(85,373 posts)It's the abuse and misapplication of technology for Corporate gain. It's not even that a person will benefit from the pillaging of all that exists.
It's faceless, soulless Corporations, another misapplication of technology, in this case, financial technology, and legal technology, that is destroying the earth and the people on it, so that the Corporations can get bigger and more powerful. To what purpose? To destroy everything?
The non-profits may sit there and try to shame us individuals, guilt us, in the belief that we will change our individual choices, and everything will go right.
But it's the STRUCTURES: Government, Business and yes, Religion, that have turned rogue and destructive.
We the People must take down these rogue institutions, return our would-be Masters back into the Public Servants they are supposed to be. And we must either convert or incarcerate their human components, so that the People can thrive again.
Technology is what was supposed to give us the world of Star Trek. Do those quants and those geneticists at Monsanto know how they have betrayed the Present and the Future? Do those venal, grasping CongressCritters know how they have betrayed 300 years of patriots?
