• It sure is. RT @sherwinarnott: Wow. This place is packed for a panel on environmentalism and social movements and #failure – #yyj #
• Michael McGonigle brings up the #occupy movement right off the bat at "exit environmentalism". Warns audience it will be provocative. #exitE #
• What is the problem? Every ecological issue has a "hockey stick" trajectory #exitE #
• Will be using #exitE for the #uvic Michael mcgonigle lecture on the failures of environmentalism… #
• We have been trying to make capitalism "smart". But there's a problem. Efficiency gains rebound too quickly. #exitE #
• It is easier to imagine the end of the planet than the end of capitalism #exitE prime example, carbon pricing. #
• The contradiction of the stable state is the other issue. The state is the biggest developer and resource exploiter. #exitE #
• The rise of liberal democracy linked to increased resource use. Capitalism is a fossil fuel economy #exitE #
• Michael mcgonigle is channeling john Michael Greer to T 🙂 #exitE #
• Capitalism is hegemonically structured to be "natural". Shapes our narrative. #exitE #
• Exit environmentalism = social (re)evolution. 5 stages analysis. 1. Denial. Capital has to expand. #exitE #
• Environmentalists are now "special interest" group. Need to move past denial #exitE 2. Anger. Formulated as agency. #
• The #occupy movement understands that our problems are beyond specific demands resolutions. Need new logics. Environmental justice #exitE #
• 3. Bargaining. Need to create new insurgency. Need to create dissensus. "slap thy neighbour" #exitE #
• Hey. A house of the communes rather than house of the commons 🙂 globalisation from the bottom up #exitE #
• 4. Enchantment. Need a new reference point. Not human (capitalism) or capitalism (socialism). Nature is an adjunct #exitE #
• Round and round we go. Nature is left out #exitE #
• We need a new naturalism. Not enough to just not violate the physical laws of nature. Need to revisit the society that underlies. #exitE #
• New naturalism needs to be critical. Needs to know limits, not overreach #exitE #
• 5. Acceptance or liberation. #exitE is not a utopian ideal. But equity will be regarded as functional, not utopian. #
• Indeed. Liberal feminism has the same issues as liberal environmentalism #exitE #
• It was mentioned that a video of the Michael M'Gonigle exit environmentalism talk at #sis #uvic will be available #exitE #
