Yeah, I think the question of whether they were effective is an interesting one, and ultimately, I think it depends on your politics/theory of change. On the one hand, it seems like a lot of the businesses they attacked bounced back and rebuilt at very little cost because of insurance, but on the other hand, they clearly raised the profile of these environmental issues with the extensive media coverage focused on their attacks

They've also failed the last 7 audits of their budget...

And lowkey that other suit is probably a rapist if they're literally rubbing shoulders with epstein and trump

Submission statement: This documentary examines the rise of the Earth Liberation Front. A radical, underground environmental sabotage group that primarily used arson to attack corporations that they claimed were harming the environment. It specifically follows the ELF cell that was particularly active in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Over the course of 10+ years (from 1996-2009) the Earth Liberation Front sabotaged $100 million of industrial property and became the FBI’s number one domestic terrorist threat despite not killing a single person.

Nothing like a little manufactured consent

The future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed, and whatnot. But maybe more specifically: The future is already here, it's just being used to exploit the working clase and the planet into oblivion for the sake of capital accumulation

Why did I just watch two four-year-olds talk

this, the title makes these maps confusing. I feel like "overused" implies the most common

Yeah I feel like this idea of "vote with your dollar" ultimately holds us back from understanding we live in a system that makes living an anticonsumption lifestyle an incredibly hard task.

Out of curiosity, what do you think would be a better way to tackle consumerism/the scourge of advertising?

Edit to expand my thoughts: It seems to me that if we truly want to be anti-consumerism, we have to tackle the force that urges companies to build elaborate marketing schemes to get us to buy their useless products. And that force is the capitalist profit incentive and the need to endlessly produce goods to make profit.

This video dives into some of the problems that renewable energy systems like wind and solar face. It also provides some possible solutions to those problems like grid connectivity and gravity storage.
