We, the Web Kids.
(translated by Marta Szreder)
There is probably no other word that would be as overused in the media discourse as ‘generation’. I once tried to count the ‘generations’ that have been proclaimed in the past ten years, since the well-known article about the so-called ‘Generation Nothing’; I believe there were as many as twelve. They all had one thing in common: they only existed on paper. Reality never provided us with a single tangible, meaningful, unforgettable impulse, the common experience of which would forever distinguish us from the previous generations. We had been looking for it, but instead the groundbreaking change came unnoticed, along with cable TV, mobile phones, and, most of all, Internet access. It is only today that we can fully comprehend how much has changed during the past fifteen years.
We, the Web kids; we, who have grown up with the Internet and on the Internet, are a generation who meet the criteria for the term in

This is an excerpt of "The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism" by Emmanuel Goldstein, the 'book within a Book' from George Orwell's 1984), with some edits and ommissions.

The primary aim of modern warfare is to use up the products of the machine without raising the general standard of living. Ever since the end of the nineteenth century, the problem of what to do with the surplus of consumption goods has been latent in industrial society. In the early twentieth century, the vision of future society was unbelievably rich, leisured, orderly, and efficient -- a glittering antiseptic world of glass and steel and snow-white concrete. If the machine were used deliberately for that end, hunger, overwork, dirt, illiteracy, and disease could be eliminated within a few generations. And in fact, without being used for any such purpose, but by a sort of automatic process -- by producing wealth which it was sometimes impossible not to distribute -- the machine did raise the living standards of many.

A plan for de-industrializing the world

The problem

Climate scientists are using increasingly apocalyptic language to tell us that we’re hurtling towards planetary disaster. We should have be carbon negative-- sequestering carbon. Obviously, we are many years from being even carbon neutral, much less carbon negative. So the question is not ‘are things going to get worse’ but rather, ‘how much worse are we going to let it become?’

The growing consensus is that we need to take immediate, drastic measures to counteract climate change. One of those measures has to be addressing one of the greatest causes of greenhouse gas emissions: our monstrously wasteful lifestyles.

However, when someone crashed into my car, my insurance company said they wouldn't pay to replace 2 doors and an engine part; instead, it’s better to let it rust away and buy a whole new car (and release ~30,000 tons of CO2 in the process). When my IKEA lamp chord broke, I didn’t have the knowledge or tools to repair it m
