resistance is fertile


are we being sucked into green-consumerism? feel you aren't really helping the Earth unless you spend your income on Earth friendly products from “environmentally conscious” companies? does the green-left convince you that you can rescue this beautiful land by trading in environmentally-unfriendly corporations, vehicles, energy, food, factories, and house cleaning products for environmentally-friendly ones?

i'm not sure this is the way. i see some big problems in big cities because we've got a lot of sheeple. perhaps this is just my distrust of how capitalism works?

i think big companies care about capital, what’s going to make them money; and that is to exploit the consumer’s wants and desires. want to save the planet kids? moms and dads, save your children's future! buy this! it's easy, you hand over the money and you feel better.

corporations are still corporations, mass production is still mass production, industrial agriculture is still industrial agriculture, greenhouse gas emissions are still green house gas emissions, worker and animal exploitation is still worker and animal exploitation. are not a lot of oil, natural resoures, land, being used to produce eco-friendly products? how do we get around that? i'm thinking the only reasonable answer to the problem is keep up research in artificial intelligence and let the robots take over the world. then it's all their problem, and humanity will live in small bands of resistance at the earth's core where it's still warm, worrying more about our survival than blogging about eco-friendly products.
