The apocalyptic style in 21st century environmentalism

By Filings on Mon, 01/20/20
Society & Culture
Environmentalism
Nihilism

“Religious cultures have often had deep strains of apocalyptic or millenarian sentiment, including the Christian and Jewish traditions, but the extreme forms of environmental apocalyptic today are rooted in the material and and are devoid of any sort of … eschatological aim such as the renewal of Creation or deriving some meaning out of final things. No, movements like Extinction Rebellion are simply pessimistic and nihilistic.” - Acton

There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword,
But the tongue of the wise brings healing.
