    Saw a tiktok Instagram about a kakapo once. The phrase lives rent-free in my head: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJt_wHSCfxW/

    Translated from german:

    The kakapo is the fluffiest mistake evolution never deleted. The stupid Kakapo. Everything about him screams: “I was never meant to survive”. He is fat, he can’t fly and he walks like an old stool with wheels build out of moss.

    In dangerous situations he just stands still. His survival instinct is “acting as if he im not there”. His biggest enemy? Everything! Cats, dogs, rats even time…

    Poor kakapo!





  • The problem is, and I’m pretty sure that’s the reason nothing will change, the problem is that people act like corporations have some kind of obligation to act morally. Then they are angry at apple, Microsoft, Monsanto and co.

    Corporations are a fucking tool, that try to maximize profit not more, not less.

    What everyone has forgotten is, that there should be people setting the rules and optimizing this tool for the best of the people. Instead we all accepted these neo liberal bullshit, where we allow corporations to influence the law. And, oh wonder, who would have thought, these fucking tools use their money and influence to maximize profit even though everyone but the stakeholder suffers from it.

    Renewable energy is an example, how in the world can someone prefer burning coal or oil instead of letting the wind turn a fan? But because big oil companies have a way to big part in creating those laws, we fuck the planet until it’s too late and when it’s too late, everyone will blame the tool for it. Which won’t change a fucking thing.

    Change my mind

    Capitalism is a tool to maximize profit. Whoever thought it was a good idea to let capitalism have influence on laws so that they can maximize its profit was a big fool.

    What do you expect? Capitalism, a tool, has by definition no morale. Let it decide politics to increase profit and you end up with that kind of shit society we have today.

    Don’t blame the hammer, when you hit your thumb. Also, don’t let the hammer decide where to make the biggest dent.

    Can we please start again focusing on the people? Without people there is no society, and there is no market to increase profits.

    Start using capitalism and free markets like a tool. Want more renewable and clean energy? Make rules and see the magic of capitalism in making the best out of it.

    Instead we let capitalism decide what should be done next and suffer the consequences. It’s as easy as that.

    Unfortunately capitalism not only create the rules, they also decide what is news and influence societies views. And that’s why OPs picture is as it is.

    Fuck socialism, am I right guys?!
