  • we're all fucked

  • once your income gets to a certain point and basic needs are met then more wealth doesnt equal more happiness. it never can. it just distracts you from the really important, burns you out, pollutes the environment, fragments populations and spreads mental illness

see all

  • That's an awesome video, even one retarded capitalist had watched it (and disliked)

  • China doesnt have to use the same natural resources as america. They can use compressed air instead of oil for their cars.

  • Stand for WORLD EQUALITY. EQUAL MONEY SYSTEM.

  • Stand for WORLD EQUALITY.

  • 7:40 yeah hows that working out

  • @tmcthree

    The thing killing us isn't consumerism. Its fractional reserve banking.

    100 years ago, consumerism was perfectly decent.

    Its the banks that put the pressure on us.

  • @halflinks another question is Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody.

  • Lol. Impossible-ism.

  • @tmcthree Then again, we're not all fucked if we do something about it.

  • Brilliant video, extremely intelligent and informative. It is all very true, there is no argument. Consumerism is one of the biggest problems, but not the biggest. The population is the biggest problem. No chance of controlling that. There is no easy answers. Only ways of slowing things down, making it last a little longer. But making it last longer will not help the planet....I wish I was as optimistic as the message in this video. I guess it is a question of fighting or riding the swell...
