The images prove an undeniable reality: climate change is a fact and produces catastrophes around the world.
It is necessary to think how capitalists think. If climate catastrophes destroy cities, they need to be rebuilt and that means building construction is heating up; if there is no private funding for reconstruction, public funding to do this will be needed.
Climate change means an opportunity for new profits and the rebirth of the Keynesian economy.
Climate change is a product of the action of capitalists that reinforces the worst characteristic of capitalism: the extraction of profit from disgrace.
Remember: the 30 golden years of European capitalism only came about because Europe was totally devastated by World War II.
How we will be able to break this cycle of value creation from destruction is a big mystery.
Where we see problems, capitalists see business. Where we see suffering, they see profits. Where we see disruption (war, natural catastrophe, whatever), they see the reinforcement of capitalist logic. Where we see death, they see rebirth.
The world upside down is seen as if it were inverted. And the mirrored reality created by the reflection of the world was the only real thing. Is capitalism a kind of cognitive disease?
The Satanic Doctor Capitalism
Not only do they see it as opportunity to increase their capital gains but as opportuity to get rid of the unwanted inhabitants of the world. When the common serfs are gone what will they do then?
The whole capitalist system is based on short-term thinking, competition and greed.
