y4z4s: Yann’s Speech Across the world, mentalities aspire to free market and increased liberalism. Its adepts defend the liberation of goods, equal rights, the development of aids, and of course the multiplication of riches. A world overflowing with opportunities where all of your dreams become reality. Amazing, isn’t it? Technically yes, but only for a small portion of people. For the huge majority, which by the way represents over half of the world’s population, the capitalist system only means one thing: suffering and death. So while we are living blissfully unaware while gorging on cheap consumer goods, the more destitutes busy themselves in factories, these labour camps of modern times. Wages go down, days grow longer, trade unions are gagged, and of course working conditions are deplorables. So before we congratulate ourselves on our liberty and our riches and our compulsive shopping, shouldn’t we remember one thing or two? Like that our excessive consumer society rests on the shoulders of the Peruvian coffee beans farmers, that our clothes wear the tears of the Chinese workers, and that the cheap food that we stuff our faces with was produced by underpayed Indian minors? This so-called happiness to which we cling to so much is only an illusion. Unfortunately the materials used to build it are very real. SKAM France (season 1, episode 1, clip 1) -- source link
