Rich people control the media so they control the narrative.
We have to stop letting rich people tell us that the only metric to measure a country’s success is the stock market.

The ultra wealthy have spent decades muddying the waters of class consciousness and instead have turned us into consumers.
Our worth to society is not measured in value added, but value consumed.
Those who cannot consume are considered worthless.
We need to fight back. Take what is ours.

If you had told me 5 years ago that AI, machine learning and facial recognition would be used by the government to track and spy on its citizens I would have told you ‘No shit.’

"The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scar-city, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich. Consequently, the modern poor are not pitied... but written off as trash.”

I hope this shit show in America makes people realize that Trump and other politicians are just pawns in a chess game played entirely by the ultra wealthy.
The game is rigged against us. The only way to win is to quit playing.

A MAGA person who included a statement about people blocking them for educating about Trump has blocked me instead. How the tables have turned.

Marx warned us about this.
These are the oligarchs who seek to rule every aspect of our lives, and the current US regime is doing everything possible to facilitate that because it is owned by them.

Please read if you'd like. Homelessness is not inevitable, it is manufactured. The capitalist class created a system that keeps workers on the brink of losing everything to keep them from fighting back.

Are centrists comparing generic late stage capitalism with a global child sex trafficking ring? The 'both sides bad' folks are losing it.
No one was charged or went to prison during the Obama administration with the financial housing collapse and speculator investors and the Trump administration seems like they don't want to send anyone to prison over the Epstein files. Both administrations are very swampy. So what was the change?

Absolutely wild for a South African immigrant to neglect to mention the literal SLAVE workforce that built America and continue to contribute to American culture daily.
More white nationalism from the guy we’re letting poison Memphis and drill a hole in Nashville

Slavery has always been legal in the US thanks to the punitive exception in the 13th amendment. Makes you wonder why DHS is building/buying so many warehouses.
I’m reading this book about slavery, how they separated families. And just knowing that Trump reveled in that during his first term and then he was re-elected makes me sick. We just keep going back to the same places as a nation
