Humanity is careening toward a variety of scenarios that spell global catastrophe, for no reason other than we’re holding ourselves hostage to an economic system that puts short-term corporate profits before the safety & well-being of people. This is not just unjust. It’s insane.

Big Pharma owns it all. The beginning to the end of existence as we know it.

Our corporate overlords are Kamikaze and they have the nerve to call us “radicals”

Yep. It's one reason so many people are depressed and stressed 24/7. The system is literally squeezing the life out of people.

Like a bad movie, USA is the last “nation state” to follow course of empire. Then begins “corporate global state”, with governments serving their interests and keeping peeps “manageable” by carrot/stick.

Not just people. OK. THE ENTIRE PLANET. AND ALL OF ITS DENIZENS. We are not the "superior" animal and creature we think we are.
We're "holding ourselves" hostage? Somewhere between the victim blaming that I see as inherent in that statement and the opposite extreme of declaring us all blameless for the situation in which we're mired is the real appraisal, imo. A relatively tiny group wields big power.

Don’t forget the global impact of 8 billion people on the planet that really is designed for less than 500 million people.
