There’s a constant pounding, menacing everything we cherish. A mean ugliness rages through the streets. And it will turn the world into an unprecedented Mordor if we will not challenge its violent constant whispers of greed:
— Live trees? Don't count!
— Dead trees? 🤑
— Healthy lungs? Don't exist! No product, no exploitable need..
— Black lungs? 🤑
— Smiling people? Worthless!
— Addicted sad needy people? 🤑
— Botox in their faces? 🤑
— Godly Mountains? Nothing there.
— Natural monuments? A roughness.. bah...
— Dark mine pits! 🤑 Exploit and consume! 🤑 Until it's all they'll know! 🤑
— Until they can only consider it a sign, a virtual coin,... A number that we all agree to believe in, because the herd decided it has a price, although it has no actual value or worth.. you can't eat or breath money and it doesn't keep you from loneliness, but who cares, MONEY!!! 🤑
— Inflate the pie that is economy AND PLUNDER! 🤑
— Who cares how that pie tastes, as long as my piece gets bigger.🤑
— Sad and bored of this system? You need more spending power! 🤑 More products! 🤑 More needs! 🤑 May your dreams be nothing but more stuff 🤑 and more exclusive sh*t brands 🤑. Aspire to nothing but the decadent luxurious lifestyle of the richest! 🤑
🤮
People are awesome.. This imposed religion that agressively herds us, is not. We're all caught up in it, steered by its popes and high priests: the owners of big pieces of pie: media magnates, oil sheiks, corrupt leaders, spoiled brats, gambling investors and alienated tycoons who live in their separate worlds of golf terrains and yachts, yet they decide over ours.
All these evil shepherds want is to see their share to the tasteless pie grow, who cares if all the world has to burn for it.
They're selling the air that we breath, selling the ground from underneath our feet, all to people who are not even in need. The world is privatized, exploited and sold away for immediate consumption. Burnt up in the hearth of the rich and famous who are not even home.
Society doesn't have the 'money' to safeguard our future, to invest in our own. But society does have money for 10.000's of individuals to throw wealth away on useless showoff cars. Decadence and ignorance nowadays are considered the highest virtues. We're told these attitudes are needed to run the economy which feeds us, but they forget to tell that it now poisons us.
The Converse Basin Grove in an orgy of destruction (1892-1918). The integral clearcutting of the world's second largest oldgrowth sequoia grove — 8.000 trees were felled, the soil eroded and never would anything grow on these hills again — provided the market shortly with useless cardboard wood. The whole destruction-enterprise proved to be loss-making.
True, economic growth once meant progress. Once it helped in our precious survival. But now it means turning life into death. Future into coins. Care into cruelty. Leadership into corruption. Collective qualities into private quantities. Culture into expensive packages. Homes into containers. Cooperation into parasitism. And security into gambles.
A healthy world, healthy family, healthy friends... It's increasingly sold out to people who have nothing to do with them.. The system is devouring our very means of long-term survival. Nature is degraded. Yet it's not "Oh pathetic weak nature. It needs a pamper.." It does whatever whenever with all the patience in the world. It's poor us, spoiling paradise and burning home. We're destroying this humanfriendly version of nature, while some freaks promote grim gray futures on dusty planets.
Cleopatra was closer to now than she was to the building of the pyramids of Gizeh, 2.000 years prior. Times are changing fast.
Will humanity still last another two thousand years just like that?
We fixed this. The Ozon Layer. Stopped destroying it. Crisis averted. Bam! What we can do when no short-term private interests are in the way.. Crazy!
It's not what we are inspired to do by increasingly commercialised arts, media and even kids television shows. All we're supposed to do is live in living rooms, come out to produce in the week and consume in the weekend, crisscrossing our cars all over the place. Ease, ignorance and individualism are deified.
Coming from a place that clogs your mind like a public toilet, I know all the billionaires. Society's heroes. Science is called fake news while their media force-feeds us staged fights and other bullcr*p.
And I have no clue when you would ask me about Rachel Carson, Ken Saro-Wiwa, Mbaye Diagne (not the 1000x more famous footballer), Wangari Maathai, Binalakshmi Nepram, Sunitha Krishnan, Nicholas Winton, Harriet Tubman and Robert Bilott.
We don't need Black Friday and fast fashion. We don't need gold-eating botox-billionaires. And we don't settle for the eternal winter they have us heading towards.
No matter how hard they push, within us there is something stronger, something better, going to push right back. And we'll find an invincible summer.
