    Vielleicht weil sie sozusagen Brüder im Geiste waren?! 🤔
    Er hasst, was sie hassten, und
    er liebt, was sie liebten, oder?
    #Despoten, #Rentiers, #Fossilisten unter sich.

    Was ist da schon für ein Unterschied, bloß weil sie unterschiedliche Heilige Bücher für ihre Pläne und Phantasterei missbrauchen?

  2. This is an extremely important observation. A wake-up call for anyone who is still credulous enough to keep tugging at their fraying bootstraps.

    We need a reset. We need ubi. We need reappropriation of the commons.

  3. You may have thought #HolidayInn was a #hotel company... think again:

    Intercontinental Hotel Group (IHG) who own HI & Crown Plaza brands actually own less than 1% of the hotels so branded... another third are run on service contracts for investors; the rest are franchises.

    IHG is essentially a brand manager, with some service contracts, but for the most part is benefiting from the rent on the Holiday Inn brand & fees for using centralised booking services...

    an everyday story of #rentiers?

  4. Whatever went on at #BritishVolt, the UK's lack of projected #battery capacity says something about our continuing failure to organise in sectors that involve anything other than opportunities for #rentiers (some would argue BritishVolt's problems stem from its existence as a farm for taxpayer support)... we need to invest in the future not in our elites' pleasures & profits
