2. Defenders of life and nature
As life itself is increasingly menaced by the cancerous growth of industrialism, the importance of those rare voices across the world alerting us to this threat becomes ever more acute.
In the USA, Jennifer Bilek warned on August 2, 2025: “A society that obscures biological sex through technology, pharmaceuticals, language, and legal changes risks undermining human reproduction.
“The gender industry, encompassing gender ideology and transgenderism, markets human reproductive systems as fragmented parts, aligning with advancements in reproductive technologies like surrogacy, IVF, sperm banks, egg harvesting, and genetic screening.
“These industries, already generating billions in revenue and poised for growth, pave the way for ectogenesis and multi-parent genetic configurations.
“The LGB movement, once rooted in civil rights, has evolved into a powerful force promoting a high-tech family model, detached from biological norms, and families as we currently understand them, through the addition of TQI+ and gender ideology (marketing).
“The struggle is not about ‘trans’ rights versus women’s rights or men versus women, but biological reproduction versus technological reproduction”.
In Italy, Silvia Guerini (pictured) wrote on August 5, 2025: “Gender ideology is a ramified system that modifies and reconfigures the perception of one’s body and reality.
“This ideology must be seen as part of the transhumanist advance, demolishing and reconfiguring the human being and life.
“It leads to dissociation from the body, the spirit, nature and reality. It leads to the dissolution of sexual roots, to artificial reproduction and genetic tinkering.
“It is part of the process of denying the human being as such, in preparation for genetic modification, brain implants, in vitro life and a laboratory world.
“It artificially reconfigures what will be considered man, woman, procreation, reality, nature, artifice, machine and human being.
“Bodies are inviolable and unavailable; they are not living laboratories in the hands of transhumanist and eugenicist technocrats”.
She remarked: “It is no coincidence that there has been an increase in requests for cryopreservation of eggs and sperm before embarking on the transition process.
“Those who wish to become parents in the future will only be able to do so by resorting to artificial reproduction centres”.
And in France, Renaud Garcia likewise warned in an interview in the July-August 2025 issue of La Décroissance print newspaper that the aim of industrialism was to “artificialize birth”.
He described how contemporary thinking has been deliberately shaped to shut down all criticism of the industrialist system, even in “environmentalist” circles.
There, he explained, it has become trendy to parrot academic Philippe Descola’s line that “nature does not exist”.
This is predicated on the notion that naming “nature” is a purely modern and Western notion.
But, argued Garcia, if nature does not exist, what are peasants in Africa or Asia doing when they live in the traditional way?
“They are not armed with a Western notion of nature, but they still live with that which is born, grows and dies”.
He added, crucially: “If nature does not exist, we lose the critical basis of all anti-industrialism”.
Another trick used by “left-wing” ideological agents of the system is to deliberately associate the term “nature” with a certain “right-wing” outlook attached to a rigid idea of a patriarchal and authoritarian “natural” social hierarchy.
The point of this manoeuvre is to disallow challenges to the industrial system’s threats to natural life, Garcia told La Décroissance.
“Criticism of artificial reproduction is seen as an attack on the rights of ‘reproductive minorities’”, he said. Dissidents are quickly labelled “fascists”, “reactionaries” or “transphobes” and their meetings cancelled or disrupted.
Garcia described this stifling of intellectual debate through vindictive smears and threats as “Stalinist”.
He has himself been on the receiving end of this treatment, as The Acorn can testify first-hand. But, like Bilek and Guerini, he remains determined to defend the real and the natural.
He concluded the interview by insisting: “Only the living life – and not the machine life that today serves as its substitute – is worth being led”.
