Not interested in what this zionist who believes in unscientific fairy tales (no evidence for anything in sapies, the opposite)

Author did a huge rationalizing that they’re working on an useless BS job (according to the david graeber definition). It is ok in capitalism to just do your job and maximize income but there’s no need to lie to yourself that the work is useful please!

This is just what Lenin said about monopolistic capitalism. Free competition reduces profit rates which can’t happen in capitalism.

So it’s now becoming an extremism right space in 3…2…1…

Pretty clear this is a problem to be solved in a universal healthcare system where everyone works together to iterate in lockstep

Nothing like opening up Hinge to radicalize an individual!

Before AI, copyright was a way to increase profits for the ruling class, now with AI it’s disadvantageous to keep copyright to the detriment of the petite bourgeoisie (like artists and self-employed software engineers). It’s the rule in capitalism that big capital eats small capital leading to income concentration in fewer and fewer hands.

This is one example of ways that the US empire supports the economy of Israel (the 51st state). I would be very surprised if there isn’t a political element here.

Yeah, seems like everything is much worse off but somehow a higher dose of neoliberalism will definitely fix things, just give it more time

Just to point out that the reason why solar panel costs have been decreasing is because china as part of their 5-year plans set solar energy as a national priority and the world is now benefiting from their upfront investments and economies of scale. This is a clear datapoint towards economic planning for the green transition and rational management of natural resources.

As long as US imperialism exists, the US dollar will be reserve currency and the US will be able to print away problems. This is the exorbitant privilege the US has which is effectively extracting tribute from all international transactions in dollar.

That’s why I’m saying we shouldn’t care about voting anymore.

The solution at this point is getting to the streets, mass strikes. Civil disobedience.

The only way out is realizing that elections are not the only way to engage in democratic societies.

That means organizing: at work, neighborhoods, churches etc to protest against the upcoming attacks that will come. History has shown over and over again that elites don’t share power with the people out of the goodness of their hearts but because they fear the alternative (revolution). Anything else is BS.

This is super interesting! Can you share more info/resources?

I’m sure billionaires commit 1000 crimes a day (or do the unethical things that don’t qualify as crimes due to loopholes), they are just not prosecuted. What we often see is the criminalization of poverty.
