Root Force: Demolishing Colonialism at it's Foundation

This week we speak with Toby and Ben, two organizers with Root Force about industrial civilization and organizing in solidarity with indigenous communities against the spread of capitalist infrastructure projects in Latin America. We talk about La Parota Dam in Mexico, Anillo Periférico Highway in El Salvador and Corridors of the Future across North America.

Speech and Gesture

" I’ll bet you can’t talk and keep your hands perfectly still. Maybe you can for a minute or so, while you really make an effort. But I bet you can’t decide, in the middle of a conversation to put your hands on your knees, or fold them in your lap and continue to participate, with your hands motionless. Even if you more or less succeed, your fingers will be twitching in protest, your shoulders might make little movements to coax your hands free. Maybe you’ll even wiggle your toes....

Reading Reading

"I’ve been reading a book about reading. It’s got my mind running in circles, so already its title is appropriate, Becoming Beside Ourselves. It’s by Brian Rotman, who makes a case that the habits of the alphabet, of reading and writing, have added such a wide collection of skills and rituals to Western culture and so influenced the post-natal development of the brain that we’re too immersed to be aware of how much alphabetic reading and writing are responsible for notions at the foundation of Western thought, like our concept of mind, and logic, and our ability to imagine what Rotman calls a “disembodied monobeing”...."

Bark at Nonsense

"...People don’t like to think about that stuff. It seems too much like it might already be happening, but the causes are so distant, it makes you feel powerless. So you don’t think about it. Which is what allows it to happen. Which is why everybody is always kind of depressed. Which makes it that much harder to find a way out of it all. Still, there are some things that you can do. And one of them is to bark at nonsense. Yes. Bark. Just do it. Everybody can bark. You just gotta get over the hump. Once you start barking it gets to be as natural as laughing....
