First year students at the London School of Economics (LSE) are required to pick a compulsory course from three subjects of which the most popular is likely to be a waffle fest around transforming climate futures. The reading list for our weather-bothering future leaders looks rather exciting with a book edited by Jessie Kindig. This features essays on direct climate action including sabotage and eco-terrorism. The ground – and oil rig – breaking collection includes an introduction by Andreas Malm, whose 2022 book on how to blow up an oil pipeline discussed destroying industrial infrastructure rather than relying on peaceful lobbying and protest. Kindig also edited this odious if fantastical book and at the time said that “it’s immediately clear that destruction, sabotage and occupation are acts of love”.
This beauty went on to state that Malm’s writing “is always infused with a kind of hope, and that he shows us how militant action is, in fact, hope in its purest form”.
‘Hope not Hate’, to coin a hard Left mantra – one to go alongside ‘peaceful protest’ as nearby buildings are ablaze and ‘defund the police’ as looters run riot through the streets. For the Left, violence – except when committed by their opponents, naturally – is just an act of exquisite love.
Today’s students have been indoctrinated and brainwashed almost from birth with junk climate science and messaging that the world is on an unstoppable handcart to Hell. Why not feed them obscene texts that flirt with violence, destruction and terrorism. After all, why should they care about the rule of law when they have been told that they have no future anyway.
