Some top “essentials” from China that will become more expensive. Maybe time to rethink what is and what isn’t truly essential? At least 7 out of 8 of these “products” isolate humans and ultimately dismember society #consumatrons #necrocapitalism #tsakraklides #capitalism #degrowth

There is so much that we, ordinary consumers, can do to both survive a world of impossibly inflated prices, as well as teach the brands who stole our democracy and social benefits a big lesson. This is not just about Elon #HandsOff #tsakraklides #capitalism

“The problem is not the 1%, but the 100%. It is ironic that a species which prides itself for its science, technology and rational thinking is incompetent of the simplest math: its overpopulation problem”

While ancient human sacrifices were committed in the altar of deities such as rain and fertility, the deity we worship today is capitalism. Rather than questioning this god, we have resorted to appeasing it by sacrificing nature and cutting our own limbs off.

Capitalism will always prefer to sacrifice humans than sacrifice profit and will opt for technological fantasies over long-lasting solutions. This economy would rather create fictional carbon trading markets which have been proven to be corrupt, than lower its carbon emissions

On a planet with 10 million species, well over a third of habitable land has been modified by just one: humans. This is not a civilisation. It's a type of infestation

Self-destruction is always an accelerating process. The more this civilisation damages its sanity, the more it will fail to register the damage it sustains #tsakraklides #collapse #anthropology

Our society exercises limitless imagination in what it creates, yet has little awareness of what it destroys
