- The
- fact
- that
- Climate
- Wars
- have
- commenced
- comes
- as
- little
- surprise
- in
- Cascadia
- –
- the
- bioregion
- containing
- British
- Columbia,
- Washington,
- Oregon,
- and
- adjacent
- territory
- –
- since
- calls
- for
- revolution
- have
- been
- simmering
- for
- years
- in
- this
- realm
- fiercely
- identified
- with
- environmental
- stewardship,
- self-sufficiency,
- and
- sustainability.
Sapphire
- MacKenzie,
- a
- leader
- of
- the
- Free
- Cascadia
- movement,
- recognizes
- corporations
- are
- ravaging
- the
- environment
- with
- the
- collusion
- of
- governments
- and
- only
- drastic
- measures
- can
- stop
- such
- globally
- destructive
- action.
- She
- advocates
- peaceful
- approaches
- to
- counter
- the
- dark
- forces
- before
- them,
- while
- Garfield
- “Garf”
- Taylor
- and
- his
- group
- of
- fanatics
- calling
- themselves
- “Representatives
- of
- Future
- Generations,”
- assert
- violent
- overthrow
- of
- the
- status
- quo
- as
- the
- only
- acceptable
- solution.
Another
- party
- to
- the
- necessity
- for
- revolution
- in
- Cascadia,
- however,
- believes
- the
- methodology
- of
- violence
- is
- not
- radical
- enough.
- Led
- by
- Chris
- Soles,
- who
- is
- already
- pursued
- by
- Empire,
- he
- espouses
- the
- rejection
- of
- the
- patriarchy
- through
- non-violence.
- Consequently,
- he
- promises
- to
- thwart
- Garf
- Taylor
- at
- every
- turn.
If
- the
- internal
- divisions
- within
- Cascadian
- insurgency
- weren’t
- enough,
- with
- the
- governments,
- corporate
- operatives,
- and
- agents
- –
- Empire
- –
- tightening
- the
- noose,
- it
- remains
- to
- be
- seen
- where
- the
- individuals
- involved
- and
- the
- causes
- they
- espouse
- will
- shake
- out
- in
- the end.
