“When intelligence agencies need to quell civil unrest, they use a formula of confuse and control. I’m gonna explain to you exactly how that is playing out in connection to the shooting so that you are less likely to fall for their manipulation.”
This has been in the DNA of America since the very first European settlers. Wealth as a sign of God's approval.
Elon is a ketamine addict willing to double deal with anyone to get paid.
Conservatives, from their church pews, see his rapacious wealth as glorious.
Now, the wealthy are aligning with state and military. Very dark days ahead.
0.01% people like Elon Musk are a threat to global stability, the environment, democracy, and our continued ability to function as a society built for regular people. For example, he just donated 100 million to Nigel Farrage, in an apparent attempt to buy political influence in the UK. This is the death of the rule of law and the death of democracy. These people are deadly predators and WE are their prey. And they will hunt and kill with impunity if we let them.
In all my life, no one has managed to explain to me convincingly how this economic system is supposedly the best and only viable option when:
it puts personal gain ahead of our collective well-being, teaching our children that competition is the driving force of society, leading to symptoms like selfishness, fear, mistrust, anxiety and depression
it allegedly requires billionaires as well as hand-to-mouth paupers in order to function, creating a huge and increasing disparity of personal wealth between a rich minority and a poor majority
it can only be maintained through non-stop growth, although we already produce too much of just about everything, waste a good chunk of it and even pay some sectors (e.g. agriculture) to destroy part of their yield
it damages nature beyond repair and ruins many people's lives through poor living conditions and a toxic race for material possessions
it mortgages our future by borrowing and spending money we do not even have, with every nation in the world in ever-climbing debt, and the entire planet indebted collectively (to whom?)
well said. it's a completely nonsensical situation. it's embarrassingly stupid. and i feel the only way anyone can say it's good is if they willingly ignore or are just simply ignorant of reality and the circumstances humanity is in collectively.
ALLEGEDLY
I got struck by lightning sorry
When I say "connect with nature" I don't just mean the aesthetic forests with deer and beautiful flowers.
I mean the weeds growing through concrete, the fungus that grows on the rotten shed, the nettles that always seem to return and the scary, spindly cellar spider in the corner of the bathroom.
Nature is not always pretty or magical - the pigeons and seagulls you swat at are nature too, the wasps and flies that hover by your meals are animals too, store-bought strawberries and the leaves that fall from your neighbour's tree are not all that different from the Giant Sequoias and it's seeds.
If you want to connect and understand nature, I mean *really* connect to it, in it's entirety, you have to seek out and learn about the ugly, scary and mundane things as well. You don't have to like it, just don't forget that it's there.
The owl didn't see it coming
That hyper-focus on the feather is so adorable
The nazis that you see in movies are as much a historical fantasy as vikings with horned helmets and samurai cutting people in half.
The nazis were not some vague evil that wanted to hurt people for the sake of hurting them. They had specific goals which furthered a far right agenda, and they wanted to do harm to very specific groups, (largely slavs, jews, Romani, queer people, communists/leftists, and disabled people.)
The nazis didn't use soldiers in creepy gas masks as their main imagery that they sold to the german people, they used blond haired blue eyed families. Nor did they stand up on podiums saying that would wage an endless and brutal war, they gave speeches about protecting white Christian society from degenerates just like how conservatives do today.
Nazis weren't atheists or pagans. They were deeply Christian and Christianity was part of their ideology just like it is for modern conservatives. They spoke at lengths about defending their Christian nation from godless leftism. The ones who hated the catholic church hated it for protestant reasons. Nazi occultism was fringe within the party and never expected to become mainstream, and those occultists were still Christian, none of them ever claimed to be Satanists or Asatru.
Nazis were also not queer or disabled. They killed those groups, before they had a chance to kill almost anyone else actually. Despite the amount of disabled nazis or queer/queer coded nazis you'll see in movies and on TV, in reality they were very cishet and very able bodied. There was one high ranking nazi early on who was gay and the other nazis killed him for that. Saying the nazis were gay or disabled makes about as much sense as saying they were Jewish.
The nazis weren't mentally ill. As previously mentioned they hated disabled people, and this unquestionably included anyone neurodivergent. When the surviving nazi war criminals were given psychological tests after the war, they were shown to be some of the most neurotypical people out there.
The nazis weren't socialists. Full stop. They hated socialists. They got elected on hating socialists. They killed socialists. Hating all forms of lefitsm was a big part of their ideology, and especially a big part of how they sold themselves.
The nazis were not the supervillians you see on screen, not because they didn't do horrible things in real life, they most certainly did, but because they weren't that vague apolitical evil that exists for white American action heros to fight. They did horrible things because they had a right wing authoritarian political ideology, an ideology that is fundamentally the same as what most of the modern right wing believes.
How do people not realise this? How is this not common bloody knowledge?
“The CEOs are not taking down their LinkedIns and hiding all their personal information because of the shooting. Anthem did not reverse that anesthesia policy because of the shooting. And the sudden surge of healthcare approvals is not because of the shooting. All of these things are happening because of the public reaction to the shooting.”
Every socialist policy we have was tirelessly fought for by the common people.
Every capitalist policy we have was lobbied for by rich people and enforced by police.
But for some strange reason, people still think socialism is big government tyranny and capitalism is small government freedom.
