@peterrelph If it keeps moving after humans has passed on, for all intents and purposes, it’s a perpetual motion machine, as the intent behind any machine is it’s usefulness to humans. Which, may sound anthropocentric. But without anthro, what use for machines?
Capitalism is little more than an ideological hangover produced from a time long past when low hanging fruit was everywhere for the taking and people thought it would never disappear.
The fruit is gone, folks. If we ever want it back, capitalism won’t take us there.
@Air_Quotes_Comedian Thick because were all sitting around like sheep headed to the slaughter going baaad baaaad baaaaad without doing a thing about it.
Who thinks that when the economy seriously goes upside down and their assets are worth less than their debts on the assets(which it will soon enough due to Energy cost of Energy and no good oil replacement), people are just going to watch as the bank takes their homes from them?
Hmmm? Would you just watch yourself get put on the street?
There's a reason it's called the "thin blue line." It's fucking thin.
Perhaps we should start calling all us proles the #ThickAngryLine
@trabex Few people really understand the cause of the Great Depression. It was kicked off by a spike in coal prices, wherein the cost of extracting it became more than it was worth.
Oil hadn't come on line yet. We had a war that killed over 60 million people. Then, oil came on line domestically after we figured out how to fuel our militaries with it. Boom times for a while. The boom is obviously over.
There's nothing waiting in the wings to replace it.
I’m beginning to get the distinct impression that leftists who care about the environment enough to do actually get off their ass and do something about it are a miniscule minority.
Most seem more interested in virtue signaling their love for humanity while we fill our nest so full of shit our children drown in a boiling vat of it.
And honestly, I think the IDPOL cancel culture just has a lot of people too scared to speak out for fear of being labeled an eco-fascist.
It’s crazy.
There won’t be any people to love in a decade or two if we don’t get our environmental shit together. And it is going to hit the marginalized groups the hardest, first.
We don’t have the luxury of choosing our battles anymore people. We ALL have to be #Class warriors. We ALL have to be #SocialJustice Warriors. And, we ALL have to be #EnvironmentalWarriors
