    * What kind of capitalism is possible in a world of limited resources? Arnaud Orain
    "Adapted to a world of limited resources, this "capitalism of finitude" seeks to privatize and militarize the seas and territories, impose high prices, consolidate resource "silos," and reserve exclusive markets. Drastically reducing our energy consumption is one alternative to this authoritarian capitalism, but the means to protect it remain unclear.' >>

  6. in contrast, Takers say

    ...#divide and #conquer...

    and then say they listen to god

  7. @adamvs1 You have to ask yourself: Why is she so motivated to #divide and #conquer #Canada while, at the same time, sucking up to the GOP / MAGA cultists in the USA?

    One seems related to the other.

  8. "If you believe not having enough people is your main constraint, you will tend to divide and conquer; if you believe integration problems are your main constraint, you will tend to conquer and divide."

  9. #Israel #Syria #Lebanon #conquer #destroy #settlers

    The #Nachala movement — led by Daniella Weiss, who has been spearheading efforts in recent months to resettle #Gaza — expressed a similar sentiment in a post on Facebook: “Whoever still thinks it’s possible to leave our fate in the hands of a foreign actor — forsakes Israel’s security!” it said. “Jewish settlement is the only thing that will bring about regional stability and security for the State of Israel, along with a stable economy, national resilience, and deterrence.

  10. “The evolution of cooperation required out-group #hatred, which is really sad,” said Nicholas Christakis, a Yale sociologist

    This is just as true on today’s political stage. There are two major parties, and their contests are viewed as zero-sum outcomes.

    #Win or #lose.

    The presidency is the ultimate example: There are no consolation prizes for the loser.

    No researcher argues that human nature is the sole, or even the primary, cause of today’s #polarization.

    But savvy political operatives can exploit, leverage and encourage it.
    And those operatives are learning from their triumphs in #divide-and-#conquer politics.

    Here’s where psychology gives way to political science.

    The American political system may cultivate “out-group” hatred, as academics put it.

    🔹One of the scarce resources in this country is political #power at the highest levels of government. 🔹

    The country has no parliamentary system in which multiple parties form governing #coalitions.

    Add to this fact 🔹#redistricting that ensures there are fewer truly #competitive congressional races.🔹

    The two parties have inexorably moved further apart ideologically, and leaders are more likely to be punished — “#primaried” — if they reach across the aisle.

    And because many more districts are now 🔹deeply red or blue, 🔹rather than a mix of constituencies, House members have fewer reasons to adopt moderate positions.

  11. Less than 72 hours before the next great #production #cutover.

    We’ve done the #dryRun several times. We have documents, #playbooks (#Ansible and otherwise), and #pullrequests. (We had past pull requests that were specifically about making our current pull requests easier!) We have #troubleshooting scenarios queued up. We’ve got the work items on our #board. Not much left to do but #divide and #conquer.

    I hope the rest of the #enterprise is as well-#prepared as my #team are.

  12. Set your intentions in fire and in bubble baths - then go forth and do epic sh*t. (“f” bombs optional but should always be conjugated correctly)

  13. On every season of #Survivor, on one or more occasions, one of the contestants finds themselves on the wrong side of a vote. They succeed in staying in the game, by using what has become central GOP strategy:

    They spread lies and rumors to set two of the more powerful players against each other. The more powerful players repeatedly fall for this gossip ruse, and turn on each other.

    How is it that humans have been living in civilization for more than 10,000 years and this #divide and #conquer shit still works?

    We've got several situations that fall into this category going on right now. But there's one in particular that needs to be called out:

    In #Texas, long years of #privatization and neglect of the power #grid have once again resulted in winter power failures and senseless suffering. Yet Governor #Abbott (who inexplicably just got reelected) instead of fixing the problem is bussing helpless refugees across the country in freezing temperatures to try to embarrass vice president #Kamala Harris, while at the same time his attorney general #Paxton is trying to scapegoat and harass #trans people.

    When do the people of Texas quit playing "shitty Survivor" and hold these bastards accountable for actually governing their state?

  14. Ever played Command & Conquer: Renegade? There is a fan-made remake called Renegade X.
    Ever played Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun?
    Developers of Renegade X are making it an FPS/RTS hybrid
