Explicitly calls for property destruction.

Democrats have been going all-in to push their climate change agenda in Joe Biden’s trillions of dollars, boondoggle of a budget reconciliation bill.
We’ve seen a lot of extremism in the climate change movement.
But The New Yorker has just given oxygen to something that’s straight-up encouragement to commit violence — in the name of the environment — against property.
They asked the question, “Should the Climate Movement Embrace Sabotage?” as their headline, and then featured an interview with Andreas Malm about his book, “How to Blow Up a Pipeline.”
Explicitly calls for property destruction.

Malm is a climate activist and a lecturer at Lund University in Sweden. According to The New Yorker, he “studies the relationship between climate change and capitalism, insists that the environmental movement reconsider its roots in nonviolence.”
Malm told interviewer David Remnick he is recommending the movement “open up for property destruction.”
“I am in favor of destroying machines, property—not harming people. That’s a very important distinction.
Property can be destroyed in all manner of ways. Or it can be neutralized in a very gentle fashion, as when we deflated [the tires on] the SUVs or in a more spectacular fashion, as in potentially blowing up a pipeline that’s under construction.”
But hey, at least he isn’t in favor of kidnapping.
But he would “not recommend” kidnapping. Whew!

Malm spoke about doing “intelligent sabotage” against the fossil fuel industry. He described an example of what people could do, referencing what could become the world’s longest, electrically heated crude oil pipeline.
The pipeline involves a deal between Uganda and Tanzania and would run 1,440 kilometers, from western Uganda to the Indian Ocean in Tanzania. It would be done in partnership with the French oil company Total.
“If people in that region were to attack the construction equipment, blow up the pipeline before it’s completed. I would be all in favor of that,” Malm said. “I don’t see how that property damage could be considered morally illegitimate.”
Malm was asked if he was planning any such action, to which he responded if he were, he wouldn’t tell Remnick. Malm did say, however, that he, of course, would be part of such actions that he advocates in the book. “Anything else would be irresponsible,” he declared.
“The planet is on fire…it’s underwater with storms…yet people don’t rise up,” Malm raged. “Dogmatic commitment to nonviolence” is wrong, he argued. He cited the BLM riots — saying that was an integral part of the “uprising” that brought many people into the street.
Malm argued that the storming of the police precinct headquarters in Minneapolis was a “catalyst” for the movement. He argued that the violence helped the BLM movement. He fails to mention they burnt down the police station and that people were killed in the riots. And that it turned Americans against the BLM in the main (except for the radical Democrats).
So, exactly why is The New Yorker giving a huge platform to this person who is advocating criminal actions to further his political aims? They’re not just reporting on it; they’re actually asking the question: should one engage in “intelligent sabotage?” as though this is a rational choice. Apparently, violence and crime is okay — if it jibes with the political cause that you embrace.
For those keeping track at home, both the New Yorker and the New York Times are debating and soft endorsing terror acts against national pipelines in the name of climate. https://t.co/CglKa27Rk4

ATTN: @FBI
I'm pretty sure "sabotage" is still a crime and "How to blow up a pipeline" might be part of a "conspiracy" or being an "accessory".
Perhaps you've got some "informants" who might be able to infiltrate The @NewYorker or you might even consider some proactive steps. https://t.co/BQbaWDL1AT

As always, let’s picture the meltdown by media and Wray’s FBI if a pro-Trumper wrote this. https://t.co/EhwyrUevyf

Don’t expect pelousy to set up a 9/26 committee though
PS: I hope “the big guy” receives 10% ;>)
Kill a Commie for mommy was indeed wisdom.
Damn watermelon environmentalists.
Too bad the corrupt fbi won’t look into this...
He is being dishonest about the possibility of human death and injury. Of course, most of the casualties would be white guys or black and Latin class and race traitors, so who cares, right?
Will these sabotage methods work on Enviro-whacko meeting places?
Strictly for academic discussion...
when $120 trillion-plus is at stake, they elites will stop at nothing:
21 Dec 2020: PR Newswire: The Great Reset: Wall Street Undergoing A $120 Trillion Transformation
(from Oil Price)
Big money is turning its back on companies that aren’t conforming to one simple idea. Sustainability. And it’s fueling one of the biggest transfers of capital the world has ever seen...
In fact, within a year, 77% of institutional investors will stop buying into companies that aren’t, in some way, sustainable. And the new King of Wall Street is leading the charge.
BlackRock, with over $7 trillion in assets under management, says its clients will double their ESG investments in just five years. Money managers on the Street are saying climate change is their top concern, and a ‘leading criteria’ when determining where they put their money to work.
Sustainable assets already account for $17.1 trillion, but there could be as much as $120 trillion up for grabs...
Other companies betting big on the ESG boom:
Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) is one of the leaders in the Big Tech push to go green...
NextEra Energy (NEE) is another shining star in the renewable world. NextEra is the world’s leading producer of wind and solar energy, so it’s no surprise that it has received some love from the ‘millennial dollar.’...ETC

only Trump stood in their way...and that is why it took 4 years to exit the Paris Climate Accord (to stymie Trump), but only a month to re-enter. Biden re-joined on his first day, from memory, while cancelling Keystone at the same time.
if you don’t want a cashless/digital/electric future (what could go wrong??), you will do everything in your power to stop their agenda.
But you need to know by Friday?
It isn’t just this New Yorker article either. The talking heads make threats as do Democrats in Congress. Leftists aren’t hiding their communism any more and people need to pay attention to that. I saw an article about another example, ‘Liberal Soros Connected Group Sends Letter to FCC Calling to “Shoot Republicans”’, and you can give that a look at GatewayPundit. Prepare yourselves now because when the **** hits the fan you’ll be wishing you had. So destruction is the left’s game and we need to decide if we want to be their victims. 2A.
NaziPiglosi is busy trying to put people who walked single file through velvet rope lines at the Capital in prison while the 2020 BLM and ANTIFA thugs roam free after burning down buildings all across America. People lost their jobs and homes then! Nobody did January 6.
What is good for the capitalist goose is good for the communist gander.
Exactly.
Wonder the NYT would react if a group of conservatives were to meet with demolitions experts on how to bring down their building and meet with a group of hackers on how to destroy their electronic media services.
Gee you would think the FBI would investigate due to national security….🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This childishness goes back to 60’s yippies and whatnot. Only now with more soy.
Re: 8 - LOL. You gotta hand it to The New Yorker. Their readership is a demographic that will be affected by such acts of violence, as energy and other commodity prices increase. They are probably higher wage earners than the population as a whole and can absorb such increases, but now they can take comfort that the magazine they love to read is now openly discussing property destruction with an author who openly advocates it. And then drive him in their Mercedes crossovers! LOL (like Mercedes but not a fan of the crossovers).
It’s about as close to civil disobedience that many readers of The New Yorker will get.
I see ‘The New Yorker’ left out how to blow up the equipment of a Propaganda Media operation such as ‘The New Yorker’...for the children and stuff.
They already tried those tactics with the iron mines in northern Wisconsin. Didn’t work, but their political lobbing and fellow travelers did stop the mines (just processing very high iron content in the and deposits up there).
Fear not the FBI is on the case.
