This is a transgression because we grant ourselves an absolute right that we do not have. This violence towards animals is a condemnation of us. Yet our relationship with animals could be an opportunity to think about a way of inhabiting the Earth that makes coexistence with other species possible.

He obtained his agrégation in 1935.<br/><br/>In 1945, he decided not to pursue an academic career and, ‘eager to live in the countryside, he obtained a position at a small teacher training college in the Pyrenean foothills, in Lescar, France, where he remained until his retirement’. (written by Daniel Cérézuelle, in ‘Ecology and Freedom: Bernard Charbonneau: Pioneer of Political Ecology’, Lyon, Parangon/Vs, coll. ‘après-développement’, 2006)<br/><br/>He viewed technical progress as the source of ever-increasing organisation, and therefore greater conformity, hence less freedom. He was a close friend of Jacques Ellul for six decades.<br/><br/>In his own words (in Combat nature no. 106, August 1994): <a href="https://lagrandemue.wordpress.com/2019/11/20/bio-graphie/">https://lagrandemue.wordpress.com/2019/11/20/bio-graphie/</a><br/><br/>#biography #postDevelopment #ecology #ecologists #environmentalism #environmentalists #Pyrenees #Charbonneau #BernardCharbonneau #JacquesEllul #Ellul 2025-08-16T15:49:06Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdnkz3gj38detc84v8rchlhlr8a6fp9ue0qh95a8htut0hqk8xvygzyryx9gqxwk45d8f0uzpdd7lqnyxq5xyrjkmra7a9vamx8s9hkfyfwg4glwm In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsr40j6hj9lj6hqewxc34rj52x6vt56hy7c6ptvpkw9hgxt5udqh9sjvet3p'>nevent1q…et3p</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>‘The people do not exercise power.

In it, they emphasize that the lobby is not a cabal or a conspiracy but simply a powerful interest group, like the National Rifle Association of America or the agrobusiness lobby.<br/><br/>“Since World War Two, the United States has been involved in every nook and cranny of the world, fighting wars here, there, and everywhere. And to do that, you need a very powerful administrative state that can help manage that foreign policy. But in the process, what happens is you get all of these high-level, middle-level, and low-level bureaucrats who become established in positions in the Pentagon, the State Department, and the intelligence community — you name it.

Israelis are colonial fighters and settlers, just like Afrikaners. They are tough and resilient. They know how to dominate. Jews are different. They are, among other qualities, gentle, non-physical, often passive, intellectual. So one can go on disliking Jews while admiring the Israelis.”<br/><br/>Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi, &#34;The Israeli Connection.

In Roman Law there are three basic rights related to possession: usus (the right to use), fructus (the right to enjoy the products of a property, for instance the fruit of a tree), and abusus (the right to damage or destroy). If one has only the first two rights, this is referred to as usufruct, and is not considered true possession under the law. The defining feature of true legal #property then, is that one has the option not taking care of it, or even destroying it at will.”<br/>― David #Graeber and David #Wengrow, in &#34;The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity&#34; #slavery #family #familia #sociology #anthropology #law #patriarchy #bioPower #reputation #honor 2023-01-22T21:26:00Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgskjqzhc8j07helrnwza2lr6estal48dnny9rv98td0qwg434cjgzyryx9gqxwk45d8f0uzpdd7lqnyxq5xyrjkmra7a9vamx8s9hkfyfwtzqf0v “...Slavery finds its origins in war. But everywhere we encounter it slavery is also, at first, a domestic institution.
