RE: Made to last, days gone by!
It is endless consumerism in a planet with finite resources, we do not have infinite sources, and with the amount of things we bury, old electronics, nuclear radiation used oil, we are contaminating our own back yard, it has to end one day, or there will be nothing left to consume.
Our intelligence and collective activity is limitless, new deposits and materials are found like silicon or coltan, as well as new uses, once people accumulated paper or coal and now they're just to light the barbecue, if we generate or discover a procedure to spend half, you have the double of resources, and so potentially, although the Indian saying is true and money can not be eaten, I believe that the greatest evil we suffer is the state and all its consequences.
I beg to differ, the greatest evil we suffer in giving faith to paper money, and governments, when every person should be their own governance, no man or woman should force another human being to pay tax, to supprt those that print fiat money, it makes little sense, and add in police, who tax people via fines, and the whole corrupt law system, and we find ourselves here, in this reality now, not what can be, what IS.
Are you a anarchist? I believe there's a lot of stuff in government we definitely don't need but protection isn't one of them. Do you think people could live securely in their residence if there wasn't any threat of law enforcement? Could we even walk down the street safely?
Yes I suppose I am, and it is proven that private security is 200 - 400% more effective than law enforcement, as they do not tax people with fines, they act as a deterrent rather than a rule by force.
With ever expanding government, we will all end up working for them the way it is heading.
Did you know in Scotland there is a state snooper for every child born? If they do not like the way you are bringing up your child the state takes the child off you, you are not allowed to know who the snooper is also, and children in government care systems are 150% more likely to be sexually abused or die before reaching 16, to me that is a criminal offense, and a sign of government out of control.
Can we do it now? safety is an illusion, in the past we rely on family and friends, now to the state where you are not an individual anymore, making us just another number, do not expect them to give much for you.
But all that is imposed through states and demoncracy, from schools to the media...
Indeed, how is Catalonia getting along with it's independence attempt now?
More of the same, leaving a state to make another, again the same trap is there, they could do something with that by location and infrastructure, but it has not been cut already for convenience, now here people are ceasing to be left, right or whatever, to be for or against '' Spain'' and feeling have more impact than reason, binarization works well.
Nationalistic or no-nationalistic then? I thought they had dreams of being totally independent, I guess that went out the window due to lack of EU support if they did go independent.
Yeah, that are the spectrums basically, one side says spain is stealing us and the other side says this is spain territory, the UE politics is another of the factors without a doubt, as the belief in any state legitimacy, people have accepted it as an entity that has the right to take life and property, what I can't understand is how they say they respect the self-determination of peoples, human rights, so on and so forth and people still believing.
So the fight was for nothing, all those people getting beaten down by police for peaceful protests was for zero. Such a shame.
