Every job, every profession of industrial society is destructive.........Every institution, every organization of industrial society is destructive........Every activity of industrial society is destructive.......why???........Because you need electricity, oil, buildings, transportation, consumer goods and services for every job, profession, institution, organization and activity of industrial society.
Production and use of these things has destroyed forests, rivers, oceans and atmosphere.......Production and use of these things has decimated millions of land and marine species.......Production and use of these things has generated billions of tonnes of plastic waste, chemical waste, gaseous waste, e-waste and hundreds of thousands of tonnes of the most hazardous nuclear waste.
.
.
Billions of urban people working in millions of industries and corporations, government offices and NGOs will never try to bring down the system because they are getting salaries and packages from the very system that is killing the planet.......They are getting profits and funds from the very system that is killing all life and life sustaining things on earth.
.
.
For hundred years the urban population of industrial society has been fooling the non-urban population with numbers, figures and terminologies.......Progress, Development, Growth Rate, Economy Rate, GDP.
.
If Urban Society stops its supplies to Rural Society it will live forever.
.
If Rural Society stops its supplies to Urban Society it will die within a month.
.
That is the worth of Urban Jobs, Consumer Goods, Growth Rate, Economy Rate and GDP.
.
.
Urban jobs and professions have destroyed the planet.
The entire urban population of industrial society is criminal.
The crime goes unchecked because 50% of world population is now urban.
The crime goes unchecked because urban population is running the system.
.
.
How can one species get food, clothing, shelter PLUS thousands of consumer goods and services on a small planet which is just 40,000 km in circumference when millions of other species got only food from earth for millions of years???
Height of Insanity........Insanity raised to the power of Infinity.
.
.
Living in industrial society was not even an option.......Agrarian society was the limit for man on earth.......Humans lived in food searching society for hundreds of thousands of years.......In food producing society for about 10,000 years.......Consumer goods producing industrial society is the anomaly /aberration........Industrial society running on electricity and oil has existed for just about hundred years.......Duration of industrial society is so small that it is almost zero percent of total human existence on earth.
.
.
The entire industrial society is criminal.........Industrial governments are criminal........Industrial citizens are criminal........Urban jobs and professions are criminal.
.
.
.
You can never escape from chaos, madness and destruction once you have created extra jobs and professions.........Industrial society has done just that........Industrial society has created hundreds of extra and destructive professions for its urban population which is not producing food which was the main occupation for thousands of years before industrialization.
.
.
For millions of years there was just one main activity / occupation on earth - "Searching for Food" / "Producing Food"..........Urban population of industrial society is the anomaly that is producing consumer goods and services.
For millions of years, both adults and the offspring of millions of animal species "searched for food".
For 1 million years in hunter_gatherer society both adults and children "searched for food".
For 10,000 years in agrarian society, most of the adults and children "produced food"
In industrial society (running on electricity and oil) which has only existed for 100 years, urban adults are producing consumer goods and services in industries and corporations..........Their children go to schools and universities where they learn how to produce and sell consumer goods in future.
.
.
.
"Food Searching Species" did not destroy environment in millions of years........"Food Producing Society" destroyed very little environment in 10,000 years........"Consumer Goods Producing Society" has destroyed the planet in just 100 years.
Industrial society gave more and more to humans by taking away more and more from millions of other species.
Industrial society has destroyed in hundred years what nature created in millions of years.
.
.
What would happen to your home if 1000 people entered and started working non-stop, picking up all the things lying in your home, breaking them up to produce new things out of them?
Your home will get ruined in one day.
This is exactly what has happened to the planet in the last 100 years.......Billions of urban people worked non-stop in millions of industries and corporations producing thousands of consumer goods which has led to the destruction of forests, rivers, oceans and atmosphere........It has led to the decimation of millions of land and marine species.
.
.
.
Physical work = Constancy and safety of planet.
Mental work = Continuous change and destruction of planet.
.
.
Do you know why new professions kept emerging every year in the last hundred years........Why new products kept emerging every year in the last hundred years???
For millions of years there was constancy in this world.........Millions of other species lived the same way for millions of years........Man lived the same way in forests for hundreds of thousands of years.........Man lived almost the same way in agrarian society for 10,000 years.
What led to the madness of "continuous change" from the sanity of "permanent constancy" in the last hundred years???
.
.
The switch-over from physical work to mental work / desk jobs has destroyed this planet in hundred years.
You can do the same physical work day after day, year after year, decade after decade, century after century.......But you cannot do the same mental work again and again........Once you have solved a problem of mathematics you cannot keep solving it again and again........You need a new problem, a different problem.
The madness of wanting something new all the time......The madness of chasing something new all the time came with the switch-over from physical work to mental work.
Pre-industrial society that did physical work had constancy........Industrial society which does mental work has continuous change, restless minds and devastated environment.
You can never escape from chaos, madness and destruction once you switch-over from physical work to mental work / desk jobs.
.
.
.
Physical Work, Subjective Experience, Religion and Spirituality did not destroy the planet in millions of years..........Scientific / Technological Thinking has destroyed the planet in just hundred years.
We can use our time and energy for three kinds of activities........Physical Work, Subjective Work (Experience) and Mental Work.
For millions of years environment did not get destroyed because activity was limited to physical work or subjective experience.........Millions of animal species did physical work........Man did physical work in hunter_gatherer stage and agrarian stage.......A very small percentage of population that did not do physical work spent its time and energy on subjective experience - religion, spirituality, yoga, meditation, pranayama and the arts.
Largescale destruction of environment began when man started using his time and energy for mental work - Science, Technology, Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Business, Finance, Economics.........This led to invention of industrial machines running on Steam, Electricity and Oil........This led to industrialization and production (and selling) of thousands of consumer goods and services.
As long as we limited our activity to physical work or subjective experience we destroyed very little environment.
When we switched over to Scientific / Technological Thinking, we started producing thousands of consumer goods in millions of industries and corporations and ended up destroying the planet in just about 100 years.
.
.
.
Today the entire world is collectively responsible for destroying the planet with industrial activity but the biggest role in this process of destruction was played by western civilization.......It was the west that started industrial revolution..........It was the west that forced industrial lifestyle on Asia, Africa and America whose cultures it had destroyed during the era of colonization.
.
.
.
Only food searching / food producing societies were sustainable.
Only physical work was sustainable.
.
Consumer goods producing society has destroyed the planet.
Mental work / Desk jobs have destroyed the planet.
.
.
.
The problem was not Capitalism, Communism or Socialism........The problem was Industrialism........When there was still time to save environment, a whole century was wasted in the futile debate on Capitalism, Communism and Socialism........All industrial societies are equally harmful, destructive and evil.
Hundreds of "isms" came with industrialization.......Hundreds of socio-economic theories came with industrialization.......All the madness and destruction came with industrialization.
Cancer is Cancer........It doesn't make any sense if you call it Capitalist Cancer, Communist Cancer or Socialist Cancer.
Industry is Industry........Communist Industry is as evil as Capitalist Industry........Socialist Industry is as evil as Capitalist Industry.
American industry has destroyed environment.
Russian industry has destroyed environment.
Chinese industry has destroyed environment.
British, French and German industries have destroyed environment.
Japanese, Indian and Korean industries have destroyed environment.
Mining industry destroys environment........It doesn't matter whether it is run under Capitalism, Communism or Socialism.
Manufacturing industry destroys environment........It doesn't matter whether it is run under Capitalism, Communism or Socialism.
Construction industry destroys environment........It doesn't matter whether it is run under Capitalism, Communism or Socialism.
Electricity industry destroys environment........It doesn't matter whether it is run under Capitalism, Communism or Socialism.
Oil industry destroys environment........It doesn't matter whether it is run under Capitalism, Communism or Socialism.
Road and Rail industry destroys environment........It doesn't matter whether it is run under Capitalism, Communism or Socialism.
Airline and Shipping industry destroys environment........It doesn't matter whether it is run under Capitalism, Communism or Socialism.
Meat and Fishing industry destroys environment........It doesn't matter whether it is run under Capitalism, Communism or Socialism.
Forests, rivers, oceans and atmosphere have been destroyed.......Millions of land and marine species have been decimated........Who will debate Capitalism, Communism and Socialism on a dead planet?
.
.
It is the urban population of the world that is running industrial activity.......Industrial activity is directly proportional to percentage of urban population.......Consumerism is directly proportional to percentage of urban population.........Destruction of environment is directly proportional to percentage of urban population.
A communist industrial society with 80% urban population or a socialist industrial society with 80% urban population will be as destructive as a capitalist industrial society with 80% urban population .
It is the percentage of urban population that determines how destructive industrial society is, not capitalism, communism or socialism.
.
.

More than 99% collapse of this planet has already happened.
Only human collapse is yet to happen.
And it is going to come with lightning speed now.
.
.
We have already lost more than 99.9% of life on earth........Millions of other species have already been decimated........Human species is the only one that hasn't been decimated yet........More than 99.9% of species have been decimated.
Millions of land species were lost when billions of acres of forests were destroyed by industrial activity........Mining Industry, Manufacturing Industry, Logging Industry, Construction Industry, Millions of kilometers of road and rail networks, Hundreds of thousands of power plants and oil refineries, Hundreds of thousands of ports and airports.
Millions of marine species were decimated and lost because of Industrial Fishing , Billions of tonnes of industrial chemicals and waste , Acidification and warming of oceans , Oxygen deprived dead zones in oceans , Bleaching and death of coral reefs , Oil spills and billions of tonnes of plastic waste in oceans.
All life except human life has been decimated.
All life sustaining things have been destroyed........Forests, Rivers, Oceans, Atmosphere.
.
.
.
Man has spent more than 99.9% of his time on earth in non-industrial societies.
Man lived in forests for hundreds of thousands of years........Man lived in villages in agrarian society for 10,000 years........Man has lived in industrial society running on electricity and oil for just 100 years during which he has destroyed the entire planet.
.
.
Industrialization was the biggest crime on earth.
Agrarian society was the limit for man on earth.
Stop Education.....Close Down Universities.
Stop Urban Work.....Close Down the Cities.
.
.
.
Eradicate, abolish, dismantle industrial society right now........Industrial society is going to collapse like a house of cards within the next few years.........Dismantle it voluntarily........Unplanned collapse will lead to Total Chaos, Mass Murder and Total Contamination of this planet.
There are three options.
We continue with present lifestyle.
We use force/ sabotage to stop industrial society.
We dismantle industrial society voluntarily.
.
.
If we continue with present lifestyle there will be severe shortage of food and water in the coming years..........agriculture which requires regularity of weather will be destroyed by global warming / climate change........rivers will cease to exist because of melting, shrinking and vanishing glaciers........humans will be wiped out in the next few years and the planet will be totally destroyed.
.
If we use force/ sabotage to stop industrial society humans will still get wiped out in the next few years and the planet will be contaminated / poisoned for thousands of years.......If force/ sabotage is used, cities will collapse first when supply of food and water will be disrupted......Billions of city people will rush out in search of food, water and land......They will first wipe out the villagers and small communities because they will have the advantage of numbers......Then they will fight each other for control of food, water and land......There will be no survivors......Only very few living in very remote areas of the world will survive.
.
If force/ sabotage is used to stop industrial society this planet will be so contaminated that living would be worse than death.......There are 600 nuclear plants in this world where nuclear material has to be monitored continuously to avoid chain reaction and melting.......If force / sabotage is used these nuclear plants will start exploding like chernobyl and fukushima poisoning the entire planet with radioactive dust.
.
.
The only solution that can work is voluntary dismantling of industrial society.
A pure non-industrial society is not possible now because industrialization has increased human population to over 7 billion from 1 billion in 1800 AD.
Give free food to the urban population but immediately stop urban work for production of thousands of consumer goods........A fraction of world population is already producing food for entire population.
This planet is very small........Just 40,000 km in circumference.
Millions of other species destroyed environment only for food.
Forest man destroyed environment only for food.
Agrarian man destroyed environment for food, clothing and shelter.
Industrial man has destroyed environment for food, clothing, shelter PLUS thousands of consumer goods and services.
Industrial man has destroyed Exponential Extra Environment.
EXPONENTIAL EXTRA ENVIRONMENT.
It is the urban population of industrial society that has destroyed exponential extra environment.
The collective work of human society must be limited to food, clothing and shelter.........Millions of other species only got food from earth.
Give free food to the urban population but immediately stop urban work for production of thousands of consumer goods........A fraction of world population is already producing food for entire population.
