#FridaysForFuture:
4500 climate strikes in over 100 countries. Several million protesters demand that governments around the World “take action” on the devastating environmental impacts of climate change.
Many of the climate activists point to the destructive impacts of global capitalism on their lives.
“Capitalism = death (or extinction)”.
“Cancel Capitalism.”
People’s lives are destroyed. Politicians are coopted by the corporate giants including Big Oil. The economic, environmental and social structures are undermined. The outcome is a process of Worldwide impoverishment.
The oil giants were indelibly under fire. In New York City, climate activists confronted “Big Oil”:
“ExxonKnew: Make Them Pay” outside a meeting of fossil fuel CEOs and government representatives at the Morgan Library and Museum, just blocks away from the U.N. Climate Summit in New York.

It’s amazing how the corporations and financial institutions succeed in infiltrating and hijacking our efforts to transition to a more sustainable future.

I find it all very sad, Rosaliene.

I’m glad my ally, Rosaliene Bacchus, has read and commented. Yes, there’s a problem with a poisoned and devitalized planet, but the issue has been trivialized to a simple scenario, in order to sell expensive band-aid solutions. The problem goes much deeper than CO2 emissions from fossil fuels and has to do with the arrogance of top-down “leadership,” which is leading us all over a cliff as fast as it can get away with it. I think the “sustainable” solutions will come from the bottom up, through individuals and communities with inspiration, drive, and contagious ideas.
It’s happening now, and blogs like this one, and Rosaliene’s, are giving it momentum.

Eventually, if there is an eventually, Earthians are going to find that maintaining national governments a luxury and a danger to themselves they can no longer maintain and stop putting energy in that corrupt and sold-out sector of society. Then they will realize that their long-gone forebears had it right after all and they will no longer look for some sort of global totalitarian (even if claimed to be benevolent) rule and will fall back on living to, and with, the land, back to small, sustainable communities trading among themselves without the official violence that is part and parcel of groups (dis)organized under a central government made up of fleas, rats, vampires, hogs and feral dogs-I think that about covers some type of national government. In other words, eventually people should come to their senses. At things stand we’re about as far away from living by our common sense as is possible without all jumping as one over the proverbial cliff.

Sha’Tara, the only reason I can see to set up a national government is to support a standing army (according to anthropologists the reason they started appointing kings was to go to war against neighboring tribes). As a woman, I see absolutely no reason for that kind of nonsense. To quote Leonard Cohen, “Bring on the matriarchy.”

Before the matriarchy can come in, everything that has any connection to the patriarchy is going to have to go. That means, civilization as we know it. For the future of earth, there is nothing redeemable about man’s current global “enterprise.” It’s anti-life corruption is utter and complete.

Indeed, Katherine. Here in New Plymouth we’re working really hard on helping people build community to facilitate a downshift in their lifestyles while the supposedly Green-Labour government is trying to shove a fossil fuel driven hydrogen plant with carbon capture technology down our throats.
