Longwood Gardens, in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. Designed and constructed by the horticultural staff of Longwood Gardens. It's one of the premier horticultural display venues in the world, was first established as an arboretum in 1798 by Joshua and Samuel Peirce.

The land and its arboretum was purchased by Pierre S. du Pont in 1906 to preserve the trees, and Mr. du Pont personally oversaw many of the improvements until the Gardens were turned over to a foundation he set up in 1946. While the exterior gardens enjoyed an international notoriety early in this century, Longwood Gardens is now equally well known for its indoor displays.

Friendly reminder that Dupont [the company that knowingly poisoned the world] are a fucked up corporation that not enough people talk about. To Hell with them all.

Everything expressed in this scene, Dupont have been proven to be guilty of. There are something like 3500 legal cases against them, likely more.

Lawyer Ned McWillians claimed, “Next to global warming, this is the biggest environmental catastrophe to ever happen."

Chemistry behind Diving Suit

Neoprene, synthesized primarily from chloroprene, forms an elastic polymer through α-polymerization, known for its chemical stability and flexibility across a wide temperature range. In 1930, chemist Wallace Carothers pioneered its synthesis at DuPont, the same company where he later developed Nylon 66 in 1935. DuPont officially announced Neoprene in 1931, and it entered the market in 1937 as the first industrially produced synthetic rubber.

Today, it's widely used in everyday items like conveyor belts, mouse pads, and wetsuits for water activities. Since 2014, Neoprene has garnered attention from designers, gradually entering the fashion world and appearing in trendy clothing in recent years.

Around a handful of families have controlled the world’s resources for 200+ years. They’re incredibly rich, incredibly stupid, humongous cowards, and most of them are inbred, which is why they’ve had to resort to brainwashing you. Rothschild, Rockefeller, DuPont, Koch, Cargill, Sackler, Walton, Johnson, Mellon. What’re you gonna do about it?

“The system of the motorway, the social relation of the motorway, is left untouched by any attack on its specifics - untouched or is it reinvigorated? Does it bloom like the desert in places where fire and rain have visited. Anarchism against circulation is an ethics; it doesn't hurt the motorway even though it wants to. It doesn't hurt the motorway because it is just one response among many to present conditions, and it takes its place alongside all other theories and actions as an ideology - it exists as one strand in the strand of strands of commodified consciousness.

On the motorway, everything that can happen will happen, including dissent against the motorway. But we see now that achieving the heightened condition of dissent does not bestow upon the rebel a capacity to change anything, or even to escape the conditioning of the possible exits open to her/him. Saying "no" does not transport us to a place where we might make decisions separately from the world in which we live. I have met anarchists who live like ironside puritans and others of a deliberately decadent inclination, but whether you forbid or celebrate you do not touch capitalism itself. At every point it holds you in its palm - sometimes allowing a little more movement, sometimes gripping harder. Capitalism has facilitated democracy, fascism, state socialism, theocracy, militarism, human rights, religious revivals; it processes and transforms all social organisation into its social organisation. Every political aspiration is compatible with its productive relation. You propose the counter culture? Capital will commodify it, instigate it, reproduce it, and sell it. There is no outside of the loop.

The motorway cannot be undone either by ideas or practice. It cannot be undone. You think a million people like you could do the business? Well, where are they? If you haven't got them after two hundred years of agitation what makes you think they will turn up now or at some time in the future? And do you really think it possible that a million people can believe the same thing at the same time? How would you check they were really thinking what you thought and not hoping to get something else out of it: a Phd thesis, a promotion, a ministerial promo-tion, a groovy party, radical credibility, a new girlfriend? And if they did truly believe as you believe, if they downloaded your consciousness - by what mechanism would that change the world? Proposed democratic change works like magic, it has a misdirected relation to the movement of capital: if we all think the same thing then everything will come good. In reality, we know that agreement is both false and also not decisive on the mechanisms of power, which act automatically, independently of decision-making.

Why should large numbers of people be convinced by what one person claims more than the promises of any other? The internet is full of get rich quick schemes, anarchism is just one of them.

The easy anarchist answer is that it is not thoughts that change the world but acts. The fundamental flaw in political action is this: the more militant (and therefore true) the action is, the fewer people want to participate in it. The more unreal and fluffy, the more inclined they will be to turn up. Anarchists, being mostly young men, still have not learnt that only young men like to fight back on the streets, everyone else will find excuses not to be there. In directing campaigns, the choice for activists is stark, it is between numbers or ideological purity.

But even to say that rubs some up the wrong way; all discussion subverts the glory of acts. Apparently talking and thinking gets you nowhere because "there is no point in theory without action", as if the likes of Class War or RTS have ever got anywhere. How could Monsieur Dupont demonstrate its activities on the streets? How is anarchism demonstrated on the streets? It seems after all, that all deliberate interventions made by the pro-revolutionary minority are acts but what is really important is whether the proposed interventions either achieve, or are capable of achieving, what is claimed for them.” (p. 160 - 162)
