Interesting analysis

I don't understand the criticism of climate camp, after criticising the apocalyptic scenario, you then criticise the hope or optimism in their propaganda. Which is it to be? You also make extremely vague comments about 'reality' and empowering yourself through doing what you can. And talk about burning and smashing stuff. I'm pretty sure that those are also the views (and possible past actions!) of a lot of people behind climate camp. The time now has come when climate change has been accepted as a 'framing device', a ;'meta-narrative' in government and economic circles, as a metaphor if nothing else for the myriad destructive aspects of capitalism, neo-liberalism and globalisation of the economy. Climate camp is part of the process of using that narrative to build self-empowerment and to argue that people should try to take their anger, hope, common-sense, whatever, and apply it back home in 'reality' as well.

Try critical engagement

However that's is precisely the reason we should engage with the climate camp. The proposed solutions to climate change could well be the central axis around which attacks on us are organised and existing hierarchies and inequalities extended. Yet at the same time there is an obvious anti-capitalist strain to acting against climate change because capital's need to expand is the cause of it.
Then again UK ideologies have never been very good at critical engagement better to play the all knowing eye and look down on those without your occult insight. This one adds a contrarian twist along the lines that 'the more we embrace hopelessness the more hope we have'. Fucking Goths.
I'm going.
