Capitalism: the root of all evil.
Is America truly a democracy?
Not!
We live in a capitalist society that is ran by the ruling elite. And we are their slaves.
Having been made addicted to consumerism by ritualistic brainwashing we have been made a nation of co-dependency. To borrow lines from a Rolling Stones song,
"A man comes on and tells me how white my shirts should be,
but he can't be a man because he doesn't smoke the same cigarettes as me"
So there it is there. And yes I'm saying it, slaves to the almighty dollar!
Plastics and processed food have taken the place of sustainable home practices such as sewing and gardening. people sit in front of TVs that feed consumerism with commercials aimed at convincing the viewer that a certain product will ease the arduous task of living. When in reality the viewer is not living at all, but merely absorbing instructions about what to consume.
The earths sustainability is groaning and depleting in agony as we sit idly by and allow those that profit from our plight to control us as well as rape and plunder our planet.
Occasionally some do-good group aimed at saving the planet or all of humanity for that matter will rear it's head in protest. But even that will soon come to be a thing of the past. Our gov. listens to our private conversations for a reason that is far from private.
We think we elect the people who have the final say. We even think that the general good of human kind will prevail and guide our elected officials. I say we think to much of those who stand to profit from the major corporations that are running the show. How can we trust elected officials who are allowed to accept campaign donations from special interest groups.
I listen to people complain about jobs being outsourced over seas. Yet those same people will buy goods from Walmart or any of the other stores that offer inferior products at a reduced price. These are plastic, cheaply assembled products that soon break or tear and contribute to the huge waste problem over crowding land fills.
Why continue to support capitalism.? Don't buy products that are made by slaves in third world countries or from slave labor anywhere. Spend a few more dollars and buy one good item instead of two cheap items.
It is simply a matter of 'supply and demand'. If we stop supporting economics that do not support us the problem will self rectify. As long as Americans shop from China they will be sold from China.
The hours spent sitting in front of TV are hours being brainwashed. First we are informed of a need. This can be in regard to all aspects of life. Things that would have never occurred to us are suddenly a matter of life and death. From this vantage point a solution to the posed dilemma is offered. One of the most serious examples would be the Mental Health Industry. It is estimated that in 2001 85 Billion dollars was spent on mental health. TV commercials tempt an otherwise healthy individual to seek medication to make them better than before they saw the add. It is well known that most of these drugs do not work and are far more dangerous than any add admits. But yet they continue to sell us cures for disorders that have no test to establish the existence of disorders in the first place.
Why? Because Big Pharma buys politicians.
Why do we have war? Because of the profits made by the makers of war machines. Believe it if war was not profitable there would be no war.
Where does all this money come from?
It comes from the population. Us! We are the problem. Submitting to capitalism by consuming inferior products by a population who's minimum wage is below $10.00 an hour.
Become an activist and be more selective. Stop trying to get something for nothing.
Make and grow our own. Shop local.
Stop feeding the machine!
