Taking Everything for Granted
By Wallaby Poors
The elements of this world are not being respected. The continued evolution of nature is being attacked every day we wake. You can go to sleep knowing that somewhere else, the destruction of our planet is continuing. How many of us realise this?
If humanity is bursting its bubble (our planetary atmosphere) then we need to be sure that we have the right cause of this unsustainability. Most people on the planet barely have enough to survive. They are the majority of humanity who are not raping and pillaging the land for their share portfolio; not buying imported cocacola products at the expense of a local community’s water supply in India.
Many people pass judgement on humanity in general and let themselves off the hook, and if this idea gathers momentum, we are all doomed.
Our hope is now under attack. The belief that people generally will do the right thing has to be questioned. Is it ignorance, and mass manipulation of truth by the powers that be, or are the powers simply lucky that many people will keep quiet if their own lives appear relatively secure?
People in the “third world� don’t have the luxury of not caring. They don’t have air conditioners to hide from climate change. They don’t have super ginormous gas guzzlers to prevent their children from getting blisters on their feet.
You can’t hide in your climate friendly energised house when there are power shortages. People in the western world are vulnerable to climate change. Some may be able to pay to go to somewhere safe if they’re of the select few, but chances are you’re not.
Unless you rely on your own independent, renewable energy sources, you are reliant on a huge energy system that can be crashed by the force of nature, now encouraged by unprecedented climatic change.
In a cycle of injustice, it is still those that don’t have modern technology at their fingertips that suffer.
Climate change is expected to bear the brunt on many southern continent, tropical and island countries, so the world’s poorer people will disproportionately be more affected
No consideration is given to the millions of environmental refugees of the future. The western world is preoccupied with creating wars for oil and other resources, and strategic trade routes, and then imprisons people fleeing from war and extreme poverty.
While humanity’s industrial revolution war with the heavens is leading to a shaky and dangerous future, humanity is still at war with itself. Greed takes power and power stomps everything in greed’s way.
The corporate controllers of media communications use open class war and mind manipulation techniques. People interpret ancient religions the way that suits their plan for imperial domination and the killing of non-believers, and blame it on God’s will.
We all grow up with the beliefs of our families and societies surrounding us. However, Generation X was perhaps the first generation to really be born into an advertising mental environment blitz in an increasingly globalised, commercial, unethically profit driven world. Epitomised in the image of the 1980s. It is almost like a virtual reality convenience world, when considering its connection to nature, or recognising the land we walk on.
The powers that be manipulate what could be seen as flaws in the human psychology. People need to reclaim their natural bullshit detectors. Disconnect people so much, and tell them to hop skip and jump. Chances are they’ll be hopping before their asking why
Is apathy the logical step if life doesn’t come down to basic survival needs?. Apathy is such a privilege, and the enslaved aren’t waking up to the lack of privileges they really have, and their rapidly weakening rights.
Its not a dog eat dog world, it’s a human eat human world, and I know that most of us want to live in peace. Defending freedom doesn’t mean spying on people from different cultural backgrounds, it means supporting everyone’s freedom, and because they are threatened so much, especially coming to the support of people detained at Baxter Detention Centre
Is the psychology of humans such, that a hierarchical class system will always keep all the classed people under the thumb of the most powerful? Or is there a cultural bombardment of fear that has led to this predicament. Has it always occurred? It hurts more to believe that people, even when presented with enough information that change is needed, would simply choose to not care. Is this lack of empathy due to fear, xenophobia, brainwashing or just callousness?
In our saturated marketplace culture, and the far removed luxuries of the first world, a starving third world child becomes a mere concept, another sad statistic of a destined ‘globalised’ world that is best not to think about.
The excesses of capitalism don’t carry the cries of starving children. The trickle down effect of market economics doesn’t ever come into effect in reality, especially when ‘structural adjustments’ to the economy seal over the cracks in the trickle down of wealth to the poor.
Election campaigns, once fought in a more of a notionally democratic way, have become periods of big business propaganda over the mass media, with every major newspaper editorial written in support of the Government in spite of every reason why it deserves rejection, not support.
With the Australian continent and territories under the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth Government, if one is to vote in this illegal, illegitimate system, then their responsibility would be to consider the 4% of the Earth’s land mass under the (illegal but real) jurisdiction of the people they vote for.
Democracy is a broken and twisted wreck with no sign of recovery under the current system. It appears destined for a long term death. As much as ‘socialism’ was realised to be a fraud in the Soviet Union, so too has ‘democracy’ to people in both old and new democratic countries
We can either live in this fantasy and accept further fascism in every aspect of our lives or we can look for other possibilities
It appears the only way for change is if we all get to together outside of this system. We may feel bound to the system but we can work outside of it, around it, over it and under it.
There is lots of way to exploit the system. Peoples’ compassion needs to be empowered, and community solidarity needs to be built to actualise compassionate outcomes for the excluded.
There are Landless People’s Movements that are creating communally what they need to survive, especially on the South American continent.
These communities of people have no luxuries to hide behind, and cannot cut off from each other the way that first world people ‘luxuriously’ believe they can. They have to squat on land, often no longer wanted, such as contaminated industrialised sites, because they have nowhere else, and no one but each other.
It is perhaps these Land Movements overseas that can become living examples to those pushed to the impoverished fringe in the first world, and those fighting for justice and sustainability in the waste piling, first world enclaves where people are obsessed with the need for money and the want for more if it.
Is it not also the struggles of refugees, who have seen tragedy and war beset their homelands, which would inspire all people in local communities to work together for a more equitable and ecological future.
Wouldn’t it be good to become positively ANTI WAR, organising and joining in anti war protests, no matter what their scale and mainstream support.
Bringing the war, locally and globally, into the visual memories of people in your local community can break up the stunning inaction of ignoring the mistakes of history.
The continued effects of the imperialist war, called Australia, are still being counted and remembered. This imperialist war needs to be called off. Indigenous Cultures need to be respected. We would all benefit to acknowledge whose land we walk on
The choice to move toward a better planet is ours, but the clock is clicking closer to midnight
