The more power you have, the more responsibility you have.
The tendency of unchecked power is always towards systems that exonerate those responsible from any of the negative aspects of the processes that provide their income. The fight for those who are not born into power is to maintain a good quality of life without becoming an 'externality' of someone else's profitable enterprise, and in so doing become literally eaten by the system.
So how do you tell who is responsible for what? I thought a lot about this then produced this image.
The more power you have, the more responsible you are. Beneath the top of the pyramid is most of society, either willingly or unknowingly profiting from the insane, predatory aspects of the world economy. To the bottom left is an ever growing group who are simultaneously resisting the dominant paradigm and building a new system entirely in the crumbling skeleton of the old one.
At the very bottom are those enslaved by the system, like wal mart employees or migrant undocumented laborors, and of course, the natural world like the soil, the trees, the water, the air, and the assorted animals who are either burdened or preyed upon.
These of course have no say in any of these affairs.
So when someone says this or that race, or 'the jews', is behind all of this, I either think they are cops or naive.
It's a simple matter of currency distribution and political rights that will in one way or another be balanced with the absolute amount of available resources on earth, the real one, not the imagined one.
The people of the world want a bill of rights, that is very expensive for those who call the shots on every major project in the world, who take it upon themselves to police the world for any movement of people capable of threatening them in any way. It is, of course, in their interest to make everyone feel guilty for every empty plastic bottle they discard, as it distracts from the giant empty plastic bottle factory and it's steady stream of profits.
The fundamental goal of someone who succeeds at capitalism is to have their 'money work for them.'
The poor are told, however, that it is their sloth and lack of work ethic that is to blame for their low wages and shabby treatment.
That if they don't work, they will not eat. While those who started their restaurant franchise can take 3-12 month vacations living off moderate monthly payouts from their preferred stock and options.
Each martini bought is bought then with 20 of those bottles that are discarded in the ocean. You may have bought twenty bottles that month, but he's had 20 martinis that month, unless it's new years, then it's going to be 40 or 50.
Who do you think has more responsibility for the pollution of the oceans?
Thus the second chart.
