I’ll use a few common wasteful, destructive tasks as example. Cutting trees, laying floors, and riding around in a vehicle.
1. Corporation X installs luxury floors. Corporation X founders do not want to do all that grueling, time consuming labor themselves. Founders find lower class people that need food, water, & shelter and offer them the bare minimum the state allows as compensation.
2. Lower class person finds basic needs accounted for plus an XBox and can now ride to work in ‘style’.
3. Corporation Y operates on the same premise but doesn’t install floors, they process the lumber.
4. Corporation Z operates on the same premise but doesn’t process the lumber, they rape the land for it.
5. Now there are three corporations that have a lot of lower/middle class people doing one task repetitively(cutting trees or laying floors in this case), providing them things their labor could never provide. They cannot walk outside, gather materials, and build an XBox. If they could, they probably wouldn’t be doing such a mindless thing as laying extra floors for wealthy people or destroying the place we all live just so they can live in excess. Being that humans in this society cannot exist without applying monetary value to things(!= means not equal to), look at it like this:
laying floors != heat + food + water + shelter + power + XBox + TV + computers + vacuum + pet food + hygiene + medications + vehicle + lawnmower + gas + oil + fast food + entertainment + all the parts, assembly processes, & ingredients
6. In our resource competition society, many others form their own competing corporations that undercut the other corporations. More things for less dollars. Consistently. The labor does not match the output and more importantly destroys quality of life for the individual while destroying resources. The law of conservation of mass is important here. There cannot be more than there was. Somehow though, the simpletons think that as long they do the manual labor for an authority, more resources are magically generated.
This is happening every single day. Right now. All kinds of garbage is being produced and constructed that is not necessary for existence, yet many on this planet are going without basic needs. This is not acceptable, yet the stupids are proud of it and defend it with their lives. Morpheus, Neo, the Woman In the Red Dress.
White Collar people don’t work for what they have either, most of which, again, is existentially unnecessary. So here in this corporate, nationalist shithole you call a ‘country’, you have a bunch of stupids proud to destroy ecosystems to provide wealthier stupids with luxuries, so those first stupids can have some snacks, too. How much life is fucked up on this planet for your daily cup of Dunkin’?
A constant, tiresome, junk cognition ‘argument’ I keep running into online with professed logicians is based on the fallacious premise equating minimizing impact using previously produced items with the production of new items daily. For example, I cut already fallen or dead trees with a handsaw. They use chainsaws, dozers, feller bunchers, etc. Someone made my handsaw in the 50’s. The machines these loggers use are from within the past decade and required astronomically more resources and time to construct and require exponentially more resources to operate. There is also no pollution from using a handsaw. The person operating those machines could not provide all the things required to do so while also providing food, potable water, Xboxes, etc for themselves and(as they love to pretend) others if they did their task all day, every day for the rest of their remedial lives. Earth’s resources don’t increase because factories and machines do the harvesting faster. Resources are not synergistic. The Law of Conservation of Mass is important here. I use secondhand things including cracked phone. I use no engines. I use ~21 gallons of water weekly including laundry by hand. I built an outhouse on top of a septic tank so no running water required. I ride bicycle by choice even though I have a license and could obtain a vehicle. Some of us value life, others only pretend to. Some of us are trapped by the system, others are proud of it. Blue Collar Doctrine is pervasive in this corporate society. It is essentially the slave becoming proud of his slavery and using any form of irrational thought(junk cognition) to attempt to justify it to self and peer. Sexual selection spreads the disease further. What does that mean? Simple. “She won’t have sex with me unless I go cut down trees every day with a chainsaw in order to rent a house, vehicle, etc!” Even if you own your home, you still rent it, just at a much lower rate. Call it Property Tax. Don’t pay, you get evicted. A male with house, car, and manual labor employment is more likely to find a woman in this society willing to take his lower class dick into her birth canal. Mindless slaves breed mindless slaves. They even plaster wealthy authority’s symbolism on their domiciles and machines.
Someone I know grows Christmas trees instead of food. The trees are not used for lumber or anything else but putting plastic and metal on for a few days, then getting tossed in a ditch. As I said in numerous writings previously, holidays are an economy boost for the wealthy getting the Blue Collar stupids to buy things they don’t need, trading trivial items with one another. Those trees do not physically provide everything they use and consume, no matter how many of them they harvest. Physical existence does not function based on your precious ‘conomy.
All State employees do negative labor. They couldn’t provide what they have and use daily, either. I challenge White Collar stupids on their exploitation of people, negative labor, etc as well the pride of their exploitees. I’m evenhanded with my criticisms of humans in this society. Individuals in groups like to hide behind the group when challenged and they have no refutation.
“Brent challenged me for killing so much small life, so he just hates laborers!”
“Brent challenged me for misandrist thought, so he just hates women!”
“Brent challenged our traffic extortion, gang behavior, xenophobia, and violence inflicted upon those we are supposed to protect, so he just hates police!”
“Brent challenged me for being submissive to wealthy masters, so he just hates black people!”
Are you starting to see the pattern, here? Stop your daily behaviors. They are socially & environmentally destructive, you deplete massive amounts of resource, you kill so much small life, and you are only providing a life of suffering for your children in the future. Don’t worry redneck, even though Earth constantly goes through geologic change and has had 5 mass extinctions, the whole climate thing is just a big ole globohomo hoax, right?
