When profit became a goal of human activity, things turn into complete shit quickly.
All that planned obsolence, processed food, single-use things, finacial services and all that stuff is a product of profit-driven economy and nothing else.
And it is only beginning. It's not hard to imagine how that will develop, and picture is disgusting.
Also, profit-driven economy is a power source for aristocracy/elites and inevitably lead to globalism.
In the not so distant past some enterprises/corporations still valued such thing as reputation, and kind of tried to not make shitty things for the sake of profit. However, with development of advertising into brainwashing, even those who careв about reputation completely turned to profits, and you will not find anyone who try to make nice, reliable, long-lasting things for customers.
It is not a technical problem to make a car that will last forever with rare cheap service today. It will not even be expensive. It will generate an excellent reputation, but not much profits. So, it is impossible today.
I don't see any clear solution to that shit, but profit-driven economy have to be exterminated to prevent disaster in the future.
Funny, but that globalists dream of social credit system could be kind of partial solution, if applied to businesses instead of people, by people. Things reliability, cost of ownership, lifetime and other parameters could be used to score corporations. Corporations with low score could be forced to pay compensation to customers, to effectively cut their profits and so force them to choose other goal, like reputation or whatever else.
All advertising, except neutral and real product parameters should be banned forever. Any attempt to use any subconscious methods in advertising shoud be punished as fraud, criminally with jailtime. Say, car manufacturers shouldn't show a car running through pleasant landscape with something like "this car wil make you look cool" voice in background. There should be mpg, hp, trunk volume, cost of year ownership in terms of service costs and spare parts and other really useful information.
Basically, modern advertising is a pure brainwashing today, thats side-effect of profit-driven economy. If you can brainwash people to buy shit, then there is no any need to make decent things at all.
Really this is a huge conspiracy, that combines nearly all shit we have in our clown world, from fiat money everybody run after as stupid sheep to the globalism and jews. And all that combines into one thing - profit-driven economy.
If we want to do something about any of conspiracies we talk about, then we have to start with profit-driven economy.
Yes, but it challenges the whole paradigm:
Accept that the purpose of life is not consuming and acquiring goods and that man is a spiritual and a moral being that transcends this world first and homo economicus material being in this world second. Such a society will be driven by economy of virtue and duty and not by economy of goods and services catering to our desires. Such a society actually exists and has always existed within the Christian Church but sadly we're a minority in our degenerate times.
Really it is not even about all that virtues. Even regular customer still trying to choose better thing even in exchange for higher price, if he is not severely limited by need and available finances.
And that customer available financed is constantly cut by the same profit-driven economy, because worker salaries are losses for business owner, and being profit-driven he try to cut them just like he trying to cut the spending on components and other stuff to maximize his profits.
Profit-driven economy devouring itself in a dangerous loop with positive feedback. Manufacturer produce shittier product, including using cheaper workforce or cutting salaries (directly or through inflation) or redicing workforce, workers being customers for other manufacturers look for lower prices and to keep profits they lower quality and workforce salaries even more, and so on.
This could easily run into death spiral, where poor people will produce and consume absolute shit, while elites will still get their profits. And even people virtues and consumerism denial will not be able to do anything with that.
Without destruction of that profit-drive that rule over economy, even good, God-following people, will not be able to compete or get rid of corporations that will suck them dry eventually. In the best case you could build something like Amish community, but that's not really human development, it is degradation or at least stagnation, with all my respect to Amishes.
What you describe was possible before the 20th century, that is before the advent of advertisement and mass social engineering. From Bernays onwards, a method of selling low quality goods that people don't really need was worked out. They saw they could create the product and then convince people it was valuable because in the NWO only individual human and societal perception defines what's valuable, as opposed to unchanging universal good (that's an entailment of the humanist worldview).
This is how we got to where are we today where consumers have been engineered to go after low quality products because they're easier to manufacture (this applies mostly to cultural products and not tech). There are other reasons behind promotion of degenerate culture of course but we're focused on the economical side.
The Amish are against technology and they are arbitrary stuck at a fixed time in the 19th century as if that reflects Christian historic tradition in some way. There is a way to foster technological progress in a Christian society and this has been the case with the longest surviving empire there was - the Byzantine empire, governed by the principle of symphonia. There is nothing wrong with technology or manufacturing of goods as long as the principles governing them are sound.
It's all about hierarchy - one can't serve to both Mammon and God. Today's society is governed by greed and Mammon and the only thing it develops towards is its own demise and degradation. Technological development and consumption cannot be an end in itself. It's always governed by an underlying moral principle and conviction. Technology is supposed to serve man and not enslave him or prevent him communion with God - this is true progress.
Exactly. And it is not clear how could we get rid of that shit now.
Yep. That's not the solution.
Exactly. But most technology, and especially means of production of tech now in the hands of coproeconomists. To create Amish-like community but with acceptance of technological progress, we will have to create nearly all industries almost from the ground. I think it is possible, but it will be extremely hard, and then community have to somehow defend it from profit-driven sharks, especially if it will become more succesfull than coproeconomy.
I believe this is the crux of the problem - the change has to come from a paradigm shift in society which will inevitably model the system according to its views and not the other way around. This is the only way to achieve systematic change.
TPTB have already employed this method but in the opposite direction - they degraded society and they have alienated and debased the individual to make them easier to control. They appealed to our base instincts and desires (our fallen and sinful nature) to achieve it because they know people are vulnerable to such seduction especially if they are not grounded in tradition and common moral principles expressing objective truth.
To counter this, everyone should adhere to a common moral code based on duties and hold other members of the community accountable. This is not possible outside of a common meta-narrative that only a religion or an ideology can provide. "The liberal individualistic capitalist democratic consumer society" meta-narrative of the West is collapsing under the weight of it's entailments - pluralism, relativism, lack of cohesion, nihilism, depravity, corruption, consolidation of power, rise of monopoly and oligarchy. The void will be filled by something. TPTB have been preparing for this for at least a 100 years. This is what the Great Reset is truly about - it's not just about economics and technology. They don't shy from sharing their plans in their writings.
