I pray it results in reducing the number of elites and their wealth instead.
They're joined at the hip with us. They need us to consume and make them money. That's why they created the take-make-waste model of the economy; to ensure a constant revenue stream at the expense of the planet.
It's why companies like Apple strive to keep their devices from being repairable. They don't want you to hand down your iPhone 11 to another family member after putting a new battery in it. They want you all to line up at the Verizon store and buy a brand-new iPhone 13 and toss the iPhone 11 in the trash.
Every year, mining companies excavate billions and billions of tons of ore.
Every year, people pay billions of dollars to Silicon Valley R&D companies, so those companies can secure contracts with suppliers in China that hire teenage girls to work sixteen hours a day for pennies on the dollar on an assembly line, making our tech gadgets while passing out from exhaustion over a moving conveyor belt and/or being felt up by the foreman.
Then, those goods are stuffed into shipping containers and placed on giant container ships burning literally hundreds of millions of tons of bunker fuel, before being trucked from the port to your local Best Buy, so our 300-pound American asses can deepthroat a fucking waffle cone in our left hand while fondling a $1000 iMasturbator in our right. Then, a year or two later, we throw that shit away and buy another. This is the business model. This is how tech companies and their executives and shareholders make their money.
Then, these greedy motherfuckers all fly to Davos on their private jets so they can congratulate each other and jerk each other off for another year of successfully raping the planet with their constellation of mines and sweatshops, and plotting together on how to shove "environmental responsibility" off onto the lower classes.
And now, as the final insult, after looting the planet for decades, these sons of bitches want to own every last scrap of property, all the farmland, everything, so nobody has any assets that generate wealth independently from the predatory, sociopathic Overclass. After seizing all our property and engaging in degrowth and depopulation, these rentier-class parasite thugs want free men and women to become serfs, owning no property, living in pod hotels and eating bugs, renting every single thing we use, and obediently creating wealth for our employers. The rich don't plan on having their living standards decline one bit. They're not giving up their yachts, or their mansions, or their T-bone steaks. No. They want to have everything. They want it all.
How are people not furious?
