#Money, the interesting thing about it is if you #exist in #poverty, you desperately need it for your day to day survival, then if your on the opposite end as in being a multi million or billionaire in reality money means nothing, because everything you own and do is leveraged off of debt that you one don't actually own and second can never actually satisfy, and the rules of the game are very different for those in poverty, and the rules are slightly different if your in the middle, but if your on top, the rules don't apply to you unless somehow your generation and hoarding of wealth imposes upon another top income holder, basically if your in poverty all the way to the bottom end of double digit millions, your beholden to the entire state if it where, and beyond that the entire state apparently is beholden to you and your ability to leverage debt, it is a rigged system of epic inequality and strongly embraces prejudice against the rest of us whom simply would appreciate the basics in life to be readily available without so much turmoil, and stress to our mental and physical wellbeing, money is an illusion of power and has left far to many of us going hungry, literally;

#PalestineDeepDive interviews #MattKennard on what he knows about #AndyBurnham & his conduct in parliament. he will be a worse #PrimeMinister than #KidStarver.

A quotation from Madeleine L'Engle
When I find myself hotly defending something, when I am, in fact, zealous, it is time for me to step back and examine whatever it is that has me so hot under the collar. Do I think it’s going to threaten my comfortable rut? Make me change and grow? — and growing always causes growing pains. Am I afraid to ask questions?
Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) American writer
Speech (1983-11-16), “Dare To Be Creative,” Lecture, Library of Congress, Washington, DCMore about this quote: wist.info/lengle-madeleine/828…

Totalitarianism begins in contempt for what you have. The second step is the notion: “Things must change — no matter how, Anything is better than what we have.” Totalitarian rulers organize this kind of mass sentiment, and by organizing it articulate it, and by articulating it make the people somehow love it.
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Interview (1973-10) with Roger Errera, Office de Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française (ORTF)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/arendt-hannah/44768/

A quotation from #Pratchett, Terry:
«««««
The suggestion that the world could be completely other than it is always annoys those who are content with the way things are. #Stories of #imagination tend to upset those without one. #Rulers are suspicious of new worlds where their writ does not run. #Jailers don’t like #escapism.

Hi Shans,If you live in #Australia, Growing For Broke (2015?) by the late Peter North is a must-read.
We speak in the language of #ConvivialSufficiency. The way we can achieve this is by "Getting #NEOeD", which may involve punching upwards at those perpetrating the #statusQuo.
