How to Blow Up a Pipeline by Andreas Malm

dark informative medium-paced

Mixed feelings on this one. I feel like we pulled in a LOT of anarchic and communistic rhetoric to provide the ethos for the climate movement turning violent. The final section comparing the “climate fatalism” to those who thought slavery would always be an intrinsic component of the American economy was…interesting. This book feels motivating at best and foreboding at worst. Very intesting take on why the climate movement hasn’t been violent in the past 20 years and the possible projection of violence in the future but I feel like by the time climate change inaction motivates people enough to storm energy plants, there might not be that much left to save. 

Also roping Franz Fanon into this was CRAAAAZY the guy is wack
