Has anyone else noticed how politicians and pundits keep going on about the ‘cost of living crisis’? As if we are all in this together. The rich and even the reasonably off middle class are not in any crisis. It’s not a cost of living crisis it’s a poverty crisis caused by capitalism. Say it how it is. #Poverty #CostOfLiving #Capitalism

With our greed, wars and complete disregard for the environment humanity will be extinct pretty soon. Our only real home is if AI takes over and saves us. #AI #War #Capitalism #Climate #Environment

This is so obvious that only Liberals cannot see it.
"the Liberal messaging on the impact on travel costs is “slightly disingenuous,” [ie. the Liberals are lying]
"For private operators to make the Montreal, Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary airport concessions work, he says, they’ll have to cut capital investment or raise fees."

"...The profligate consumption of today’s consumer societies is not necessary for a fulfilling life...We could recognize the predicament we’re in—there's no way for 8 billion people in high-energy high-tech societies to live sustainably—and agree to down-power. In practice, we don’t. No society knows how to overcome the grip of “things that once possessed could not be done w/out..."

@stevebenen On a tangent here, but if we are out of #capitalism and enters #technofeudaliam as @VaroufakisDE posits, can we then still correctly enviosn #commumism or #socialism as the way towards it, as the way out? What's the #utopia in tech feudalism?

Governments have supercomputer programs. The US houses them in the Department of Energy at various labs. I don't understand why #AI can't be managed in the same way, except #capitalism.

*** How to stop billionaires buying your politics. ***
U.K. edition but relevant everywhere:
- individual donation limits ~10% average disposable income
- cover all spending, not just election spending
- just ban organisational donations, obviously corporations, sorry unions, need to keep this simple

We are in a battle for our lives, and that's not hyperbolic. All life on this planet is in jeopardy because of the greed of the system of capitalism. It wasn't socialism that made the oil industry cover up for decades how their product was destroying our climate.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@fj/117274646059939937
After white supremacist Stefan Molyneux was banned from YouTube in 2020, he moved to the extremely right video platform Rumble.
Rumble is the "YouTube for Nazis". The company behind it, the Rum Group, is aligned with Trump.
And now Anthropic made a nearly 14 billion USD deal with them.
Perplexity similarly made a deal with Trump's "Truth" Social.
Every "AI" company is directly collaborating with Nazis. And every employer in my industry is changing their entire business model to become "AI-first" while you have to argue with clueless, ignorant centrists about the alleged usefulness of "AI". It's so fucking tiring.
You cannot use LLMs without empowering Nazis. It's obvious that the CEOs of said employers don't care, but it would be great if at least the workers didn't brush this fact aside.

@floridamarx 🎯 It also preloads them with rationalizations & justifications for what "doesn't count as a cost" & therefore doesn't have to be subtracted from the resulting profit.
Of course, these "externalized costs" Re often actually socialized losses & costs passed onto the general population, that is excluded from amy of the profits. Especially if they never are taxed or insufficiently so.
What do you think @FantasticalEconomics ?

Do you ever wonder why a tire company became the go-to source for #restaurant ratings?
Of course it’s based in #capitalism & impacting tire / #car consumer demand.

You know what? Who gives a fuck what celebrities think about Israel and Palestine?
Seriously. I've been seeing people sharing lists of celebrities who are pro-Palestine and celebrities who are pro-Israel. And I'm just sitting here thinking: Who gives a fuck? Why are we treating celebrities like they're the fucking deciding factor in this conflict? I don't care whether a celebrity is pro-Palestine. I don't care whether they're pro-Israel. I don't care whether they refuse to talk about it. And honestly, I'm skeptical that every celebrity who has suddenly picked a side […] -
Is always interesting to understand the views that the pin-up boy of the Rewilding and Environmentalist movement in the UK aligns with, when it comes to liberation movements like that of Palestine, or the fight back against Genocide.
This is a very wealthy, Eton educated English financier and environmentalist.

I had to change my FB profile to professional bc I wanted to keep the followers. So now Im getting this pop up asking 'had I thought of running an ad in messenger...'. For what? "Hey Im a superb person, chat to me now!". Ridiculous. In the US, the whole trip is to grift, to hustle. All the time, to everyone. This is what we are being forced to adopt by bigtech socmed. The Big Hustle. But I dont want to hustle, I just want to be friendly.

Texas' Republican legislators & governor just made cannabis possession a felony after 70% of Texans voted to fully legalize it. One big possible reason is that the private prisons in Texas aren't getting enough prisoners to keep profits up.
In the early 00s private prison lobbyists canvassed towns along the US-Mexico border, telling town leaders to elect far-right Republican reps who would make unlawful entry ("illegal immigration") a felony instead of a status offense (like a parking ticket), which it had been for over a century. They promised that doing this would allow them to build private prisons in the town, which would hold the newly-defined felons, and that this would bring jobs to the area.
Fuck #PrivatePrisons, fuck the #GOP, and fuck US-style #capitalism
