Imagine if we all came together to end an unaffordable world for profit, rather than ending the world for profit.
Last time I read a specific article about world global debt about ten years ago, the writer basically described it by saying that if all global trade was stopped and no more debt was passed around and everyone, every corporation, every nation and every business was forced to just start repaying all their debts everywhere all at once at the minimum rate … it would take the world 10 million years to repay everything. The economy and finances have only inflated a lot more since then so by now, the same scenario would probably take 100 million years.
Regardless of the numbers and details … global finances are built on debt and the only way to pay it back is to access more debt in a perpetual cycle … somehow we all believe that this can last forever and that it can be sustained indefinitely.
It’s a world of smoke and mirrors where wealth, profit and money is all an imaginary figment of our collective imaginations … it’s all worth something if we all believe it is worth something. As soon as enough of us lose faith in it all, it all disappears and collapses and fails.
It’s a world religion in a way … it’s a system built on faith and belief … and as long as we all keep believing in it, it will all stay valuable and important.
I really like the way you ended it. I read a book (by a shamaness, no less), that said gods died when no one believed/worshipped that particular god anymore. I got where she was coming from. While I agree with the journalist, Hedges assertion that religion makes a good man good and a bad man bad, and have no problem with most religiophilosophies that don’t actively seek to damage our habitat and fellow inhabitants thereof, some gods and religions just need to die before they kill us all. Dominionism, for example.
Ok guys, I’ll stop paying mine and the rest of you do the same. What are they going to do? Arrest us all? They are going to arrest us all aren’t they.
Which comic is this? I suck with faces+names :/
Their social media tag is at the bottom of the image
Thanks. Not sure how I missed that…
It happens, no worries! Human brain is amazing but glitchy as shit
Technically … from a personal perspective … if you stop paying your credit card debt, your own personal world will end.
I always feel like someone is watching me.
Honestly, is this actually funny?
I think someone who has 1 single post in their history shouldn’t question whether a post that has 25 upvotes in 28 minutes is funny.
You don’t have to be a michelin chef to figure out if you like a shit sandwich or not
No, I think they’re allowed to.
True. I already know it’s not.
Humor is subjective
Maybe, maybe not. Humor is subjective.
Why wouldn’t it be funny?
