Earth isnt a machine, we cant just fix it like a broken machine. Earth is a body with a fever due to CO2 intoxication. We need to let Earth lash itself back into wellbeing, without our invasive engripments.

Yeah, we need to stop framing this as overconsumption and instead frame it as overproduction.

The producers decides to push fartstuff onto us, which in itself creates artificial demand. At the same time they manipulate us through advertisements, movies and media to lust more for the superficial.

We need to remember to not hate the players, but hate the game. It's the game that got us here, not the players.

Withdraw your support for the system.

Delusional, just insane.

Technology will not save us, but guillotines will.

Withdraw your support for the system, stop voting, become anarchists, cultivate local communities rather than global communities.

The reason I emphasize language is because we oftentimes lack the remediating words that we need.

Elon got his wealth is because we gave it to him. We gave it to him by accepting our roles as consumers, voters, and grippers.

Instead we need to find remediating roles. Roles that has action, attitudes and spreadability that causes remediation.

A role can be a degripper. One who strives to remove one's own grip, guiding others to degrip themselves and do action to degrip griphoarders.

Generally though, by using words that shifts our focus away from consumerism, towards nature, our peers and blossoming, we degrip. An example of this would be to integrate natural elements into our language. For example in norwegian, instead of "mastery", I say "blossoming", or instead of saying "rich in colors", I would say "bloom in colors". Or being aware of the species around us and pointing them out for our peers.

The sickness of Earth requires us to become more radical. Because when we see that the system is unable to regulate itself to take care of Earth, it shows that the system doesnt work. The foundations has to change. The discussion has to be, how did the system lead us here? And how can we rebuild society from a healthy foundation?

Being radical is necessary.

But we are not radical in our language. Even those who conciders themselves radicals are very conservative with their word usage.

In particular, we keep on using words from academia, capitalism and classical left wing think tanks. The communist will talk about the borgoisie and proletariat - The climate activists will talk about co2 footprint, the consumer and overconsumption - The academia frames everything in terms of problems and solutions.

We need to examine the words we use, and allow ourselves to relight our language towards a remediated language. Where we stop being part of the machine, and start being part of the global networks of life in Earth.

Because without the willingness of changing your language, you show unwillingness to be the change you want to see.

In this spirit, I have made the thinktank oakism. Founded on 5 frames.

Cohold ٨٨ - To help those who needs it. Allmen ٨ - Let humans be in center of power, not grippers. Degrip 🪰 - To prevent grip. Nurture 🌻 To grow ourselves and our peers. Colife 🐝 To live with, not against nature and our peers.

Oakism is an approach to remediate Earth. To concisely pinpoint attitudes that remediates, and also makes it very visual. Because humans has easier to grasp words when they are visual.

As an anarchist, I wouldnt think this is a remediation. To move grip from one holder to another would still cause concentration of power. Id suggest that we instead shape our languages to limit grip as much as possible. Degrip is remediation.

To have wealth is soulcrushing because it removes you from your peers and a sense of community. We loose our ability to nurture ourselves.

Loose your grip, and allow yourself to blossom with your peers.

Hoarding isn't only bad for society, but also for oneself.

We must withdraw our support of governments and capital. We must revitalize our communities, and withdraw our grips so that life can reestablish.

Engineers arent healing Earth. We heal Earth by: · withdrawing our grip, · practicing coliving with nature and our peers, · nurturing ourselves and our surroundings, · give a helping hand to those in need, · bringing power to people, not grippers.
