The Industrial System is inherently adversarial: it treats those who are harmed who bring attention to the harm as adversaries.

The Industrial System is inherently adversarial: it treats those who are harmed by the Industrial System, those who bring attention to the harm, in order to stop the harm, as adversaries. 

The custodial sentences imposed on Insulate Britain activists for contempt of court are clearly a contempt of our collective welfare. In the same way that Shell's move from Holland to England is. In both cases, those who drew attention to harm and suggested ways to prevent the harm are being treated as adversaries.

Another way to put it is like this: political power struggles undermine healthy governance - adversarial dynamics inhibit co-operative dynamics. Any relationship that has a power struggle within it is toxic.

Industrial political Power is inherently adversarial in that it is profitable only because its foundation for wealth extraction is created by externalising costs.

Those who bear the pain of the costs and bring attention to that pain, and those costs, are considered as adversaries.

When those who are harmed find a voice and become advocates to confront the harm causation, with an eye to stopping the harms, the industrial cult treats them as enemies to be crushed. 
This is a reactionary stance - the cult wishes to preserve the extraction of wealth above all else, and will attack anyone who questions the morality or wisdom of extracting wealth at such a cost. 
It will co-opt anyone who proposes solutions in order to deflect real change.

The Industrial system is also adversarial and manipulative in that it imposes poverty in order to make low wage work seem more attractive, in order to maximise profit taking.

Low wages has nothing to do with skill level - it is a devaluation of human time in favour of institutionalised profit taking. 
Every hour of every persons life has equal life value.

Slavery is about the economics of wealth extraction - maximum profit efficiency - in the first place, In the British and European colonies Racism was invented in order to justify slavery, after the fact.

Politics is the struggle for power - healthy governance is all about co-operation and de-escalation of emergent conflicts. These two are in eternal conflict with each other. The resistance of those who seek to dominate is what maintains the need to struggle for healthy governance.

If that resistance was dropped, the power struggle would cease, and healthy governance would prevail.

This is the central problem of climate change, air pollution, poverty as an economic lever, war as a tool of policy - the resistance to healthy governance is the problem we need to address, collectively.

We desperately need healthy governance, and to attain that, as electorates, as voters and as citizens we need to reject these struggles for power and dominance because these struggles are wasting precious time, (time we will not be able to reclaim) when it comes to dealing with the impacts of climate changing environmental damaging polluting behaviour.

What climate change and the SARSCOV2 virus tells us is that we are in this together.
