we are killing our planet
we are killing each other
it's so dumb
people are fighting each other
people are hurting each other
all because we are afraid of losing our jobs or our homes
i live in the united states
a large percent of the population are working as a gestapo military force, enforcing the rules and regulations of the ruling elites : major corporations and their wealthy share holders
i am being oppressed by this
lots of people are being oppressed by this
it's so crazy to think it ... far crazier to write it but yolo i guess
it's so crazy for me to acknowledge that I am really sitting here writing this
i remember when i was just a kid ... most would say a young adult, but a 20 year old ....
my attention was focused on chasing girls and sports
i was soooo ignorant
ignorant of the world
ignorant of the banking system
ignorant of my country
ignorant of our world
no one taught me these things
no one taught me my country is broke
no one taught me you could buy politicians
no one taught me that corporations actually made all of the new laws
no one taught me that our food was grown from ... not with, but from oil
no one taught me any of these things
are we just supposed to find this shit out on our own
I remember the day when I learned like 50% of the women in our country have been raped before
like what the fuck, we just rape half of the women and people are somehow ok with that
i remember when i learned some of the children growing up in our country, cant, by the time they are 18 do arithmetic
i met this kid who couldn't understand what 3/4 was
like what! and the thing is, he wasn't dumb ... he literally just didn't know
i remember when i learned that people get killed for trying to protect the environment
like errbody knows about jesus, and fuggin joan of ark and shit
but in like south america, and the philippiness people will go out into the forest to try and stop deforestation and they just get murdered
for a FUGGIN tree dude, like holy shit ...
and we're ok with this
i dont know dude ...this shit just got too wild for me.
like one day, i was probably watching cnn or something ... and it was like, yup ... bp spilled 10 billion gallons of oil into the gulf .... again.
like what!? you stilll doing that?!?
shit is just wild dude
history is dangerous
and we 're like ...
ya.
we're like
we're like ... still here somehow
did you know that shit is actually getting better ... well kind of
and... (ps this is only some european countries ... but overall we're doing much better at murder)
idk dude.
what the fuck do you think?
like thats what i'm really trying to understand
how is no one else losing their shit about this?
i literally don't get it...
but ya
from one perspective we're almost finished murdering each other.
like if you look at the graph, we're doing pretty good.. should be done in the next hundred years or so.
we have patagonia too.
patagonia is pretty fucking cool tbh ... (tried to get a job there once and they didn't hire me -- but we cool)
they literally ran an ad telling people to stop buying their shit ... and we fuccing loved it btw ... like i gaurantee that ad ran digits for their bottom line ... but still
they have this thing where all of the money they make literally gets used to protect the environment
literally every single cent ... big up patagonia
we have this kid in africa who was tired not having electricty in his village so he built a fuggin windmill
kid was like -- yoooo this shit wack, lemme take responsiiblity for the electrical grid in my entire fugging village
i live in atlanta
lemme tell you about atlanta
we haven't had streets without potholes since the 1900's
like im pretty sure if we just excavated the old cobblestone streets they'd be in better shape than what we have
what if we just literally went and paved all the potholes
it couldn't be that much
it'd take a while ... but it's possible i think.
if we got like 15 % of the population to throw in 20 bucks a week
we could start like a freelance job board ... random as people could snap a photo / location whenever they ran over a pot hole.. someone could show up, see a tag and be like ... "I got that"
pull up with one of them bags of liquid cement, fill that shit and snap a photo and then bag $35.
i'd fill a pothole for $35... but that's against the point
the point is ... we literally don't have to do this ... like the only reason, and i know im hating on corporations rn ... but no lie yall are kinda the problem, the only reason they exist is because we keep giving them money
it's so simple ... people will be hating on fast fashion and then be like ... imma just swing by target real quick becuz in eeeedd this ne wtop
comeon yall
it's not that willd ...
stop buying dumb shit .... take that time ... find a company who is at least trying to do things ethically, spend a little mroe and then just buy shit like half the time
it will be ok, i htink
we do have to exert some effort ... no one is going to save the world for us .... but bruh...
that's all
