They are beautiful, in their goose poop tinsel, the tycoons and
technocrats of shady finance. With a lot of greenwashing, they try to
palm off on us gadgets and other electrical junk, from cars to
smartphones, filled to the brim with rare earths and minerals stained
with the blood of the exploited who toil in the man-eating mines. Alas,
to power all these things, to perpetuate our consumption of ephemeral
cell phones and all these supposedly indispensable gadgets, we will have
to crack the atom, again and again. And in the meantime, cyclones,
fires, and pollution peaks in cities near the Indian factories
manufacturing our green and virtuous wind turbines will continue to mow
down the lives of ordinary people while our billionaire job-creators fly
over all this beautiful mess from their private jets, shedding guilty
tears while counting greenbacks.
Let's not get lost in these consumerist mirages of green growth based on
the crazy idea of a planet with infinite resources. As the trade
unionist Chico Mendes said, before being assassinated by a big boss,
"ecology without politics is gardening". The fight to preserve our
global ecosystem from capitalist rapacity is more relevant than ever.
Libertarian degrowth probably remains its main tool. Let's refocus our
lives around what's essential. Let us free ourselves from the useless,
the superficial, the long circuits, the food coming from
slaughterhouses, the planned obsolescence of an unbridled voracity of
rotten products manufactured by slaves on the other side of the world.
Let us work towards social growth and mutual aid.
It is at this price that we, and our children after us, will finally be
able to live and breathe properly.
