I’m crying, my head hurts... I’ve just watched The Corporation.
My head is hurting and I remind myself whenever you’ve seen, watched, read or heard something important, act on it, act straight away because the world is designed to distract you from feeling moved and empowered to move on change. Have you ever noticed at the end of something really powerful, something trivial follows... So with all the lists and notes that I made, I figured I’m gonna just put them all down here now and build on them step by step:
Dr Vandana Shiva - nourish, seeds, harvest our own, no gm - lies. No to seed technology.
John C Maxwell, 14 lawyers of leadership came together to try to dismantle the a corporation in California.
Spam with ethics - email correspondence tactics - the same tactics the marketers use to get children to make parents buy stuff, needs to be turned on corporations.
The corporation believes in nothing - The rich man will sell you the rope to hang himself with if thought he would make a profit from it...Michael Moore
“the people when united will never be defeated” taking back the power from the corporations that try to privatise water.
Ray Anderson - Interface, carpet manufacturers trying to be sustainable by 2020 and standing up to his fellow corporations to remind them that their businesses are wrong, flawed and must change.
We need an industrial revolution that works - this one is failing and so will the era of electric. All we are going to do is rob the earth of more resources. We need to reuse what we have rather than dig up the sea bed for the minerals to make electric cars. We have no idea or I should say we have a good idea of the consequences, yet people are buying in, buying up masses of the sea bed to mine. Rebuild new with what we have. There is a place for business and industries but they are not people and should be afforded the rights of people. How can an organisation own a natural resource the the planet supplies and is a basic requirement for all the people on that corporation to survive. Are they saying that are the only ones that are allowed to survive because they can afford to? I think so...
Big brands are dangerous.
Sabortage Corporate culture, Jam corporate culture.
IBM - Hitler, Microsoft - Covid. IBM computers were leased to the Germans to gather data on people, isn’t that what is happening via Microsoft now and Covid?
Call their bluff - the governments and the corporations.
How do we resist and dismantle corporations?
“Do not fear the government, work with them. You have a say and get involved in governments, but you can’t in corporations”
Governments are employed by us, we have a say - lets not take everything they say as truth - they can be manipulated, bullied, bribed. Question, act, get involved.
The more people feel love for one another the more they feel empowered to act for one another. We have to inspire - inspire one another through love to care, not just politically but caring brings about love and optimism. There is more power in positivity and love than in fear. We need to harness it.
We’re constantly being dumbed down so that we don’t rally each other to act, so that we constantly reflect on trivial matters, keep everything quick and fleeting so that it doesn’t leave a lasting impression because, a lasting impression can’t be erased, a lasting impression causes change - something like this film has had on me.
