@necrospaia I don't think I've ever gotten a satisfactory answer from capitalist stooges when I say scarcity is a lie used to keep us afraid of change and there's more than enough for everybody to live a decent, happy fulfilled life.

Weird

I've just seen all sorts of posts about the autonomy of the Ukrainian people and how "we" should respect it, by not using phrases like "fight to the last Ukranian".

Where were you in 2014 when then VP Biden spent $5bn overthrowing the democratically elected government?

They need to bring back the death penalty for companies. How can you run a company the way they are running PG&E and we just accept it. They just sit on top of infrastructure that was built a century ago, let it rot, fire all the workers and pay all the income they get out as dividends and the state just lets them do it.

This country is toast. Seriously. No one with any decision-making ability has any plans beyond six months ahead.

If only media organisations gave as much space to survivors of sexual violence as they do to this one woman who has been sent to prison for false rape claims today. Around 85,000 women a year in the UK experience sexual assault. That's nearly 10 every hour.

A reminder to non-Americans: assigning Pi Day to 22nd July is not only more accurate than 3.14 (22/7 is 3.14285), it's also more likely to annoy Americans.

The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.”

Big companies enjoy bigger profits, but working people bear the costs.

I was a drug abuser from the age of twelve when I started with solvents, until seven years ago.
I used every sort of drug imaginable during that period.
I never once scored drugs of an asylum seeker.
Suella Braverman is telling lies comparable to Trump to dehumanise refugees.

Ok folks, this meeting is on 21st March at 7.00 pm via zoom.

Eventbrite has been amended to suit.

You resisted nowt!

Thread - a very important one, given the nonsense people have been spouting recently. Fascism is capitalism's last gasp, trying to protect itself.

There's much about that is largely hidden from us in Britain.

ideas prospered politically only when perceived economic threats increased their appeal to members of certain social groups.
