Well, I love the idea of guerrilla gardening, but I’ve always been put off by the ongoing maintenance and logistics of squatting a specific patch of wild abandonment. Sideways baseball caps off to anyone with the staying power to do it, but I already struggle to keep on top of my medium sized garden.
I don’t want to piss on anyone’s parade, I really don’t. But watching the protests by the climate revolutionaries Extinction Rebellion, I feel uneasy. It's not their methods. I know that direct action and street politics work; after all, I have done very similar protests and street action. The uneasiness here is the hierarchy of worthiness.
