Capitalism didn’t give us the internet, internet was funded by the taxpayers & developed in the public sector for decades before it was spun off by Big Tech oligarchs to make a fortune on, capitalism gave us paywalls, video ads & pop up screens which make the experience miserable

There are now 2,900 billionaires, and they hold $15.8 trillion.

The wealth of the bottom 50% of the global population, over 4 billion people, is estimated at $3.7 trillion.

In a sane world, the government guilty of committing genocide would be dismantled, and forced to pay reparations. Instead they are allowed to corral their victims into a concentration camp and steal their land. We live in the most obscene of all possible timelines.

Why is the priority of the economy not to house the homeless and ensure everyone has good healthcare?

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

If I were Lord Emperor of America I would simply design an economic system where housing price do NOT rise faster than salaries always and forever.

It is absolutely mind-boggling that I woke up today in the world’s worst natural experiment: what happens to a society when the entirety of a state’s public goods infrastructure is ripped out by the roots and replaced solely by the infrastructure of state violence.

The US attack on Iran was unprovoked and illegal, done in cooperation with a regime that is currently perpetrating a genocide, whose leader is wanted by the International Criminal Court. That is the world we are in.

No country has ever been destroyed by migrants just wanting a better life for their family.

Many though have been destroyed by authoritarianism and fascism.

It's cool how during a period when the wealth divide is greater than almost any other time in history, Republicans are still just like "not enough!! More money for the rich!"

There truly is no upper limit until one asshole owns the entire earth apparently.

Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

Capitalism didn't give us the internet.

Large-scale cooperation, open protocols, and free software gave us the internet. Capitalism gave us mobile sites that don't work because fifteen ads cover the screen.

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

Happy May Day!

To all who labour - in factories, farms, sweatshops; in formal & informal economies, waged & unwaged & underwaged; sex workers, Palestinian workers; land defenders; those labouring to grow communities. For a world w/o bosses & precarity and where all labour is valued & life affirming

"Lazy" is a term capitalists use to describe anyone who (1) refuses to be exploited by them, or (2) refuses to join them in exploiting others.
