Dear @ciaraCnugent, @TIME, 3-4 billion non-contributing #bullshitjobs are wasting most of our resources, energy and fossil fuels. Causing #climatechange, pandemics and "inflation". Please address root causes.

... this is not a quirky startup with a niche audience, but unregulated and lethal financial software that functions only to take money from retail investors and send it upwards. Every time the media has humored these concepts as cute, or early, or acted as if the scams are “rare” and the majority of the industry operates in good faith, they have been complicit in creating meaningful financial harm to millions of people.

The criticism isn't "Soros is Jewish." I'm sure some incorrectly focus on that, but the criticism here is "Soros, an individual, not a group of people, spends heaps of money (and has since the cold war) to lie about communism. He's the most prolific individual in that activity." https://twitter.com/blimp_juice/status/1552660327325728770

@Femi_Sorry @DootDootDoot29 @Labour4PR The Labour right wants us to believe the only choice is between Tories or fractionally-but not-meaningfully-better-than-Tories.
Maybe at the next election that will be true, but if we don't reject that choice we'll never get to anything better. That's what the Right taught us.

Because people like you refused to support Jeremy Corbyn in order to protect the corrupt neoliberal status quo.
