  1. I really hope they look into the finances of the 30+ freaks who jumped in on that Clacton-On-Sea byelection racket, who is paying Laurence Fox to be there?

  3. @gimulnautti Don't sell #TechBros and #FossilFuels #Oligarchs short. Most of them are very well aware of the luxury profits during the 99%'s demise, and even have luxury bunkers for their offspring to eventually reemerge.

    You're #Capitalism #greed bait.

  5. For Jennie Cage’s “Life, take two!”: “The New Status Symbol Is NOT Looking Rich”

    The new fashion of the #oligarchs is to cosplay as the #workingClass, wearing their superficial take on our lives as an aesthetic is a gaslighting attempt at social camouflage.

    The #oligarchy is getting scared. Good. Let’s keep the progress going.

    Republican’ts are forever trying to suppress the vote because Republicans do not respect the Will Of The People. Republican’ts favor an #Oligarchy. Republican’ts are sock puppets of #Oligarchs. The #GOP represents everything currently wrong in America.

  9. @dantheclamman It's astounding how few saw the 'profit first' coalition, when the #TechBros and #FossilFuels #Oligarchs gathered for the US administration's inauguration.

    And now #DecmocraticSocialism may be too late to fill the 'middle void' that the overextended #duopoly has created. Such a brazen act of abuse - absolutely despicable.

  11. "Progress" means perverting the minds of the young with the thoughts of the #SiliconValley #oligarchs via their #AI.

    Since they are behind the wheel you can bet your sweet bippy that they'll take advantage of your kids. We are talking about the #Epstein class here.

    They would watch us all die and do nothing to help us, so spare me your "ooo, guillotines are going a bit far" crap and get some self respect!

    "A ‘$20 burrito’ debate shows the right’s struggles with Trump’s economy

    A year and a half into Trump’s second term, what should they tell voters increasingly unhappy about rising inflation and sluggish job growth? "

  16. Charlie Brown tells it like it is… he’s got a point, but you knew that. The only ones who don’t acknowledge this truth are #Republicans and the #TrumpRegime. They are very content to make the #billionaires and #oligarchs richer. #economy #affordability

  18. Supposing the sub-disciples of philosophical dialogue were originally Dialectic and Rhetoric as a knowledge of philosophical dialogue cannot advance without a comprehension of them. Why then divide philosophy into metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics and logic presupposing the dogma of an empiricist nomenclature?

    Answer: To control the direction and minds of the youth, so explaining why the oligarchs executed Socrates as he gave them the dialectic method so they could be free from dogmatic systems of naming! If Aristotle found a way to further undermine the oligarchs abuse of power, it can, and is still being done today. Their time is coming to an end. #philosophy #dialectic #rhetoric #metaphysics #epistemology #ethics #aesthetics #logic #oligarchs #Socrates #Aristotle

    An interesting comparison. One which hadn’t occured to me. #Nazi #Fascism is a lot closer in historical terms and I stopped there because, well.. because fascist says all there is to say about #Oligarchs , #NeoLiberalism and the #TrumpAdministration.

    I enjoyed reading your piece though and I recognised the parallels
    Thanks

  22. #Senate passes #Russia #sanctions bill named in honor of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham [who for whatever else he was, believed in the importance of defending #Ukraine.]

    The package would place mandatory sanctions on top figures in the Russian government, including #Putin, as well as Russian #oligarchs, state-owned enterprises & foreign companies supporting Russia’s defense industrial base.

  24. Growing up, I was always told to mock #socialism as a form of utopianism, as if that was a bad thing. #Utopianism was never a belief that something would happen, or that anything would be perfect. It was a thought experiment to consider what a perfect outcome would look like, so we could implement the ideas and get as close as possible. Meanwhile, #capitalism , #conservatism , #liberalism , and #libertarianism are just as #utopian in their dreams. Capitalism and libertarianism believe that if we JUST get government out of the way, we could have the #freemarkets work the way they are supposed to and lead to prosperity for all, never mind that corporations only exist because of #bankruptcy laws and standards created by Congress. Modern conservatism believes that if we just went back to a specific, unspecified time point when religion ruled, we would have prosperity again, never mind that America was never like that, even when we were at our most religious. #Liberals believe that if freedom, equality, and equity are guaranteed, but with a true free market that does require governments to regulate it, we would have true prosperity. The only difference is that #Marx , using arguments by #AdamSmith himself, poked holes in all of these ideas at their core. That the structure itself needed an overhaul of who holds power, or at least patched with a strong welfare state, and to work toward that utopian dream where the people held the power instead of the lords or #oligarchs and everyone was a lawmaker with direct democracy, there was a return of #thecommons that was just the norm for most of human history, and #personalproperty was something you physically used, erned and worked instead of from trading, hoarding and wasting while people starved aka #privateproperty . The day the lords stole the commons from the people was the day that socialism started to exist, with the Diggers and the Levelers attempting to take on the power of the lords and realizing they already ran their own villages, or communes and affairs in their areas, and the lords were just a middleman that contributed little to nothing. Hence the term #communism , which is a return to the natural commons people like #John Locke and #Voltaire and other #Enlightenment thinkers idealized, but capitalism has brainwashed people to ignore, forget, or never know in the first place they believed this while we were told to look up to them. Utopianism gives us the power to dream, to coalesce our ideas and our ideals. When we were told not to dream of our ideal world but were told to dream of their ideal, that's when the dream died and we just all became doomers.

  26. RE: masto.ai/@rbreich/117053403211

    From this article by Robert Reich about the Incredible Shrinking American Middle Class:

    'A half-century ago, America had the largest middle class in the history of the nation and of the world.

    - America’s huge middle class has become a small shadow of what it once was. The bottom 90% are struggling to make ends meet. The top 0.01% holds an increasing portion of all wealth.

    - Today the great divide is not between left and right. It’s between democracy and oligarchy.

  28. Noooo! Say it ain't so!! The #SiliconValley #oligarchs doing #MassSurveilance, industrial espionage, governmental espionage and socio-economic manipulation?! That's just crazy...

    Except they did all that, even before #AI. Let me repeat: it's not AI that's the problem. It's the AI your dumbass chooses to use cus you're ignorant of their history.

  33. theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2. Was any of the "dodgy money" in #London belonging to to the #Russian #mafia seized? No. Were any of the Russian #oligarchs living in London #expelled? Not at the time, no. Dawn Sturgess died unavenged, & those #GRU #agents went unpunished.

  34. There's that man again, Jared Kushner, destroying everything that people enjoy, from World Cup Football to Gaming.

    Brilliant idea letting parasites run the world, let's all lie back and enjoy the plunder, yes? /s
