whether you believe it or not, corporations are the dominant force

36. It is not anti-capitalism to wish to retain a stable biosphere.

Heck, I consider myself a capitalist. I just don't consider our current system as something Adam Smith would lay claim to or support. I don't think it is capitalism, I think it is a corptocracy. Inverted socialism.

But I digress. Destroying the source of your capital is not a good way of running a business.

The investors care only about the money. The corporations are doing all they can to ensure the investors get the only thing they care about. Up to and including the end of life as we know it on this planet.

Seriously, no hyperbole needed.
The end of life as we know it.

Care about not tanking the economy? Sure, but only so there is no hiccup in the cash infusions from individuals unburdened by things like a moral compass.

They literally don't even care they are making the planet inhospitable to the very ecosystems and wildlife that have taken eons to evolve here.
Day in and day out they clock in and are humble servants in the gaze of those who not only do nothing of value but do all they can to ensure the truth is buried, that lipstick is applied heavily to the pig and that the thievery and willful destruction will continue until it cannot.

Corporate supporters don't care. About democracy, about minorities, about the environment, about the sick, about war machines, unless they can turn a profit off them.

All of our scientists tell us we are creating a hell for our children. This isn't hyperbole. So few of us are trying to give them a better future, so many are assuring they won't have any.
