Lol it’s gonna take a lot more than “reigning in corporate capitalism”. Let’s be honest, it’s going to take completely restructuring human society. Capitalism will either have to be abolished somehow or it’ll kill us, period.
There’s no form of capitalism that will fix this. Anyone who insists otherwise is reiterating Technocrat propaganda.
The “Kiss the Ground” documentary addresses this, humans really are only gonna incorporate systematic changes with the carrot-stick method, and for now anyway money is that carrot. But I agree, capitalism needs to die, but that can’t happen unless it becomes possible to live in a world of so much abundance that wanting what someone else has becomes a redundant concept. Can’t steal what would be freely given. Priorities need to return to focusing in the health of community versus this every man for himself ideology. My culture once saw our communities as fully operational bodies where everyone had a function and none went unfed, in a time when caretaking the whole, each individual and our environment, meant more than individual life. Being selfish is a concept that war operates on, and it will only ever be a destructive force, thinking of others wether motivated by money or food will always create cohesion in our relationship as a species with this planet. Not war and the taking from others.
Check out the “Kiss the Ground” documentary. Sustainable farming with soil health in mind by creating compost seems to be the answer, the global temperature map was motivating enough for me to do what I can. Reestablishing a semblance of balance in our relationship with our planet is the best any of us can do, and if we all take tiny steps the cumulative benefits will be evident given enough time.
It’s been brought up before, but “mitigated” or “adapted for” are more realistic terms to use than the absolute and unrealistic “countered”. Let’s not water down the initial two parts calling for action and alarm by trying to sell a happy solution.
