Company: surplus, consumption by terror




by Christophe » 18/06/13, 14:10

A documentary about our CONSOMMATION society ...

Therefore mounted as a series of clips-not ordinary pubs on the form, this documentary takes an anti-consumer attitude and shows interesting elements on the bottom. A film as confusing the consumer society he denounces, although the proposed release may not be to everyone's liking. Everyone will then be his personal opinion.

Superb documentary! I had already seen it and I find it really upsetting. This is one of the reasons why I want to devote my activity to the protection of the ozone layer and the environment in general.

I only 1 problem with myself. I have a hobby that contradicts my commitment. As mentioned in my presentation, I like to play games on the web, here for example. Do some of you have passions, such as motorsports for example, who are not especially ecologists? : Shock:

Super doc finally the proposal to return to the Stone Age is a little excessive but I pretty much agree. This is very similar to descending ideas (Paul Aries, Pierre Rabih). It is also true that the manifs that do not serve much unless they are violent ...

I think the need to return to the Stone Age is a conceptual necessity, but can not justify that only through this narrow focus.
This is quite evident when we examine the "realistic ecological compromises" which, far from coming close to solutions, stick patches to the problem.

On the question of violence is addressed in this film, it would probably legitimate if clear ideas about the goals and means of achieving them existed; However, if these conditions were met, violence would be useless ...
In the current state, violence would only come up against more violence and increase the general level of violence ...

On the futility of protests on the grounds of inefficiency, again, it is possible to disagree with the comments supported: it is important to show that there are discordant voices and the event is an opportunity to do ; Moreover, making efficiency a key criterion seems a contradiction when it comes to fighting a system that is destroying the world precisely because of its extreme efficiency.

Indeed, the violence only strengthens securitarianism ...
Revolutionary movements often see in such measures a certain forms of salvation, when in reality this type of action only reinforces the powers that be and often leads to the death of innocents.
The study of history shows brilliantly, moreover, that most violent acts known as "revolutionary" are in fact orchestrated by intelligence services manipulating useful idiots ...

The violent act as solutions to complex problems are often the work that disturbed individuals and limited intelligence.

It's pretty sad to see that as soon as we talk about decay, we're talking about going back to the Stone Age.
This idea is even more stupid that such action is totally inapplicable to the fact that in addition to not attract any suffrage it would cause the death of almost all of the people!
It is in fact an argument widely disseminated by the priests of the economy, the goal being to create a fear aiming to make believe that the only outcome of our species would be in the growth: "Without growth, there is no salvation ".

In reality if we continue in this "exponentialist" madness we will indeed end up in a Stone Age caused by an ecological catastrophe and / or a third world conflict!

Yes, in the religion of economics, Eden is achieved on earth, or in the process of being so, the Stone Age would therefore correspond to an exit from this garden. With, however, compared to the biblical myth, the difference that there is here a chronological inversion: it would be a return to a previous state, a kind of "fall" back !.
