If the ordinary workings of the world are going to lead to a mass extinction of ent, that means that future generations of humans will be a suffering in an erect biosphere. What's your responsibility to resist that? And if resistance takes violent forms, distinctions immediately can be made between violence property and uncivil resistance. So i would say my book, ministry for the future, is not a good instrument by which to think about these issues because it's just as messy as history itself.
