I’ve been a fan since the days of Black Flag in the early 80s

A film by Franklin Lopez (available among other great stuff at subMedia.tv)
END:CIV examines our culture’s addiction to systematic violence and environmental exploitation, and probes the resulting epidemic of poisoned landscapes and shell-shocked nations. Based in part on Endgame, the best-selling book by Derrick Jensen, END:CIV asks: “If your homeland was invaded by aliens who cut down the forests, poisoned the water and air, and contaminated the food supply, would you resist?”

I’m a professional economist and have for many years found many parallels between psychology and economics in how unscientific we are and, much worse, what tools we are in serving the powers that be. I think this documentary neglects the role of our economic system in promoting both the unethical (in that it is predatory on others) pursuit of profit & power, as well as undermining societies so that individuals are ground down to the point of insanity.

Who are the terrorists?!
