Climate Change? No That's Just Capitalism!

Whenever I see some people try to water down the term capitalism like "ethical" or "crony" or even "crapitalism" or "corporatism", it doesn't change a fucking thing that the world we are living in being fucked by a single cause. But let's all be like "not true capitalism" when shit hits the fan.

Zlavoj Zizek once said:

[Think about the strangeness of today's situation. Thirty, forty years ago, we were still debating about what the future will be: communist, fascist, capitalist, whatever. Today, nobody even debates these issues. We all silently accept global capitalism is here to stay. On the other hand, we are obsessed with cosmic catastrophes: the whole life on earth disintegrating, because of some virus, because of an asteroid hitting the earth, and so on. So the paradox is, that it's much easier to imagine the end of all life on earth than a much more modest radical change in capitalism.]

Let's water down capitalism with, random shit, but you can't water down capitalism with climate change. Climate change is literally the direct consequence of capitalism.

Fucking face it. If it doesn't affect you yet, it will. No one is immune from the consequence.

Oh and net neutrality? Yikes! You all caused it.

In solidarity to all the people dying and suffering from the consequences caused by last, this and next generations. We're all In for it.

earth lacks first and foremost , common unifying culture .

atm , only competition for scarce resources can keep sufficient international relationships intact so-as to prevent war . even ' atm ' suggests money relationships forms a temporary , unsustainable status quo .

I perfectly agree with the description, which I read while listening to the beginning of the song (which fits amazingly, by the way). I can imagine Morgan Freeman or something narrating those words along with that background music. nice job :)

zybor responds:

Thank you for your response. :)

First, I'll talk about the song, and then I'll address the description.

The song sounds cool! Creepy and atmospheric. I like the groove it gets later on. I'm more of a dubstep person, so I'll stop my comments on the song here, but from what I've heard, this sounds pretty good.

Now to the important stuff: climate change being an effect of capitalism. I'll say it at the top, the climate change agenda isn't factual. Here's my reasons for going against the majority:

-The majority doesn't matter. To give an analogy, a majority of scientists used to believe that the earth was flat.

-There's a lot of political motivation for climate change on the left side of the aisle. For leftists, it's a great tool. They can use climate change to get money. They can say that anyone who opposes them just needs to shut up and realize the threat of global climate catastrophe. All of that just means that we can't trust people with political power on this issue because they have the possibility of having perverse motives.

-We don't have a crystal ball to see the future. We can develop our climate models all we want, but we will never be able to see the future. Climate models are also quite extremely unreliable; many of the "best climate models" show differing outcomes for the global climate. On top of that, the organizations that make and use these climate models are in positions of power, and thus may have motives other than "find the truth about the climate."

-We can't affect the global climate. We may put out X number of liters of CO2 per year, but the Earth has mechanisms in place to keep itself stable, to rid itself of imbalances. Additionally, the amount of CO2 we put out, however massive sounding, is nothing compared to our atmosphere. Even going by the prominently leftist Wikipedia, which means they may have perverse motives, only 0.0407% of the atmosphere is CO2. Methane accounts for 0.00018% of the atmosphere, in case you were wondering.

-If the climate is actually changing, it doesn't matter. The way that the climate has changed in the past has been sinusoidal, oscillating between warm periods and cold periods. If we're not affecting the global average temperature, but it's changing, then the best explanation that we have for this is that it's just the Earth doing what it's done for a long time. (By the way, the temperature change in the past 200 years is estimated to be about half a degree celsius. I say estimated because we don't know what the global temperature was like before we had satellites.) In other words, even if the climate looks like it's going to cause global catastrophe, it's just not.

And finally, capitalism is not causing climate change. I've been to New York and Washington D.C., places where you'd expect a lot of pollution, right? That would follow from the "capitalism = climate catastrophe" thought, right? Well, because we've found better ways to burn coal, we're not emitting as much waste into the atmosphere. (On the other hand, leftist places like China are extremely polluted because they can't burn coal cleanly. I'm not sure about current statistics, but in 2014, China's pollution made up a third of the pollution in San Francisco, California...!)

In conclusion, just... no.

zybor responds:

The denials and anecdote are amusing. "We found better way to burn coal", you buy into that clean coal horse shit? Did they mention to you that NYC and SF both are dealing with sea level rising?

Like I said in the description, just because you are living in comfort doesn't mean the rest of the world are the same. That's why I fucking hate Americans, even their own people suffering they are so fucking dumb they would deny it. You have been to Texas or New Orleans lately, boy? 3 massive hurricanes in a fucking year, still denying it eh?

I like the bulding up tension up to 02:30, but the second half sounded a bit repetitive and long. Maybe if there was another, more fast-paced part, It would've felt more interesting? But the track is great anyway, the atmosphere and rythm are breathtaking as always

zybor responds:

Thanks.
