                                                                By- A western mammal with a large cortex interfacing with a keyboard made in China

                                                                OK, first off something I have blogged about in depth is green consumerism and its pitiful synthesis of environmentalism and materialism, how it is merely a way to prolong corporate domination of our lives in a morally moronic liberal cop-out sort of way. Now the so called "Guardian news" (yeah guarding who?) is trying to say that people who lean towards environmentalism are "mean" on the basis of a misinterpreted study conducted by compartmentalized members of the academic industry (social psychologists). This is part of an ongoing attempt by the people who are not affected by our environmental impact (the rich) to demonize environmentalists (not global warming enthusiasts, or useful idiots but REAL environmentalists). They realize that any black mark on any aspect of the environmental movement is enough to make people disregard it and justify their ongoing lust for resources shipped to China and then sent back to be consumed in America then dejected into the pacific ocean, Its a part of the current ideological subversion taking place right now that I am not going to get into. When they start calling the people who own nothing selfish , that should raise the eyebrows of anyone of sound mind. Particularly when selfishness and being mean is what allowed the Guardian and other private news endeavours to be so successful. 


                                                                The Guardian selectively provides details of a study (*below) that claims to have found that people who shop green are more likely to steal in a subsequent task they are given, thus the Guardian felt the need to say this means green shoppers are mean, as we will see this wasn't even what was being studied in the research.

                                                                I agree with this article (the academic one) in that simply shopping green is hardly sufficient to consider oneself virtuos, they didn't even get into the issue of how green, supposed green products actually are. For example there is nothing that is totally organic anymore, and a toyota prius made to break down in 7 years is hardly going to have any positive impact, much less rationalizing our massive houses with eco-friendly light bulbs. Indeed some people use shopping green like they use church to sin, but that doesn't make them necessarily mean just that they are cognitive misers (imperfect beings at the whim of their conditioned thought processes)... The psychologists who conducted the study claim "Virtuous acts can license subsequent asocial and unethical behaviors". This makes perfect sense but it should also be included that...


                                                                The following was not contained in the guardian article:

                                                                "What the authors also found, however, was that simply being exposed to green products led to better ethical behaviour than did the act of purchasing green products, a phenomenon known as "priming."

                                                                In Mazar and Zhong's case, when people were "exposed" to the green grocery store but did not purchase any items from it, they shared substantially more money with the anonymous recipient."


                                                                The truth of the matter is that ones personality isn't what is having an effect (i.e. ones views on environmentalism perse) but the actual process of moral balancing that occurs when we do one good deed, and feel that we have earned the right to do a bad deed afterwards ( a reminder of the Buddhist in all of us), in addition to the subtle psychological sway of cognitive processes like priming. This means that the same principle would apply to conventional shoppers should they be tested at one of their own "moral" activities. The study itself was very thought provoking and investigated moral rationalization more so then something specific to environmentalism or green shoppers, the medias twist on it was BS as usual, but they need to better classify types of greens, and also incorporate other types of moral activities which are considered more "extreme" and how these people may react after doing a good deed. 

                                                                Sorry for this lame ass academicrap, more cut throat smashery is on route to the comfort of your idiot box 2.0.

                                                                Here is a surprisingly less biased article from the National Post
                                                                http://www.nationalpost.com/life/footprint/story.html?id=2367474

                                                                Afterthoughts...
                                                                Is it only virtuous if its adhering to the socially acceptable practice of shopping green? Who said shopping green was virtuous? What about the guys chaining themselves to whaling boats? What would the results for them be if they participated in this study? What about the people who grow their own food? Why not parce out the participants a little better and classify them as green liberals, and green conservatives, green libertarians etc. then look for differences. Many of these people could have shopped green because they are worried about their own health, which is indeed a selfish act (many who lean towards the right eat local organic food because they are worried about overblown anomalies like Morgellans, bump cancer!!!), whereas those on the left may do so because its actually eco-friendly (whether or not its for their own well being is an endless argument really). I mean what does shopping green entail, buying anything that says on it that its green and organic? Is that a prerequisite to being a greener? These are important questions that these researchers (more precisely the media agencies who twist this) will need to elaborate on in the future because there isn't just one type of green shopper, but many. Some do it out of fear, some out of love.

                                                                Its fine to critique greensumption as summed up in the video below, but to go to the extent of claiming that people are mentally unbalanced or mean is a blatant misinterpration of the study. I expect nothing less from mainstream media, and am not sure why I logged this or anything for that matter.

                                                                Environmental Meddling Can Offset Consequence of Environmental Meddling

                                                                In the spirit of making matters worse, a gameplan has been proposed to tackle the issue of the receding icecaps and increased global temperatures in attempt popularize the notion of impending doom if we dont bow to the "unified global taxation regime" to be devised in its name. Many believe global warming  is a product of a natural cycle of the sun, considering human contribution to global Co2 has been estimated at about 3%, among other notable facts. As I have said before I believe that the global warming debate is overshadowing the more explicable issues related to our environment. Obama's science adviser (s) have proposed an alternative to changing our over consumptive, depressing lifestyles. Simply, add a bunch of pollutants to the atmosphere to reflect the suns light. Right. Some proposals even suggesting putting objects in outer space which would reflect the suns light.

                                                                Thankfully this is being proposed as a last resort. As if it hadn't  already been thoroughly proven that any anthropogenic approach to dealing with ecological issues inevitably backfires. Whether its treeplanting, species introduction or the like, our meddling with the natural ecosystem cannot possibly work, as too many other variables are not proportionately adjusted. This is a plan that is not very likely to be implemented, as it would be too controversial, particularly with deep ecologists, its just put their to intensify our fears, religiously.

                                                                That said, the ice caps are melting, and if you can afford one of the fuel efficient cars that are purposely made unaffordable then by all means!

                                                                Western nations must depopulate the world that isnt exceeding its consumption limits so it can

                                                                "We need to CONTINUE to decrease the growth rate of the global population; the planet cant support any more people"

                                                                Oh... so let me get this straight an American political adviser has confessed that a depopulation agenda is and has been underway on mainstream media, and no one contemplates what this means? Sounds about right I reckon. One shouldn't care to ask how America (a country with no official depopulation policy of its own asides its vilification of octomom) would be involved with a global population agenda... Much less the fact that the large majority of destructive ecological practices serve the ends of multinational business interests, whose ownership is by and large western.

                                                                Considering India consumes 1/30th as much as the average 'westerner' (fuck I hate this word), and African poverty isn't even on the map, perhaps the headline should read western consumption exceeds environmental limits. But clearly this wouldn't be conducive to the fake economies fantasy of endless growth.

                                                                Its humans that are the scourge, and not their behaviors, attitudes and beliefs... FAIL!

                                                                Corporate media has endorsed a book called "Hungry Planet", using excerpts of the photography by Peter Menzel to contrast the various standards of living amongst the hominid species. The segment was ideal for TIME magazine, who will of course capitalize on any safe opportunity to appear as liberal as possible, so to continue to be misperceived as the voice of truth by people who have long since rationalized the efficiency in being told what they want to hear. Mainstream media is fully aware that between working full time mindless jobs and possessing a socio-political lethargy born out of decades of degenerate pop culture and shitty music that global corruption and injustice will likely go on unfettered. This will persist in even the most obvious of instances, thanks to our inability to unite for a common purpose due to 100 billion websites, and anonymous bloggers (such as this one) who offer varying perspectives on the problem while offering no solutions whatsoever!!! But what the fuck else is there to do! Hopefully the following article encourages more subsidized aid to 'developing' countries that will make them entirely dependent on that which got them into the mess in the first place!

                                                                WARNING!!!

So don't organize anyone to do this, it could be considered hateful to countries who like using their populations as lab rats to test there new weapons... And that clearly isn't fair! Anyone engaging in this behavior will be likely arrested and detained indefinitely without reason and tortured until they confess that they love Osama, and hate Jesus.

                                                                Its a well known fact that African-Americans in the US consume more unhealthy foods, but before we use the reasoning skills we acquired from Fox news, we should perhaps investigate the statistically backed claim that they are disproportionately marketed food that will lead to health problems, which works out great for the American privatized health care system, and maybe the odd eugenicist too!

                                                                As zombified westerners trudge through the emptying aisles, they suppress the fact that almost every product they consume has involved the labour of thousands of people around the globe. The process of devouring the earth has been structured largely around American consumption; goods produced for low wages in 2nd world countries, using resources sourced from the sub equator darker skinned 3rd world countries.

                                                                Americans who have longed for jobs that were outsourced, and not profit sharing, and enlightened capitalism, will be happy to know that the factories will soon move back in order to make products for the up and coming consumerism of China! Similarly millions in China continue to protest the closing of slave driving factories they have grown dependent on. Mexico, Turkey, Indonesia, Argentina, Brazil, India, Serbia, Hungary Ukraine, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and numerous others are expected to suffer death by IMF, as already enslaved African nations who continue to be stripped of their resource wealth to make weapons and cell phones, welcome the company of their European counterpart’s misery.

Bought out Canadian media agencies whose headlines are sold to the highest bidder are saying people are “optimistically confident” about this shopping behavior, which translates into they have no fkn idea what is in store for their children.
