Out of control capitalism and profit at all cost has no shame or morals.
There could be mounds of dead bodies from climate change events and the rich would still argue about whether or not the world should do anything about it all.

Are you kidding? There’d be body mound disposal startups left and right! They’d be the monthly darling of Wall Street investors! A burgeoning new market ripe for profit!
Capitalist profiteers never fail to exploit the damage they do and further capitalize on the externalities they create.
"Hey you know that K-12 System we lobbied to have defunded until it crumbled into dust to lower taxes on rich capitalists like us that send our kids to private schools so fuck ya’ll despite us profiting off a publically funded, pre-literate workforce?
Can we interest you in some Charter Schools that take public funds and convert them into charter management company private profits? We promise only to profit a lil’ bit you fucking suckers!"
The capitalists will never stop until they are physically, forcibly stopped. Whether that comes in the form of dying people that finally have nothing left to lose and only vengeance to gain, or the very air the capitalists breath choking their lungs from their own fine work.
They know they’re destroying us. That’s why they’re so eager to get off this planet to be the owners of the only COMPANY STORE in existence on a new one, despite the glaring technological hurdles they think they can bluster and bribe their way past because “NO” is a dirty word to them unless they’re the ones saying it.
When I was on school I didn’t understand the quote of that one native American, that said we borrow the planet from our children.
That’s actually a powerful quote. Yet so many seem to look after exactly one thing: gain more money at any cost.
This downward spiral is hard to take for me. But I try my best to do the right thing as much as I am able to. But I’m also limited.
the great
menpeople tried to think of how their actions would affect the next 7 generationsthe great turtle island was tamed by 1491 and made wild again in 1492
7 generations. Everything we do should be with the understanding of what it will do for 7 generations later.
The adults in the room can not see the problem anymore, as they only see the profits. It makes them blind. The child does not see herself on a yard, drinking Champaign exploiting nature for wealth. The Sheiks do. They are literally too corrupted to see the reality. Braindead and blinded by greed.
They’ve taken the elephant in the room, had a greedy snake eat it and pretend it is a hat.
dude doesn’t look impressed either:
😒
12 is old enough to comprehend that your future is fucked and no one is helping you.
If she sees 70 years old, every day will be a struggle. Existence will be miserable. The earth will be fucked. She won’t ever know a world where the rules apply to her. At all.
She won’t ever know a world where the rules apply to her. At all.
Oh don’t worry, whatever fascist dictators run the USA, UK, etc by then will have plenty of rules for her to follow, alas.
I’m talking about the rules of prosperity, happiness, progress, the american dream. Education, housing, food – the bare essentials will be beyond her reach.
The pain in her voice made me cry uncontrollably, what a powerful video. I hope we have a future, not just for us and our children’s sake but also so people like her can have their legacy imprinted on the victor’s side of history.
