Internettet og globaliseringen har trods alt ført noget godt med sig. Jeg var på nettet på jagt efter fair trade økologisk tøj. Her faldt jeg over Rent Tøj – et lille enmands onlinefirma, der havde specialiseret sig i fair trade økologisk tøj. På siden fandt jeg underbukser fra firmaet Try Arms. Try Arms har en skøn historie bag sig. Det store tøjfirma Triumph havde en stor fabrik i Bangkok, Thailand i gennem 20 år. Arbejderne begyndte på et tidspunkt at organisere sig og kræve ordentlige arbejdsforhold. Triumph kvitterede med at flytte fabrikken til det nordlige Thailand, hvor fagforeningerne ikke er. Arbejderne tilgengæld kvitterede med at åbne deres egen fabrik Try Arms. Det er da værd at støtte. Underbukserne koster 50,- ikke meget mere end de billige i supermarkedet, som med garanti er lavet under kummerlige forhold. RentToj.dk giver tilmed fem kroner ekstra direkte til fabrikken. Her viser internettet virkelig sin styrke. Det her kan lade sig gøre, fordi Rent Tøj kan købe det direkte hos fabrikken uden mellemmænd, takket være internettet og Rent Tøj finder sig niche kundegruppe på nettet. Fantastisk.

Let’s give away all our hard won freedom we have fought for at least 200 years to protect copyright of the entertainment industry, so that they can keep business running and feeding us with crap art.

Just buy it – Enjoy the Olympics!
The Olympics Games is the only modern days mayor sports events, that has a beautiful ideology. Make sports, not war. Unite the humanity etc. Like every other beauties that the human race has produced it to has been raped by commercialism, and today it’s all about consuming. It has become one of the greatest promoting platforms for the multinationals corps. So let us unite the humanity in consumption, enjoy the commercials and make shopping, not war.
The disease of western society
Have we not a lovely society here in the enlighted west? With all our gadgets, richness and freedom. Our world is just perfect, right? If you think so, then you must be either blind or hypnotized by coca colas marketings department. Here’s my list of diseases in the western world, which need immediately cure.
Blockbusters movies with wow effects.They are just lullaby for the people. Presenting them a simplified versions of the world in black and white, that they can overcome. Instead of brighten and nuance their world view.
TV. TV is so destroying our society that it should be forbidden. People work all day. Then they go home in their sofa, and get paralysed by empty entertainment on tv. The entertainment represent their dreams of a more exciting life. Therefore their biggest dream is to come into tv and be one with their utopian dream world.
Sports events. The most nonsense kind of entertainment. The sports events are big business. Anyway the state post billions in these corporations. Sports and exercise is great for the people, so why don’t make the people play football them self? It gives them more team spirit, friends and healthier life. Instead of being paralysed on the sofa with beer in front of tv.
Copyrights laws. Big companies argues that copyright crimes means that artist earns less. Well I don’t care if Lady Gaga or Madonna earns a million dollar more or less. The truth is, that the internet have made it possible to small artists to reach their audience without begging big record companies, that just think of money.
However the greatest problem with the copyrights laws today is that the people think that they are unfair. When people in democratic countries begins to doubt the laws of the society -then we got big problems.
Rule of laws. If you buy a record and share it with your friends, the hell is loose and your life could be destroyed with imprisoning or endless debt to a corporation. If a CEO of a big company screw things up big times because of greed, which costs many people their jobs and make the country unstable, he gets a huge cheque and a new CEO job. If you raped a girl, stole some food or hit a man you get less penalty than sharing a record on the internet. See that is logic. No wonder people are frustrated.
Banks and insurance companies. No it is not the individual country who have acted careless in this finance crisis. It is the big corps. 97% of the money in the world doesn’t exist. It is numbers in the computer system bound to loans. Only 3% of the money in the world is bound to real money. The loans are not bound on production, but on buildings and stocks. Buildings are easy to regulate. Because why is one house 50.000$ more expensive than a year ago?
Politicians. Politicians and CEO are the same. They want power, and power is control of you and me. Politicians make surveys so they can adjust their politics to what you want. No great visions for the future – just power.
Monotheists. (Jews, Christians and Muslims) do I need to say more?
