How many people do enough good for the world at their jobs to offset the carcinogens they release during their commutes?

Maybe 5%, 10% tops?

Part of the problem here is that Owners think we have to all congregate in one place to get shir done. They also think they have to look over our shoulders. Commute is just another way they can exert their control over us. Vehicles are just another commodity they can force us to consume.

You will never get workers to agree, but almost all of them are engaged in activity that is both self-destructive and destructive to the natural environment. They do nothing productive. Getting them to face this cold fact without a struggle is impossible, because their subsistence is tied to continuation of that destructive activity.

The carcinogenic pollution in all our cigarettes combined pales in comparison to the Pentagon’s.

The problem is human nature.

Any profession which expands the population, or promotes consumerism is bad.

Construction workers are bad, Sales people are bad. Marketers are bad, politicians are bad.

I would say there are 1-5% of the population who are worth keeping around.

As if Feel-Good Points offsets irreversible catastrophic climate change and biospheric extinction. I fucking hate anthropocentrist cop-outs like this hippy-dippy fluff.

You're an Anarchist too huh? Well you're sure as shit not my "comrade."
