A few words of Amazon & their CEO "donating" to climate change. Let's be clear on this, when Amazon don't pay tax they are defunding the state, defunding society. Society is in fact subsidizing them. So when they "donate" money to a cause it is in part out money. #FBPE
And it is our money that is being directed by a CEO of a big US corporation. Why is this significant? Because in a functioning democracy we as a society decide how our tax money is directed by electing governments that decide on spending. 2/
So normally.. society decides through the democratic process how it cares for and supports society, for example, providing welfare, supporting culture, sport, building roads etc. However we are moving to a malfunctioning democracy whereby business decides. 3/
This is one of the key aspects of Neo feudalism where new lords of mammon ( bankers & billionaires) run society for their benefit and decide on who gets help, which they call philanthropy, and frame it as charity, as "giving". In truth, it just directing our tax money... 4/
And this is the society they want. They don't believe in democracy and believe people should be given the illusion of democracy. The best way of controlling people is when they believe they're free. The concept of freedom is a useful tool of oppression.
And so it is that the boss of Amazon makes a big hurrah of "giving" some of our money to climate change. And we are all meant to thank him. Fellow disciples of capitalism will no doubt praise him, a public show of allegiance for future reward ... 6/
And of course we must remember this.. it is often the defunding of the state that create the need for charity, create the issues that supposedly those oh so self righteous CEOs will then proclaim they're solving ... 7/
Think about what happens in society's that are financially oppressed, what happens to environmental issues when you're struggling to eat, stay warm? Environmental initiatives?... we know the reality, they go to the bottom of the list ... /8
Of course this government doesn't give a fuck about environmental issues.. it is one of their reasons for leaving the EU to avoid environmental regs... and any other regs that might stop their mates from exploiting people.. 9/
"Our" money...
But to return to Amazon. Let us not be taken in by this bullshit narrative that they're doing anyone any favours. They are exploiting societies. They are defunding them, sucking out the wealth of the nation, exporting it to Luxembourg or the Caymans. /10
And then having the audacity to proclaim how generous they are about "funding" the solutions to problems they and their ideology have created. When it comes to the future of our global society they are not saviours...they are saboteurs. #FBPE 🙏✊️❤️✌🏼
We should note ... that all the extremists in this government... the corrupt criminals they usurped democracy to rig a referendum? They are capitalist fundamentalists... don't believe in democracy, don't care about society. Do not give a fuck.
