George Monbiot says: "Trashing the planet and hiding the money isn’t a perversion of capitalism – it is capitalism."

Capitalism is not, as its defenders insist, a system designed to distribute wealth, but one designed to capture and concentrate it.

The story capitalism tells about itself – that you become rich through hard work and enterprise – is the greatest propaganda coup in human history.

@breadandcircuses And the trashing continues — with no punishment or accountability — as shown by this story in ProPublica:

"Toxic Gaslighting: How 3M Executives Convinced a Scientist the Forever Chemicals She Found in Human Blood Were Safe"

Marxism is not the only alternative. Marxism's failures do not excuse the failures of capitalism (e.g., https://www.propublica.org/article/3m-forever-chemicals-pfas-pfos-inside-story).

Monbiot's article is about capitalism, not about Marxism.

This became a cooking motivation (& a bit weightloss) thread I refer back to. Pretty much everything in here is tasty, filling, but also fairly decent for new years resolutions & general weight goals. I try to do fairly natural whole ingredient based cooking. Nearly all plant based, but I do choose some flexibility for occasions or accommodating social stuff.

Mostly I do whole ingredients but plantbased switches have really come along in the last few years. Here I'm making sausage sandwiches! I'm like a trailblazing culinary genius with this amazing idea I invented!!

I will say I really like the Linda McCartney Red Onion & Rosemary bangers. Proper tasty!

The apron is an awesome gift from my GF 😺

Simnett not only uses highly processed foods (made from refined ingredients), he also cooks just one meal at a time.

When I make a dish, it's always enough for a few meals. Today I'm starting with a big bunch of collards, which I'll cook with allium (scallions, garlic), homemade tempeh (legumes and grain), broccolini (second cruciferous veg), bell peppers, a lemon, ginger, turmeric, etc. Several good meals.
