#SabiLewSounds, elderly mom & ESA bun are in danger

If you can help in no other way, please at least help raise support, even by simply helping their need to be seen

Their lives endangered by the very #capitalist #colonialism that displaced their #Indigenous ancestors, centuries ago

The same that now provides comfort to some, while #marginalizing others

They're endangered by the color of their skin alone, by #poverty, by #disability, by #xenophobia

@gleick
this is also an example of #capitalist market forces at play in private for profit #prisons (concentration camps or cheap labor pool for bigCorps).

Now #bigCorp will see the profit in having prisons in multiple jurisdictions. Everyone makes a profit, the bigCorp cutting the political players in and we now have #fascism on a global scale with #bigCorp running the world.

no courts, or oversight by anyone.

The death of democracy at a global scale.

#democracy is more than voting.

…it was a mistake to think that even the #Nazis would entirely dispense w/normal #laws.…They had a complex, broadly #capitalist economy to maintain. “A nation of 80M people,”…needs stable rules. The trick was to find a way to keep the #law going for #Christian Germans who supported or…tolerated the Nazis, while ruthlessly executing the #führer’s directives against the state’s enemies, real & perceived. #Capitalism could jog nicely alongside the brutal suppression of #democracy, & even #genocide.

The man…was a Jewish labor lawyer named Ernst Fraenkel.He completed his manuscript…at UC, publishing it as The #DualState, w/the modest subtitle A Contribution to the Theory of #Dictatorship.The book explains how the #Nazi regime managed to keep on track a #capitalist economy governed by stable #laws—& maintain a day-to-day normalcy for many of its citizens—while at the same time establishing a domain of #lawlessness & state #violence in order to realize its terrible vision of #EthnoNationalism.

🎵 Well they call this the land of plenty
And for them I guess it's true
For the rich and mighty capitalists
Not for workers like me and you

Well now what can we do about it
To these men of power and might
Well I'll tell you mister capitalist
We are going to fight! fight! fight! 🎶

Whenever any #capitalist #billionaire, so-called #entrepreneur, gets into #politics and apply their best efforts and style to a Country government, they are always shouted out as #fascists as they begin to apply their capitalist discipline.

Because that is their discipline when governing their corporations. That is why their corporations are successful, because they act as fascists towards emploeeys and suppliers.

Did I say "fascist"? I meant "capitalist". Are they not sinonyms?
I beg your pardon, distinguishing shit is not my specialty.

#SettlerSaturday - because the mess happening in the US isn't new, just a continuance of #colonial #capitalist #fascism present since ships arrived from distant shores

Spilling blood, devouring the world like a pestilence

Turtle Island & Gaza are merely a touch what's been ongoing since at least the days of Rome

Colonized by French, British, Dutch, Scandinavian, Portuguese, Spanish peoples, then the US too

Burning the lands of another, to have the comfy life

#CryptoBros trying to co-opt things is the most #capitalist bullshit ever.

There's nothing that #web3 can't solve, and in effect, it will save you from those evil #tech oligarchs by instead replacing their quick and nimble cloud infrastructure with a slow and cumbersome gambling network that could - in theory - at some point be as effective, as long as everyone has dark fiber, 256GB of memory, 512TB of SSD storage and 8x dGPU's...

Y'know, just be rich - and you too can avoid the #oligarchy...

@yappari

because any #socialmedia with vulture capital #venturecapital behind it will eventually become #twitter

you cannot trust any social media that is not a #nonprofit

because of the governing structure

#threads is Fuckerberg, sorry #Zuckerberg #Meta

and #bluesky is cool, but all it takes is the #crypto bros and #capitalist sleaze funding it to get antsy and it is going to shit with #ads, #spying, and #political manipulation

it's not worth investing your time

“Repeatedly lying & illegally cheating its customers”

There are 4 types of people, those that know that #ElonMusk is crooked & are courageous enough to say so. Those that know Musk is crooked though have apathy about corruption. Those that don't know Musk is crooked, & the Elon Musk crony #capitalist fan club that are all about the #money (There is no honour amongst thieves) #kleptocracy
