Remember, the best and most direct way to damage #billionaire oligarchs and the predatory corporations they control is DEMAND DESTRUCTION. That is also the best way to put a damper on #SurveillanceCapitalism and predatory practices in general. We CONSUMERS have the power, we just need to join together in a concerted and organized effort to use it. The way to use it is to stop or at least slow down on consumption - buying things. The proverbial ‘send a message with our pocketbooks’. You mad? Frustrated? Fed up with the way you’re being treated? Fight back. Curtail your buying…keep purchases to a minimum, just the essentials. That way, we starve the machine of the very air ($$) it needs to breathe. #capitalism #DemandDestruction #Consumers #ConsumerAction

Deux planchers ontiques, deux mondes de sens
L’incompréhension entre communautés sans État et centres capitalistes ne tient pas seulement à des intérêts opposés, mais à des planchers ontico-sociaux différents : commun comme forme de vie d’un côté, individualisme concurrentiel de l’autre. Lorsque la verticalité historique devient l’horizon naturel de l’être, l’idéologie totale est accomplie. #Ontology #Anthropology #Marxism #Mannheim #Commons #Capitalism #Coloniality…

@light @sj_zero However, quadratic funding is a nice non-market democratic mechanism that solves campaign finance issues that cause regulatory capture by making it so that number of people contributing to a campaign matters more than the total amount contributed to the political campaign.
People sometimes exaggerate causal role of #capitalism in some social problems, but it definitely does play a role in a lot of social problems.

"It’s the experience of being subject to the decisions of a ruling class that responds to every challenge with authoritarianism, greed, and the same levels of poise and wisdom as an inbred Pomeranian."

"In the four weeks ending in late June, prices in 61 food categories rose 3.4 percent from the same period a year earlier, while the volume of goods sold slid 2.1 percent"
Flim flam grocery sales! New! Improved! Surveillance! Pricing!

I am steadily noticing that #capitalism is moving towards #subscription based ownership. Meaning they want you to never really own anything and continuously pay for it. This pisses me off. We perpetually pay for something that we buy outright.
Mark my words: #Sony is going to require a subscription in addition to buying the console. It's not happened yet but you can be sure it's in the works.
Soon you will need to pay monthly for your car's entertainment system. It's fucking ridiculous.

@JeffC1956 focusing on doing small things to protect the climate, things that are rendered useless and insignificant by imperialist wars, transnationals, big corps wanting to drill the seas, rich people flying in private jets, clothing/fashion industry trashing unused clothes just to keep making profits, etc.
it is true everyone needs to take responsibility but don't be fool to think that will be enough, perhaps that is what "they" want you to think, that it is your fault and you can save the planet just recycling plastic or using a paper straw

In late-stage #capitalism, everything is a commodity and/or an investment opportunity?!

Fiat money is artificial. To earn it, one has to work for an artificial company. It is the hardship we choose. Hardship itself is artificial. We live in a world of artificial things. However, someone said that fiat money makes things easier. Therefore, this supports the claim that poverty is also artificial. Not a victim of poverty to be blamed.

The problem was never markets. It was when the architecture was rewired so value could only travel upward.

The Wired to Steal model depicts a self-reinforcing cycle through which systems of domination reproduce themselves. Greed drives the pursuit of power and control over land and resources. Societies are shaped through psychological conditioning, mobilizing fear, identity and selective privilege and rewards, which produce hierarchical social orders. These hierarchies are maintained through violence and coercion.

'Wahhhh...people are dying because of the rampant capitalism; that we are a part of, and which has fucked the planet - is causing people to die, and now we can't make as much money!'.
Just fuck off, You ghoulish fucking cunts!

“Climate damage would obliterate any economic benefits of new North Sea fields, analysis shows. Economic harm of CO2 pollution from Rosebank and Jackdaw forecast to far outweigh any boost to UK” Is this true for all oil production? Are we only drilling the stuff to make the rich richer with no real economic benefit for the rest of us? #Oil #Capitalism

Harry's Last Stand
The West Has Entered Its Last Orders Phase
JM Smith"I am running hard against a clock, ticking down to September, but I think I will complete the last touches for The Green and Pleasant Land on schedule. When Harry’s Last Stand began in March 2010, I didn’t realise it would consume the rest of my life."

8 Billion Junkies: The Addiction That Is Killing Civilisation
https://georgetsakraklides.substack.com/p/8-billion-junkies-the-addiction-thatThe ultimate parasite humans succumbed to was never heroin or dopamine, but something much more potent: #capitalism and all the addictive mythologies, hallucinations and corrosive sedatives that it daily injected straight into the central watering hole we all drink from. Capitalism is a pain-numbing cocktail of Class A drugs: euphoric consumer products numb the pain of unhappiness, dopaminogenic social media turn loneliness from an epidemic to a “current mood”, sedative salary packages mask the trauma of burnout, all the while as mind-altering sponsored morning news apply a rosy veneer to just about everything: from war and genocide to the climate crisis. Just drink the cool aid and don’t look up.

The aggressive #spiderman to dangerous social figures ratio is far too low.
This will end in pain. We’re simply choosing to fight from a worse position by refusing to fight now.

Rent an iPhone ?! Are you kitten me ?! This is the most disgusting, capitalistic thing I've ever seen in my entire life !!
Now we know why their logo is a once bitten, twice greedy apple. They've eaten themselves, much like the Ouroboros serpent.
