interconnected... all life has inherent value independent of its resource to human utility diversity of life supports this value and we have no right to reduce it beyond vital need the flourishing of all life on Earth requires human consumption be put in check we are too many with interference in excess so our policies must be revised to take affect the change is an appreciation of life quality this is not the same as a standard of living a profound difference between big and great do you want a paradigm of suicide or of sharing growth-driven disregard for physical reality or participation in a network engage responsibility more than adjusted lifestyle more than new technology alternative conception of what constitutes living interconnected ...do you want a paradigm of suicide or of sharing

destruction of the Earth exists proportionately to our estrangement from it a culture of extraction thrives on our ecological and social disconnections revolution without reorientation can only result in different expression of the same evils reconnection is wrench in the gears of domination knowing the land is resistance knowing each other is resistance collaboration is wrench in the gears of domination knowing the land is resistance knowing each other is resistance confronting our alienation developing an ecological vision collapse of the capitalist paradigm is necessary for balance between ourselves and the biotic community compassion is wrench in the gears of domination knowing the land is resistance knowing each other is resistance we do not save what we do not love and we do not love what we do not know

water we can drink and air we can breathe we will not accept the trade of poverty for poison water we can drink and soil that sustains ecology cannot submit to economy hydraulic fracturing for oil toxic radioactive injection wells frack waste barges on the Ohio River to violate environment for fleeting profit water we can drink and air we can breathe we will not accept the trade of poverty for poison water we can drink and soil that sustains ecology cannot submit to economy NO ...a single act of defiance is worth more than a thousand angry words

Bite Back! 01:54
kick down the door sabotage destroy each cage to liberate with a focused rage I'll risk my own human freedom tonight we gotta bite back smash the walls of silence direct action to end vivisection drag atrocities from shadows of taboo and law's protection capital hemorrhage is still an awesome mercy to sociopathic torturers and their careers to render compassion a myth of yesterday every day direct action is being used to save lives every day even today the power is ours to bite back cut through the fence guerrilla destroy each cage to liberate tear apart this nightmarish disgrace to modern science smash the walls of silence direct action to end vivisection drag atrocities from shadows of taboo and law's protection anthropocentric attitudes will only change through education we don't want a more humane slavery no we want abolition since no one is truly free until we all are don't wait to be invited... every day even today people just like you are the Animal Liberation Front

no compromise this Earth for all must not be jeopardized the tactics of direct action range from education to obstruction from civil disobedience to confrontation born from an understanding that institutions which benefit from exploitation will not undermine themselves or restrict their own capacity for world-crippling profit unmediated action is the most reasonable approach when laws exist to protect beneficiaries of ecological degradation when protest and appeal fail to neutralize confirmed threats to the natural environment we must share in good health for any species' survival... legal risks demand you know damn well what you're fighting for no system or economy can outweigh a life seek responsible decisions unlike the corporations with diversity of tactics we're united against eco-holocaust ...or I guess you could just sign a couple more online petitions you could even memorize the words to this punk song and feel a cathartic sense that you are actively resisting some death machine or you could commit yourself to Earth Liberation a commitment for each of us that takes unique form growing reverence for life eclipses past apathies collective energy governed by a radical love when fear is the norm, love is radical action executed with immaculate strategy can dismantle industries end ecocide

cowardice asks the question is it safe expediency asks the question is it polite vanity asks the question is it popular but conscience asks the question is it right talk minus action equals zero a bookshelf of zines don't make no hero we each have a role in fighting back assess your strengths for maximum impact not limited by if it's safe and I assure you I don't care if it's polite nevermind the games dictating if it's popular your conscience asks the question is it right the commodification of life is a disgrace to the moral mind an animal is not your property and the value of a life is not measured by money

vast landscapes of essential forest are leveled every year for unsustainable expansion of agriculture and industry causing climate change, habitat loss, countless extinctions, soil degradation with Eden before it and destined for desert this industrial machine knows no limits in its terminal pillaging sawing off the branch we're sitting on denying the horrors of the Anthropocene sedated until the last tree is slashed down distracted while the last river is dammed our collective violence exported to margins privileged ignorance apathetic to the facts well-lit homes powered by magic? no by a fucking mountain cut in half but our fate is bound up with this Earth's so live your life like life has worth

Sober Fight 02:51
to every anarchist kid young or younger to the straight edge to every radiant deviant engaging radical sobriety to the notion that our world's animal earth human defense only excels uncompromised our decided minds for victory not always just a means of surviving past vices freedom is not a trophy, it is a tool, sometimes a weapon conviction against the glorified crutch of intoxication resist an overindulgence in distraction and self-sabotage this religion of defeat won't engulf me I've got clarity weak hearts cower in my contrast to take life raw towards a less fucked up world... when police are at the door getting rabid with no warrant a sharp mind can deflect cops I'm not some drunk in jail downtown and when someone I love is drugged at a show I'll be sober to protect them and I'll hunt the fucking problem down can't live year after year forfeiting memories survival cannot be synonymous with a plague disguised as fashion and while our Earth is in the grip of any force of oppression I will be sober to fight for total liberation to every anarchist kid young or younger to the straight edge to every radiant deviant engaging radical sobriety to the notion that our world's animal earth human defense only excels uncompromised our decided paths in solidarity
