Everyone's shocked because they filmed it being destroyed under your eyes, and you use very hard words....like if it were something "unusual"...
OK......I agree with the insults...fully deserved.
BUT
Let me tell you, that actually, I don't consider them any different of all those people that moving to a new house and or emptying the Grandmama house simply send a full lot of vintage quality and still fully functional items them to the crasher....
Why? Because they're old....
Old... many many people, especially the younger ones, who most than others tends to follow the trends dictated by this consumistic society who like never before relies on apparence and "image" (image that is not even fruit of people's will, but of what they tell you should have as image) rather than content, so following fashion as status symbol and associate their identity to that, you don't have an Iphone? You have an avocado or cream Kitchen aid superba? and not a new Silvery one your new kitchen? You are an alien! This is the reasoning of good puppets of today, and that I think is one of the major causes for economic disaster western world is living today, while eastern world is getting richer and richer. Old... they use this word as a synonim of worth nothing, either because they have no knowledge and not even have skills or brain power to determine the value of something, in appliances as for cars etc... You see that in most of the things of today, these are the ones happy with their new fashion steel kitchens and plastic china junk as long as they have a LCD display and lots of trinkets "space ship- like" of dubious usefulnes even though, not doing the job they're supposed to...and substantially being a piece of plastic that will last few years at best....not nearly comparable to the quality of the things of old.
To understand the beauty, that is not only in the long-gone style of vintage things but also for materials and quality you gotta have intelligence and knowledge, that these people miss....
If you think of it:
In today's difficult economy, and tendency, let's say fashion, because this is also a fashion, to go always more "green", the re-use and second hand, following a logical reasoning should be the norm ...but it isn't....
Why? because as for everything today it is just a fashion basing on the appearance of something, rather than results and factual things... with the goal to let the big ones make money...
I am not sure till what point, all the cospirations theories, are right or wrong, I mean...that there's someone up there who's deciding the sorts of the world and countries....and that now the East (China etc) is the chosen one to become the new world power...
BUT....
It's also true that all what we are living, all what they tell us to do...TV, medias and economy trends in general just benefit them....following a logical reasoning, if a country would like to really protect it's market and economy as for the enviroinment...would rather chose to enhance second hand to benefit internal economy and avoid tons of good stuff to go the crusher, well...they wanna make money..okay...at least they'd avoid china stuff to be imported?
I mean....they keep telling us our cars are pollutioning the world, our factories are serverely taxed and billions are spent (from the our own factories pockets) to mitigate their alleged pollutioning, workers safety etc, producing costs are rising rather than decreasing, this while china keeps doing the hell they want, they can turn rivers Red, pink, blue every color they want with factories waste, nuclear power plants and parterships with russia are increasing, this while in Europe they wanna shut them down, people there needs to go around with mask in the foggy smog cities, nobody controls on how they're pollutioning our world and conditions workers work down there....not to mention, the direct damage to our companies and economy, like all the knock-offs and or stuff not respecting safety regulations and actually not marked safe by control organism, so lacking the most basical safety norm for quality and materials used, merchandise imported "under the counter" by several criminal organizations, and distribuited and sold in chinese bazaars/dollar shop in which nobody goes to check...
If a country really care about pollutioning would avoid chinese imports...no? NO! Indeed, more and more economic agreements are made with China that favors their economy rather than ours, every day... you see it every day....think of it.
Where is planet conservation, people's safety in all this?
Well, here I am going really too poltical for the forum that is......and I excuse myself...
But little things like this are just food for thoughts about the world and society in which we are living today...
For my new house I decided to purchase the most of things second hand, and avoid buying new stuff of which the most would likely come from China etc... on the other hand this is what I am doing since I live on my own...
I think I am doing the difference....the one that matter.
