn’t have a real response. More empty rhetoric for suburbanites who have never been in a fight or even touched a gun as far as I’m concerned.
