I have friends everywhere. Don't look up. Our seeming democracy is really plutocracy. Smash capitalism. Opposed to fossil fuels, nukes, plutocracy, ICE. Trump is even worse than the Democrats. Leaflet: https://leftymathprof.wordpress.com/endcap/#top

Climate change will kill us all (even the rich) unless we all start collaborating soon. That requires a big cultural change, like more empathy. It would be reflected in our economic system, like abolish money and share everything.
Around 15 years ago I was saying things like
(*) we need to end capitalism, not just for all the reasons that the Marxists talk about, but also because capitalism is about to destroy the climate and kill us all.
* didn't really catch on back then. But just lately lots of people have been saying *.

So, below is EU President von der Leyen saying that the EU is "not fighting fossil fuels, only emissions."
And here is the Saudi envoy to COP30 saying exactly the same thing.
I'm telling you: climate politics are unified around the lie that we can keep fossil fuels & still deal w climate anyway.

Some Democrats recently reminded the military that they are legally obligated to disobey any illegal orders they are given. But we've had many, many wars, all of them illegal, all of them based on bipartisan lies by congress. The plutocracy LIKES (and profits from) wars.

I'm hoping for a great awakening in which all of our society realizes bullying is bad, and the bullies decide to turn over a new leaf. But I have to admit, "hoping" does not sound like a particularly forceful strategy.

Our military members must understand: at Nuremberg, German officers and soldiers who hid behind the “just following orders” excuse were held accountable. Many were imprisoned. Many were executed. That precedent is iron law. Those who murdered innocent brown fishermen are condemned. Don’t join them.

When Trump was murdering people of Venezuela and other Latin American countries, no one in congress said anything to stop him. But when Trump said "now let's kill the Democrats," the Democrats said "wait, what?"

Senator Murphy sounds the alarm as Trump calls for the deaths of Dems who served the country to be killed for reminding the military their loyalty is to the constitution not to him 🇺🇸

"War" sounds 2-sided, and so it's not a suitable word for what has been done to Palestine. But what word can replace it? "Massacre" sounds sufficiently 1-sided, but somehow it sounds smaller than "war." Maybe we'll have to call it "holocaust." What other word would you suggest?

Trump is so frustrating! Before he came along, I felt I was making progress on my anticapitalism project. I was happy with attacking Democrats for being too far to the right. But Trump is so much farther to the right, I need a whole new perspective.

New article from me about the Marshall Islands becoming the first country with a Universal Basic Income, what the details are, how it came to be, and what may come next.
Side note: It's hard to express how big a deal this is, especially for me personally. I hope this is the first of many dominoes.

The Marshall Islands Just Quietly Implemented the First National Universal Basic Income (UBI)
How the Marshall Islands built the first nationwide universal basic income, funded by a US-capitalized Compact Trust Fund, and what it means for UBI everywhere.

I kept saying to myself, "a president doesn't behave this way, so it must be temporary, surely he'll be gone soon." But that hasn't worked.

Fifth Amendment: "No person shall be ... nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law..."
It says "person," not "citizen." As far as I can see, Trump's street thugs are violating the constitution.

Maybe the reason Trump is getting away with so many crazy ideas is because a lot of us simply said "that's crazy, that can't last, that's just temporary, after we remove Trump from office we'll just put things back the way they were." Admittedly, I wanted much bigger changes than ... [continued]

Joshua Hill blames the pedo epidemic on capitalism (see link). I blame capitalism for most of the evils in this world, but that one hadn't occurred to me. And why is there so little talk about the genocides?
