Tom Bremer<p>I arrive in predawn darkness to venture into the Fernhill Wetlands preserve. My eyes glance upward to the nighttime sky already graying in the east. The moon pushes night toward the western horizon, fleeing the advent of morning light. My ears catch the dim hum of traffic hanging at the edges of quiet.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/wetlands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wetlands</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/birdwatching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>birdwatching</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/flowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>flowers</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/sunrises" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sunrises</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/sunsets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sunsets</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/rainbows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rainbows</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/clouds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>clouds</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/mountains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mountains</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/lakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lakes</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Oregon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Oregon</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/industrialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>industrialism</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/landscapephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>landscapephotography</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/naturephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>naturephotography</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/photoessay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photoessay</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.sacredwonderland.us/fernhill-wetlands/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">sacredwonderland.us/fernhill-w</span><span class="invisible">etlands/</span></a></p>

Arend (they)<p>Miyazaki was right, in Future Boy Conan, to criticize not just <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>capitalism</span></a>, but <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/industrialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>industrialism</span></a> entirely. Capitalism may be destroying the world, but one of its main weapons is industrialism, as we know it. We need <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>degrowth</span></a>.</p><p>This is partly why Engels misses so badly in his essay On Authority: his most developed argument for the necessity of authoritarianism rides on the notion that industry requires it (and he still fails to convincingly argue this).</p><p><a href="https://musicians.today/tags/anticapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anticapitalism</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/marxism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>marxism</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anarchism</span></a></p>
