How to Blow Up a Pipeline is a great book exploring this concept. Why is destruction of private property even considered violence, and why is private property more protected than vulnerable populations? Why does the average person, not owning private property, even consider this dynamic?
I’ve heard of this book. It’s on a long list of things to read for me. I feel like I have to have this same conversation every time there’s a protest somewhere in the world where property gets damaged. That tired line of “I don’t understand why these people destroy their own city.” as if any of us own anything involved. It’s such an annoying thing that we are brainwashed to think this way. Like yeah, it’s my city, but if want to plant flowers in it, i can’t. If i want to plant crops in it, I can’t. If I want to decorate it, I can’t. If I want to have say in how it’s used and developed, I mostly can’t. So who’s is it again?
