Sunday. Facebook day.

What a lot of people moaning because they can't accept a simple answer to a complex question. Three weeks of people unable to see beyond the end of their nose and being manipulated, and now they still can't see what is going on. Not that I can either, but there is plenty of good as well as some bad about the vote.

In part it is in favour of decentralisation (a good green principle) and against decisions being taken by a remote and arrogant political class.
That political class largely acts in the interests of planet destroying global business. Business itself is only doing what it is structurally constrained to do by a capitalist economic system. Capitalism is founded on a single vision rationalist world view which sees man as over nature, rather than part of nature.

Other philosophies are available.

Some of them are better tuned to the ecological systems which we are all a part of rather than masters of.

Back from two weeks with no computer, in places with mostly no phone signal and no data connection even when there was phone reception, no sign of any supermarkets apart from a small coop in every town, no sight of any newspapers (they were available but why bother with their secondhand reality), and no radio.

Yes it was in England and it was glorious.

Glancing through the updates here people have posted some interesting links to seemingly true but disempowering information (eg on various aspects of the state of the biosphere and the politicosphere) - thanks for those. I don't think I'll be writing anything on here again.

If you want to say something to me either phone me or letter me or come round. The revolution will not be facebooked.

Leaving

Unfortunately the official green party is no longer the Ecology Party and it is very odd to see long standing greens turning their back on all their ecological princples and backing a capitalist growth engine.

You know that small is beautiful and that centralisation only concentrates power and alienates people from their habitat.
You know that membership of the EU is not the only or even the best way to talk to and work with our neighbours.
You know that the solution to our ecological emergency requires massive and fundamental changes that simply cannot be imposed by a system that is fundamentally opposed to such changes.

So the only sane green answer is to vote leave.

I simply do not understand why you are all so scared of change and imagine voting for business as usual will not continue to make things worse - much worse. All this left right stuff is just internal Tory froth - for goodness sake see through it, stop being deluded and vote leave.
