I'd be willing to do it for free, but sure, I'll take your money.
Oh well, there's plenty of space for all of ya here on the high seas, welcome aboard, mateys!
Always pound one out for Chuck, buckaroos.
The lie isn't even that capitalism benefits everyone, it's that capitalism benefits anyone. They can have all the billions and trillions they want, won't do them any good when the consequences come knocking and the world burns around us all.
Sure, it directs money towards alternatives, while doing absolutelyfucking nothing about actually reducing the harmful technologies. We may have more solar and wind (neither of which is perfect, nothing is), which is then used as propaganda to show "Oh, look at all the progress we're making!", while still mostly keeping oil and coal.
And, of course, everything is the fault of regular people, struggling to get by, companies are blameless.
We may not be quite there yet, be we're firmly going in that direction. An ever smaller number of gigantic corps owning ever more of... everything.
I’d rather have the climate crisis over the nuclear one, or either of the world wars, or live under a feudal system where I’m owned by the local lord in his castle.
Give it a couple of years, because the world is going to get a lot, lot worse than it currently is (which is already pretty bad, for folks around the world). The World Wars will be nothing in comparison, and at least a nuclear war would be a relatively fast end.
I'm usually not fond of the death penalty, but these are the kind of people it should be reserved for.
