Greedy Lying Bastards: Exposing The Fossil Fools Who Put Profit Before Human Lives

One of the few-and-far-between perks of being a climate blogger is that occasionally I get access to books and movies before the general public does.

This past weekend I got to watch “Greedy Lying Bastards” before it hit movie screens across the U.S. on Monday. Sunday night I, along with some fellow Citizens Climate Lobby volunteers, got together to watch this 90 minute documentary.

This movie exposes the American fossil fuel interests that have been blocking action on climate change for decades, taking a page – and some of the same PR firms and lobbyists – right out of the tobacco companies’ playbook.

Anarcha-Feminism! Lets annihalate Patriarchy !

What is Anarcha Feminism??

Although opposition to the state and all forms of authority had a strong voice among the early feminists of the 19th century, the more recent feminist movement which began in the 1960’s was founded upon anarchist practice. This is where the term anarcha-feminism came from, referring to women anarchists who act within the larger feminist and anarchist movements to remind them of their principles.

The modern anarcha-feminists built upon the feminist ideas of previous anarchists, both male and female. Indeed, anarchism and feminism have always been closely linked. Many outstanding feminists have also been anarchists, including Continue reading “Anarcha-Feminism! Lets annihalate Patriarchy !”
