It seems to me that the cumulative effect of corporations across the world is undeniably bad. Our species is experiencing a slow death and all the while we are being told, "shhhhhhh, it's ok, just let go, don't fight it, it has to be this way, you don't understand, don't look there look here, play with this, trust me, trust us, sleep."
We continue to make war upon each other in all manner of unspeakable ways and for highly dubious reasons. We destroy each other economically until a grotesque distribution of global wealth results. We ravage and contaminate our own environment and bodies with absolute abandon and no consideration to the true consequences. We maintain a festering asymmetric distribution of information which enables us to lie to each other in more and more abominable ways.
I am not proud to call myself human. I am not proud of the legacy we leave our children and our children's children. Our mistakes are damaging generations further and further into the future. What is it that allows us to tolerate the injustice and abuse that we all see going on around us every single day? How can we stand to swallow another soporific lie from those once trusted to tell the truth?
I have a lot of questions and I'm sad to say, very few answers. All I know is that we have to stop believing the lies and bother to find the truth. We have to bear witness to and help those who've been chewed up and spit out by the greedy corporate maw. We have to stop allowing ourselves to be fooled into thinking that making war upon each other will result in anything other than mutual destruction. We have to support networks, platforms, companies and people that reveal, preserve, aggregate and tell the truth.
