Sustainable Bullshit

Sustainable. Organic. Fair Trade. Sustainable. Organic. Fair Trade. Sustainable. Organic. Fair Trade. The mantra of the modern disingenuous white liberal yuppie hipster douche.

Check out this site where you can buy eco-friendly Jewelry: Loving Each Other and Loving The Planet. A Marriage in Values. We oppose diamond mining, with the unconscionable human and ecological sacrifice it extracts. With the availability of equivalent synthetics to handle cultural and industrial needs, mining of diamonds is simply no longer needed. By retraining diamond miners to earn non-mining livelihoods, we could help communities make a transition to sustainable and ecologically responsible economies.

Don't you think if the starving Africans had a better way to feed their family they would do it?  But they don't have a better option. Its Africa. Its hot. They're hungry and AIDS ridden. And its all The CIA's fault. So while the government target of your white guilt may be appropriate, you're still a fucking moron thinking that people will stop wanting to own diamonds because some African 8,000 miles away gave his life for it. And so the poor people of Africa work in a fucking mine. Just like the poor people of China, India, Mexico, Pakistan, Nevada, Virginia, and every other state or country in the whole world work in mines. Let's just retrain them all and everyone can work in an office or a food coop like me! No. They cant. There will always be someone poorer than you digging fucking ore with their bare hands earning less than the guy who delivers your dry cleaning.

I wonder how many diamond miners have been retrained and what will they be retrained to do? Make organic sustainable jewelry with recycled metals? Nope, sorry. Disingenuous white liberal yuppie hipster douches have a choke hold on that industry.

Africa is just missing one critical ingredient that will help spur its transformation into the next global superpower. For Africa to assume its place amongst the world's technological and economic elite all it needs is ................................. ........................................... ................................................ ................... .............. ............................... ...................BIKE LANES!!!!

  2. Thanks for this!

    The company I work for jams so much Kool-Aid down my through that I'm drowning in the crap.

    We have a project coming up where we do home repairs for poor folks to remediate health or safety issues.

    We are told to discuss "sustainability" and "green technology" with the recipients.

    So I'm supposed to go into the dilapidated home of some withering octogenarian and discuss what? Soy-based paint? LED lights for their aging eyes? Maybe recycled toilet paper?

    Heck, these folks are grateful if they can have one healthy bowel movement a week, and I'm supposed to make them care that the paper they wipes their asses with is "sustainable???"

    What a crock...

  3. After exhausting research to get to the bottom of this, I have reached this conclusion. Sustainablility = Social Justice
