#endegelande

[stone-that-the-builder-refused]

This is one of the most horrible days i recently experienced. Hambi is being evicted and killed by capitalist RWE and police so that they can dig for lignite (browncoal), thereby burning the most polluting resource “available”.  People occupying the forest are being attacked with violence and pepperspray. The more than 140 (threatened) species living there are being threatened with death, extermination. In short, these powers stand for pure destruction against a community built for construction, for the maintenance and love for the 12.000 (!!!) years old forest.  The court gave permission to RWE to destroy everything and kick out the people that have been living there for more than 5 years. Police is working - of course - hand in hand with the destructive system, being destructive itself by means of excessive and unnecessary violence against non-violent people defending this last bit of precious earth.  What is wrong with this world? Why does it seem as if every-fucking-thing in this world - the values of good and bad, relations of power, what is loved and what is destroyed - is upside down?  Today, for me, this world and its people, is unfathomable.  Today, the world and its institutions and companies, are slowly killing me. How much exploitation do we still need to take? How much longer do we stay silent and meek, do we give them the space to do this? How much longer, and how much do we take, are we able to take?
