Interview about organic radicalism

Interview with a person of the alternative social networks who wishes to remain anonymous

Nancy : Who is the inventor and the origin?

As is so often the case, there is no single inventor.

Ecological radicalism, of course, comes from the anarchist environmental movement.

Indigenous communities are certainly also models, but also historical movements in general.

The term was ultimately created to distinguish it from other current movements and above all to emphasise the non-technical, non-mechanical.

Old terms like socialism and anarchism have been used up, and the grassroots movement is also no longer entirely free in its thinking.

Therefore, organic radicalism is not a one-sided critique of all these movements, but an attempt to highlight what they have in common.

Life itself, organic life.

Whereby the organ is not a mechanical model that serves only one purpose, but organic is precisely this diversity of the differently living, which only have in common that they all interact with each other.

Nancy : What is organic radicalism according to your vision and its impact in a life without going into personal details?

In my view, technology has increasingly decoupled man from his own living needs and made him a slave to productivity and the goods produced.

Due to the work in this society, people have less and less time for the encounters with each other.

Thus many needs are no longer fulfilled. Goods and commodities step in as a substitute. Everything becomes a commodity and estranged.

Even the fun and recreation in this society can only be acquired through goods.

For the production of these goods as well as for communication among each other, man is dependent on technology, which in this way not only becomes a means of production, but even arouses desire. In order to receive this technology and with it the need satisfaction, it must be acquired. This is the driving force of man to produce goods that enable him to satisfy his needs.

I consider this to be a completely artificial way of life.
A way which not only alienates man more and more from his own needs, but which also has a negative effect on the environment and other fellow creatures.

The Organic radicalism, on the other hand, puts life in the foreground. It puts the possibilities in the foreground like humans with as small as possible expenditure the human needs satisfies and also the maximum consideration for the environment and other living beings takes.

The highest maxim of organic radicalism is therefore the careful use of natural resources.

Organic radicalism is anti-capitalist and also criticizes the previous course of civilization. However, it does not assume a natural revolutionary subject, the working class, which overcomes capitalism, but relies on its own responsibility and each individual.

On the contrary, he is convinced that the working population in this system is condemned to have the same interests as the people for whom they work and, moreover, has not seen itself as a collective power for a long time.

For this reason, it is a matter of making people aware of this dead end into which their search for salvation in technology will inevitably lead. And at the same time to show other ways.

Nancy : Do you think it will have an impact on the planet eventually?

Regardless of possible man-made climate change, the impact of humans on nature cannot be overlooked. More and more forests are being cleared, swamps drained, rivers dammed and technical constructions placed in the environment.

Current plans want to fix existing environmental problems with even more technology and even more digitization.
All things that consume even more resources.

Ecological radicalism, on the other hand, wants to reduce the human footprint on the environment. That is, there would be more room for an environment that can develop as freely as possible.

An environment that is not subordinated to humans everywhere, but has room for its own development.

Of course, organic radicalism will also consume resources and shape the environment according to its needs in many areas, but it does not want to turn the whole planet into potential human capital, but is convinced that it, the human being, is ultimately a small part of the whole evolution that has shaped life over millions of years until today.

Therefore, organic radicalism respects all fellow human beings and also accepts its own human limitations.

The driving force is a harmonious coexistence of humans as a whole and, if possible, with all living beings and where this is not possible. Two different spaces for human needs and natural growth.

So it is not only about conservation of the environment, but also to allow non-man-made succession and evolution.

In this way, the radical organism will change the Earth in ways that cannot be accurately predicted today because life cannot be planned.

Before We Leave on Nintendo Switch

I recently bought the game Before We Leave on Switch on sale, I know it is also available on PC, but I will review the Nintendo Switch version

It's a Sim City meets Anno type game, if you know what those games are. But without the violence. I didn't hate it at first. But the lack of action and the redundancy make this title get bored quickly. Too quickly I would say.

It's simple, there was a catastrophe, it's fashionable this kind of scenario at the beginning of this century

Our little people have taken refuge underground, now you will have to explore the surface again and it's up to you to do it first via an island and then by exploring the planet, see other planets and discover what led to all this.

I don't recommend this game per se, especially if you are an action fan, but if it's for rent or for sale and you like peaceful games, why not, it's not ugly, it's not without interest but don't expect hours of replayability

In the surroundings of 2008 our first Rabbit, named Lapinou, he was close to 10 years old, to develop an otitis, we say to ourselves an otitis there is nothing there and well in the rabbits, no, there is not nothing there.

It was an internal otitis, it starts suddenly, the head to lean side, immediately we tried to consult a veterinarian, it was during the vacations of the construction, one Friday, in short there was nobody available at the time in my city, Quebec, besides very few make small animals.

We had to make a trip to the University Veterinary Hospital (CHUV) of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Saint-Hyacinthe, in the middle of the night. The person is very correct, I have nothing to say about it

During the manipulation by the veterinarian we learn the verdicts, internal otitis, we pay an exorbitant first cost, but it was for the good of our animal.

After a few days at home, the head is still on its side, we are obliged to return to Quebec city, we have to pay for the examinations, the care and other expenses afterwards, they tell us that the damage is done, the otitis seems to be healed, but our rabbit with the head on its side also broke its leg during the manipulation of the local veterinary of Quebec city.

The vet told us that she has never saved an old rabbit from an ear infection and that it is almost impossible to cure at this age.

In short, it's euthanasia.

Instead of telling us from the start that it was almost impossible to cure, these nice idiots made us spend a pharaonic amount of money while making our animal suffer stupidly.

I have nothing against Saint-Hyacinthe who did their best, but the second veterinarian seeing that the situation was hopeless waited to pocket a sum of money before really caring about the fate of our animal.

This was just one of the many stories of a Scrooge-like vet.

Pupuce the guinea pig

Pupuce is a guinea pig that we received at the same time as Zippy, a small male.

Very wild by nature, she trusted me but not my husband, whom she tolerated at most.

That's why we kept her permanently at the shelter, not to cause her more stress and also because she was adorable of course.

She shared a good part of her life with Zoupette, but when Zoupette died, she didn't want to accept other guinea pigs.

She died suddenly, she was at that time our oldest at the shelter.

We received this little ball of fur at our shelter in 2018, a surplus of reproduction of another person which did not find taker because too much excited, he died during the period Covid. He was about 3 years old.

He was an adorable and very curious little hamster, besides we called him Fouini because in French here the small curious ones one calls them "Fouine".

Besides the photo shows well his curiosity, he had just arrived on this one.

We have them of very good moment with this hamster, age has finally caught up with him, it is always sad and sympathetic to remember these small rodents which certainly do not live decades but which brings much when they are there
