Against Civilization

We believe the institution of civilization, with its cities, agriculture, and technology, is the basis of the most destructive cultures. To face the full impact of civilization requires acknowledging that it is inherently oppressive and destructive. Cities demand the importation of resources, which are ultimately obtained through violence. Agriculture takes more than it gives to the land, turning diverse ecosystems into monocultures and living soil to desert. Technology requires exploitation of the natural world and condenses power into fewer and fewer hands. Industrial civilization in particular, with its machinery, engines, and oil-based production, has further accelerated the speed of the devastation. We draw on environmentalism, feminism, deep ecology, spirituality, anarchy, indigenous lifeways, anti-oppression politics, peak oil and collapse theories, and past struggles for justice for our analysis and our inspiration. We are open to challenging our thinking and ourselves. We recognize that though the dominant culture threatens us all, it also gives privileges to some at the expense of others, and whether industrial culture continues or is stopped, the impact on people will differ.

These alpine animals travel and live comfortably at high altitude rugged terrain, and as a community or herd support one another. The BGC remains true to the name by creating a community or support network to introduce WWU students to others who share a passion for climbing. Similar to Billy Goats, climbers ten to travel in a herd because a climber generally needs a climbing partner to safely and successfully complete a climb. The BGC’s intent to is to act as a hub and create a network of new students to meet fellow climbers and also assist students who are newly introduced into the recreation of climbing by supplying mentors.
