The Concrete Apocalypse

The Sixth Adventure

Go the Nuclear Bio-industrial survivors!


Time to protect the last healthy ecosystems that are being destroyed by an accelerating, churning capitalist system.

Run to the old growth forests before there’s none to run to!

Stop the salt by stopping the land clearing and replanting salt tolerant and where possible (and preferably) indigenous vegetation to the salt affected lands.

Let’s do it now! The government steals our ability to managing these problems ourselves and champions an economic system that will run the ecosystems to the ground if they are not stopped.

The grassroots environmental movement will continue fighting, no matter how much propaganda spews forth from the modern day demon corporate machine.

We don't just have to work together, we have to live together, accept our diversities, and save our collective home

We need to get some grassroots foundations where we can build our own examples of self-sustainable and equitable living.

This starts with not asking politicians and business if we can. We will need to keep asking for scraps of upper class criminals, or we can get our shit together and show to people that don't have much hope or care, that there is an alternative way of living

We all know how easy it could be to live a back to earth lifestyle, especially if we were able to reach our full potential and put our energies to solving our collective problem/s, instead of making money. (For ourselves, and more so for upper class criminals)

We don't all have the conditions to reach our full potential; there is no justice JUST US.

We have forgotten those that have not been exposed to the life lessons we have. Every one has responsibility for what they do and what they allow to occur, but how do we know the extent of grand manipulations of society, let alone inform others who don't perceive the manipulations

People are scared. It’s just that the majority of people outside of privilege don't exactly know what it is they are petrified of. Is it terrorists? Is it interest rates? Foreign invaders? Hippies? Bike riders? Children from the Middle East?

Meanwhile, people like us know it is the ones telling us what to be scared of that are the ones to be scared of.

Communicate with other people, maybe we should do it softly, softly, but then maybe we should be bold and shocking. Putting a stronger case for change politically will only come if people are to connect with themselves, and through recognising the people and communities excluded and struggling to survive.

We can’t make people change if they don’t feel that change for the better is possible. With less unionised workplaces and less community interaction, people are becoming further isolated from the support that they need when they are being exploited.

Due to the overwhelming capitulation the system, through fear and propaganda, has forced people into, many on the battlelines in the local fronts of the ‘resistance as global as capital’, can feel isolated and distraught fighting corporate Goliaths.

It seems that gradual environmental improvements in policy are just green wash. Environmental impact statements are non-existent or completely dodgy if the environment is to be completely altered or destroyed, such as blowing up the heads of the bay to allow bigger ships (and especially US military ships) to port.

Where? well ports across Australia, including Melbourne (south east), Port Adelaide (south-central) and Freemantle (southwest)

These are the secret plans of the government that most people voted for again, in spite of its history of lies and manipulations. The current Thatcher like governments proves that the road to equality and sustainability does not have a stop called parliamentary reform.

The legal and parliamentary system opposes natural law and was set up by genocidal, colonial fascists. Stop mining Aboriginal Lands!

We need to love a bit more. Yeah, we need to wake up a little bit first. Do we want heaps more US troops and nuclear vessels here? Do we want to be a base for US ships, so they can refuel here, and thus be at war in the Middle East longer. Do we want to be involved in wars in the Middle East which benefit the rich oil corporations?

If you don’t want to go to war, then don’t be so apathetic. Life is so hard for all of us, but it is only through coming together and supporting each other’s struggles that people can feel empowered and less scared.

There is a cultural gap between people active for equality and ecology and people who are more absorbed in their own lives or survival. These cultural gaps are presented in media stereotypes and further ingrain xenophobic and alienating attitudes in society toward activists.

I do not know how we move ahead if most people are not connected to independent media and rely solely on the Murdoch-packer-fairfax juggernaut of bias toward big business, and more independent communal spaces and natural environments are being destroyed and remade into commercial spaces.

Apart from the inner-city areas or the bohemian locales that may support student spaces at uni, Trades Halls, NGOs, and ethical and environmentally based shops and food outlets, where else do we distribute alternative and independent literature in the suburbs dominated by big shopping centres?

And what about the computer illiterate, not connected to the Internet?

I do not know how to create more awareness of what is really going on in the world, but it surely involves an active and closer community of people. It also involves each one of us to spend time on our own troublemaking for the greater good.

This is the way to liberate your soul from capital and state, subvert, scream angst, poke fun. Stand your ground, secretly monkeywrench the system for your whole life!Go back to basics, use materials and styles that you learnt as a kid, available in most newsagencies and hardware shops as five finger discounts. Remember don’t pay Bunnings to subvert there logo.

Make them supply the materials that you can expose them with. You must stay two steps ahead, and do it on your own time and scale, as you want to stay ahead of the system, not get imprisoned further in it. Capitalism’s dumping of useful objects can be used against it. Re use and Give away stuff discarded in dumpsters and the environment

Remember who the real terrorists are, and remember that terrorist leaders are the richest CEOS, Who is the fucken terrorist?!!

THE CORPORATIONS ARE THE BIGGEST TERRORISTS ON PLANET EARTH

My friend describes people as stupid earth monkeys. When will we, the stupid earth monkeys, rise up? Hey we couldn’t make things perfect, and we earth monkeys would never agree on what perfect is, and whether it can actually exist,

When described as a Utopian, I always reply in realism, that we could do a helluva lot better than we are doing now. Why not aim high but remain down to earth about the realities we face? Can’t we move at least in the general direction?

Anarchist ideas and decision making should not be ignored because we could never agree on everything perfectly; it is because of this that Anarchist decision making should be applied.

To best accommodate all the people, not just the ones who luckily fall into the majority category, which appears often to be the category of denial and apathy. This apathy is best described, in my opinion, as where "the majority of us remain struck dead in our tracks, and our whole world may keel over before we wake up and act�

A wise considerate person will tell you to care about and listen to others. So why are we still following a pack of fools, who aim to impose their apocalyptic vision of death and doom on all of us?

Apathy is not endearing or a right, it is a privilege that comes on the backs of the slaves the privileged chose not to care about. Apathy prevents us recognising the dead “canary in the coalmine�. Watch out for martial law. As Public Enemy sing, “know where to run when they come, come�

Need to Love a Bit More. It certainly makes me angry that we as a society don’t care enough to stand up and say no. It is only the people saying no to the upper class in the past, that have put most of us in a more comfortable position in the workplace. Now we are willing to let go of all those community and worker fought rights?

Need to Love a Bit More. How about reconsidering as a society, the value and usefulness of the work we do and companies we work for. Sure we all have to survive currently, and some of us feel little option but to take a job in a big corporation, but this doesn’t take anyone’s autonomy to question, even if just with themselves, the value of what we are doing and whether it is aiding a company actively harming people and nature.

For those arguing that they fight within the system, they should remember to fight and not get so cosy in their paychecks and richer lifestyles. Learning is more valuable than money rewards, and less of the latter leads to more of the former.

There will be pain for people on the personal level that will lead to greater understanding of the common struggle and repression across the globe. People need to be able to project their own personal problems into the global sphere, and realise what gives them dis-ease and unfulfilment is placed in a bigger picture, a greater context of suffering.

To tell our stories amongst those who will listen for those who will listen in the future and hear themselves.

How people change the story of the future is perhaps up to them. How can people become what is known as green, the colour of concern for the planet. Are we born green, are we turned green, and are we green due to negative or positive experiences with nature? The acknowledged necessity of a planet to live on is now needed.

There are a lot of people deadset against people with green outlooks, but then you always get rednecks. Perhaps being green is through an understanding of interconnection and the realisation of the shared home space of our planet.

Seek out the cracks among the concrete apocalypse and get down to earth. Remember your hope when you see cracks in the concrete path, and remember that plants can and would break the concrete slabs if allowed and that society’s unhappy relationship with nature will not last forever, and plants will return to places where they have been banished.

Witness the survival of indigenous grasses on the fringes of the concrete monolithic paths of society. Say no to Herbicides! Feel the truth in the vast ocean. We have no right to poison the ocean, rivers and lands. Prioritise protection of the biosphere.

Support the survival of Indigenous cultures and re-examine the genocide and repercussions of colonialisation. It always is Aboriginal Land.

Australia is illegal under international law. Sovereignty has never been ceded and the Traditional lore systems of Indigenous people have never been allowed to be heard, let alone respected, under this genocidal, imperialist, capitalist system.

Realise that at some point, our ancestors were too colonised and that the wisdoms of ancient cultures around the world carries the message of the strong heart, bound to the mother earth.

Lets stop the destruction we witness unfold in this Concrete Apocalypse. Time for joyous uprising of NO. Join up with the inspiration of every day people, with no media coverage or financial backing fighting in the grassroots communities for something better than neoliberal globalisations.

It is our seeking out of an alternative globalisation that can give our movement for positive social change and ecological balance, the strength to do something in our local spheres of the globe.

The whole world may not always be watching, (in spite of our chant to authority) but there are a lot of people that will find out about our injustices, from our own independent communication networks. There are chances amongst all of us to share mutual solidarity.

So don’t give up yet.

Through our collective despair comes our many sparks of hope. Lets restate and reaffirm our global resistance, and keep fighting for our collective future.
