THIS is #Ecocide, ultimately responsible for which is our growth-dependent, grossly materialistic, mercenary, rapacious & DRIVEN global economy, which is inherently UNSUSTAINABLE on our finite, vulnerable & overpopulated planet, #SpaceshipEarth. Image
In 1975, #HerbertGruhl published his book, Ein Planet Wird Geplündert, in German (Engl. We are Plundering our Planet).

I'm a very slow reader in German, but didn't need to read the whole book or remember the details. Everything that needed to be said was contained in the title.
We are plundering our planet! Quite literally. And there is only one consequence this can have: suicide of the civilisation responsible.

Unfortunately, it is not just own civilisation that will fail & fall. It will take much of humanity & of our planet's biodiversity with it.
Why do the academics we look to as authorities on understanding society & civilisation fail to recognise this?

I started asking myself this question in the 1980s, & came up with the answer around 2008, which I have been trying to interest people (esp. academics) in ever since.
This is from another thread relating to #ClimateChange, for which our inherently unsustainable economy is also responsible:

#DavidAttenborough annoys me, because he's had an extremely privileged life at the expense of his own race & of our planet's biodiversity he has devoted much of his life to documenting.

He doesn't recognise this, of course, but means well, dissolving my annoyance into sadness. Image
Of course, he has hope for the future, because to recognise the truth would destroy his self-image as a fabulously successful individual.

The truth is that he & the White elite he belongs to have totally fucked up.
What does this have to do with Race (the fact that #DavidAttenborough is White), you ask?

Race is our largest kinship group, contempt for which lies at the heart of our civilisation's self-destructiveness. You can't truly care about anything, if you don't also care about that.

DIVERSITY is Orwellian newspeak for #RacialMixing, which is the exact opposite of #RacialPurity so strongly associated with the evils of Nazi racial ideology.

Any objections to DIVERSITY (or its creation through immigration) are, thus, deemed evil, or RACIST.
DIVERSITY is indeed, a strength, but only to #BigBrother & his minions, who use it as source of deceitful & spurious moral authority & an instrument of sociopolitical rewards, intimidation & control. Image

What to do about Britain, which is committed to a grossly materialistic, mercenary, rapacious, driven, & thus inherently unsustainable global economy, as well as to an ideology of White racial self-denial & self-contempt that will soon reduce Native Britons to a racial minority?
The first thing we need to do is to become aware of THIS, which is not so easy, because state & academic authority are in complete denial of it, which has to do with the very nature of the state itself. Image
Britain is an Orwellian construct, based on lies, deceit & a regime of rewards & intimidation. It's a mercenary #PatronState deceitfully posing as a nation, in order to legitimise itself, its ruling elites & the immense power they wield & abuse.

The #GreatReplacement & #WhiteSelfGenocide are NOT far-right conspiracy theories, as #Wikipedia, along with mainstream academia, politics & the media, would have us believe, but very real. The UK is reliably predicted to become a minority White country by about 2066.
This is a classic case of denial of reality, as is denial of the inherent non-sustainability, on our finite, vulnerable & overpopulated planet, of our growth-dependent, grossly materialistic, mercenary, rapacious & driven global economy.
When an individual denies reality, it may or may not cost them their life, but when a whole civilisation denies reality, it will inevitably lead to its demise.

The demise of our civilisation is fast approaching, which we can only hope to avoid by facing up to reality.

This was my response to a woman who describes herself as

"a thoughtful decent human being who recognises inherent prejudice".

#woke #antiracism #originalsin #prejudice #socialcontrol #DIVERSITY.
Many Native Britons left the British Isles for America, to escape tyranny of state, church &/or capital.

The tyranny of state, capital & now even the church (of #AntiRacism) has been reimposed on their descendants.

And the strange thing is, most don't seem to even notice.
The woman, @BoudicaThe, I was engaging with has now blocked me, which is a shame, but typical of those who share her ideology, which they make a moral virtue of: "I'm not engaging with bigots & racists!"

Here are screenshots of our exchange, as far as it got: ImageImage

#ClimateChange is just a SYMPTOM of our grow-dependent, grossly materialistic, mercenary, rapacious & DRIVEN global economy, which is inherently UNSUSTAINABLE on our finite, vulnerable & overpopulated planet, #SpaceshipEarth.

We were warned about this in the early 1970s, but what did economists (who are #SocialScientists!) do? They advised our leaders to put this very economy into super-global & turbo mode, thereby putting us on course for civilisational suicide, which is where we NOW are.
Annoyingly, the academics responsible for this are either already dead & gone, or living in retirement on their fat pensions & investments. For THEM it paid off - handsomely, but at the expense of #GretaThunberg & her generation, & all generations to come.
