Warnings about climate change and its consequences have been issued since the 1980s. The oil giant Exxon knew about the negative effects of its industrial sector since the early 1970s through a self-commissioned study. What has politics done about this? They consequently paved the way for every step that contributed to accelerate and intensify the overexploitation of the planet! In view of the now unavoidable impacts, governments only felt obliged to address the issue through a steadily growing youth movement. Planned measures aim to be effective between 2030 and 2050, late enough to have no impact on the political or subsequent economic careers of the responsible politicians. Up to 70 years since knowledge was not only given away, but everything has worsened considerably. Instead of driving the cart head-on into the wall at 300 km/h, it is slowed down to 290 km/h. What a perversion of intentions!
Everywhere, authorities are oppressing their people more and more. In different manifestations, but unmistakable. First they give themselves as longed-for saviors and philanthropists, in order to get out the truncheons hidden behind their backs after a successful election. With servitude and one-sided redistributions they cover their country, only celebrated by the submissive followers who hope to profit from the advantages. But whoever sows violence reaps violence. Consciencelessly, the dreadful creature aggressiveness drives its ugly claws into society and feeds on the damage done. Why?
Although it is always being claimed that humans are tough – preferably testosterone-flooded individuals – at the end they are just biological organisms. Despite his domination preciousness, even the largest mouth ape must bow to this fact. Human nature is confronted with far more harmful influences than is good for her. However, we have abilities and possibilities to keep dangers away from us.
It happened in 1998, when the acting minister of the environment stated that she would not introduce a CO² tax. She trusted in the voluntary commitment of the industry, which promised a 3l car. Already at that time a reduction of CO² by 25 % until 2005 was decided and experts advised the tax. 21 years later it was announced from the ranks of the CDU that they did not want to rush to simple solutions. The perversion of intentions revealed itself in the name of the former minister: Angela Merkel.
Well-intentioned and badly done, that's one thing. Nothing meant and can be done, the other. While the first expresses independence, the second represents dependence. Control or be controlled. The perverse is now the twisting of activities, so that the unsuspecting are confused and lose control next to the overview.
With all the intelligence and the arrogance we have annexed with it, have we managed so far to define human value through work?
And because we cannot (want to) solve the self-created, smouldering conflicts in ourselves – for this we would have to acknowledge them – do we hold others responsible for them?
How pathetic. How pathetic. How narrow-minded.
Pant precious stupidly after the money, you don't understand range of humankind anyway.
The greed for profit of the economy is immoderate, which is why dishonest methods of increase have overtaken. On consumer side, greed for one's own overreaching turns off all reasonable action. Consumers know that alleged bargains are overpriced nonstarters. Despite this annoyance, they act as repeat offenders. This is why companies are not afraid of damaging their image. Already with the next offer all lie themselves again in the arms. Which, by the way, is a common behavior. Shameful.
Full of enthusiasm we fall for the created technology. Taken up by ourselves, every innovation arouses our fascination and is immediately appropriated without criticism. Feelings of addiction and dependence do not arise, because the use is subversively forced from outside. Without technology, participation in the current way of life is complicated and automatically puts you in an outsider position. This development is becoming more and more acute. Our penchant for comfort is too great to recognize dangers. In addition, they are talked down, faded out and, if necessary, suppressed under massive use of all available means. The primary goal of all efforts and the main component of every strategy is to prevent doubts from arising in the first place.
I don't know why I just stumbled across it now. But I'm very relieved that there were others who had a longing for a clone. Many people might want a well-functioning, easy-to-use, mature, proven and versatile blog system, as Wordpress used to be until version 5. It's very reassuring that some of the competent developers were also very much against the grain with the scrap that was now being offered, and they decided that a self-managed offshoot would be less painful than automatically surrendering itself to the gang of Wordpress developers.
All my blogs were converted within a few minutes. Without sperenzias or hidden complications. Only the precautionary intervention in the functions.php of the activated Theme weeks ago turned out to be a blockade. But if the functions were briefly commented out or deleted, the change went smoothly.
In the tendency of people to rise above others and use them to their own advantage up to the pain threshold, behavior of New Economy is neither surprising nor unexpected. In each one of us there is a tendency to slavery and to consider others worthless enough to take full control of them.
