There is a dichotomy of thought in the world, and in many of our own minds, about the future.
On one hand is the notion of a futuristic space travel hover car world. Asimov and Roddenberry et al may be to blame but we perpetuate it.
On the other hand is the ominous eventuality of climate change and climate disaster.
Together they equal dystopia.
The futuristic imaginings can only eventuate as Climate Disaster.
All of the raw material needed and the energy required to Build such a Musk/ Bezos future can only be created by capitalist Polluting dystopian fascists of our nightmares. Make no mistake, this is the truth. It is happening right now under our noses while we all dream of the future of floating cars and missions to mars like silly girls dreaming of princes in our pink ruffled bedrooms.
All of the ugly landscapes in all the futuristic science fiction movies and novels already exist and will only continue to grow until there is nothing left. The refugee and prison camps of displaced and policed people Exist all over the world and they continue to grow: Turkey, China, United States, Kashmir, Philippines, Lebanon, India, Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia(a mix of countries with either detainment or refugee camps)... the current number of displaced persons is now 70.8 million worldwide. The highest number ever. That is fucking astronomical. The number of Detained persons in this country is over 350,000. In China it's over a million; look up Uyghrs. Turkey has over 3 million Syrian refugees.
So, listen to me... You Have to come to terms with this nonsense fairytale of a futuristic world of floating cars and magical fingertip easy controls and flying into space to meet aliens. It cant happen without the total toxic pollution destruction of our oceans and entire planet and the murder of millions and the police state violent detention and mind control enslavement of 90% of the population. It is Happening Right Now.
You have to ERASE the white privelege concepts of space travel and smart homes from your minds right now because that shit is sending us straight to hell.
Mass production and computers in every room and cell phones and missions to Mars eat up Energy and resources. Energy is made with fossil fuels and Nuclear power. Burning fossil fuels is destroying the Air, destroying the oceans, polluting the land and causing climate disaster. Nuclear power is Dangerous and is currently killing sealife in the pacific and Arctic ocean due to accidents in Japan and Russia. Resources are ores and minerals Ores are mined. Mines are filthy toxic pollution sites. Toxic Pollution is destroying the Earth and causing climate disaster, there by killing us all.
Just because a bunch of wealthy priveleged white aristocrats wanted to get richer at the turn of the century and made investments in Oil, Steel, Manufacturing and Shipping Does NOT Mean that it was Ever a Good Idea. It was Never a Good Idea. There are dozens of toxic metals being mined and smelted! Shipping is Filthy. It is toxic from the manufacture of steel to building of ships to use of oil to power ships to oil spills to death of sea life to polluting of waters to polluting of ports to mistreatment and displacement of indigenous people... Oil is the same list plus oil spills and devastation of wildlife, wilderness and coral reefs. Manufacturing is the pinnacle, inclusive of all the Big 3 polluters plus the incalculable devastation of the entire planet due to Waste including the biggest threat, Plastic Packaging.
Thats your future folks, if you keep believing the fairytale of futurism. The Fairytale of space travel. The fairy tale of computerised android slavebots to do your bidding. The fairytale that we are creating right now because the white robber barons made up a world for us. We must destroy the ideas they forced onto us with the ease of the toaster and the dishwasher in every home. Now it is the cell phone and the laptop. Soon it will be the robot and the flying car. Please. I beg of you; STOP Dreaming of the Futuristic Future!!
STOP IT NOW.
Start Imagining Better ways to do Better Things, Different Things. The Ideas of the Past Are KIlling Us, Lets Kill those Bad Ideas Instead.
BETTER IDEAS FOR A BETTER FUTURE.
JAIL THE POLLUTERS! MORATORIUM NOW!
