The science on climate change has been clear for a very long time now.

In this lyrical manifesto, noted climate scholar (and saboteur of SUV tires and coal mines) Andreas Malm makes an impassioned call for the climate movement to escalate its tactics in the face of ecological collapse.

Every facet of American life is being overtaken by big platform monopolists like Facebook, Google, and Bayer (which has merged with the former agricultural giant Monsanto), resulting in a greater concentration of wealth and power than we've seen since the Gilded Age. They are evolving into political entities that often have more influence than the actual government, bending state and federal legislatures to their will and even creating arbitration courts that circumvent the US justice system.

Die “Letzte Generation” stört. Überall, ständig und mit immer neuen Aktionen. Sie blockiert den Verkehr, klebt sich an Gemälde, dreht Pipelines ab, beschmiert Gebäude von Ministerien, Denkmäler und Luxus-Geschäfte. Bei ihren Blockaden schlägt ihnen dafür Ablehnung und Gewalt entgegen, Politiker*innen kritisieren sie. Ihre Forderungen geraten oft in den Hintergrund. Die “Letzte Generation” rückt dafür in den Mittelpunkt der Debatte um Verantwortung und Klima. Aber wer sind die Menschen unter den Warnwesten? Wieso riskieren sie so viel für ihren Aktivismus?
