It is exactly the kind of ideology that builds planetkilling plagiarism machines, terrororises innocents, gladly wrecks nature, and considers abandoning Earth and everyone on it a Worthy thing.

This is an old, old war. Only this time, as Klein & Taylor point out, the entire planet is at stake. /End

For, as vicious as it is self-fulfilling, the horrific binary is fundamentally Life-hating.

It loathes humanity and human creativity. It exists in terror of anything Earth-bound and of the body. It is an ideology that is blind to Earth's beauty and disdainful of its breathtaking diversity. 12/13

That binary is a global problem. Its underlying hopelessness needs adressing, meaning genuine results.

There is a way, as Klein & Taylor agree: By insisting on the future that is possible. By refusing to be sidelined by the poverty of imagination "secular Rapture"-ideologues try to enforce. 11/13

It's refreshing how Klein & Taylor take the Christian-imperial rapaciousness at the heart of the techbro-1%er "secular Rapture" ideology to task, considering how we're collectively witnessing just how the Chosen/Worthless binary unleashes the cruelty & destruction needed for imperial expansion 10/13

The hopelessness is integral to the greed.

Those who have hope, who are willing to change (never mind the inconvenience, exhaustion and heartbreak), those who have faith in a good life on Earth For All do not deal in despair. They deal in life now, not death + hopefully-something-better after 9/13
