The Unsustainable

from The Unsustainable Sessions by #KleeBenally (2019)

"all my rage bleeds out my throat
into rivers that used to flow
into canyons painting these deserts
so that they will grow. (once again)

is it too late
to rethink this?
on the eve of another apocalypse…
how far are will willing to go
to resist?
how far are will willing to go?

we can’t sustain, we can’t sustain
the unsustainable

are you still waiting and hoping this will all go away?
or for a better cage or more comfortable chains?
while these roots wither and they decay
well, its not broken, it’s made this way…
we can’t sustain, we can’t sustain
the unsustainable

and if the structures don’t change?
and the control remains the same?
they bring terror but they have names
so fuck your votes, your politicians, and reforms
we can’t sustain, we can’t sustain
the unsustainable

end this cycle
destroy what destroys us

we can’t sustain."

The fact that VAT is applied on utility bills in the first place is a monstrous thing to do.

#Baddebt from #unsustainable #consumerism
"Danucha P, secretary-general of #NESDC, said tt in 4Q 2024, #household #debt totalled THB16.4tril, showing a 0.2% growth cf to te same period last year.. largely due to tighter lending stds.. Danucha said 1 issue tt needed to be addressed was Thais' tendency to #consume #luxuriously, which can easily lead to excessive debt.. survey by Mahidol found tt 1 in 3 #Thais prefer to #spend their money on #luxurygoods & #premium services"

#Deforestation effect of UK consumption #unsustainable, say MPs
British consumers are contributing particularly highly to destruction of world’s #forests. #UK consumption is having an “unsustainable” impact on the world

Products such as #soya, #cocoa, #palm oil, #beef and #leather may be products of #deforestation, the environmental audit committee has found

How #corporate #SLAPP lawsuits endanger our rights and the #planet

by Chris Greenberg
25 April 2023

"Hope creates the conditions for #ClimateAction. And climate action nurtures hope. Just as hope and action have a reinforcing relationship, so do fear and silence.

"The #polluting #corporations who put #profits over people and the planet know this and they use their resources to intimidate, to instill fear, and ultimately to silence the people directly impacted by their short-sighted, extractive greed.

"#SLAPPs, a type of abusive lawsuit, are a key tool used by corporate power to suppress #FreeSpeech and people power. These cynical lawsuits can force non-profit organizations like #Greenpeace International to divert precious resources away from campaigning for a more just and sustainable society. Perhaps even worse, SLAPPs can intimidate targets from challenging powerful corporations in the future.

"Every SLAPP, regardless of the defendant, is an attack on everyone who believes in the power of free speech and the right to #PeacefulProtest. No one should be bullied for speaking up on behalf of people and the planet.

"But CorporateBullies beware!

"In a massive win for free speech, a US federal court recently dismissed a seven-year lawsuit brought by #ResoluteForestryProducts against a number of Greenpeace staff members and entities, including #GreenpeaceInternational and #GreenpeaceUSA. The #Canadian #logging company sued the Greenpeace defendants for CA $100 million in an attempt to silence and bankrupt them, after criticism of its #unsustainable #forestry practices.

"Let’s take a closer look at SLAPPs so you can recognize them when you see them:

"What does #SLAPP stand for? SLAPP stands for '#StrategicLawsuitAgainstPublicParticipation '. These lawsuits are used by #corporations attempting to diminish or even stop public participation in civil society. SLAPPs often lack any kind of merit, and don’t need to result in a legal victory to achieve the outcome desired by corporate bullies.

"SLAPPs waste time and cause financial and sometimes #PsychologicalHarm to targeted individuals and organisations who have to hire #lawyers and engage in costly #LegalBattles, sometimes to the point of facing bankruptcy. These lawsuits attempt to silence free speech and limit peaceful #dissent by using litigation as a tool for deterring non-violent protest and even documenting and bearing witness."
