If I could, I would rip domination and hierarchy out of the heart of humanity.
I would use all the science, technology, and emotional intelligence we've developed to reforge a healthy and cooperative relationship with the environment.

We see maps with bold arrows, flows converging on borders, telling you that migrants are invaders rather than economic subjects.
These maps don't show wealth extraction, climate impacts, and weapons sales. Showing the former without the latter is a reactionary lie.

I don't know why local police are letting ICE murder the people they're supposed to protect.

If Canada is truly "taking down the sign" and standing on principle, then Carney will block weapons sales to Israel, sanction perpetrators of genocide, stop Canadian mining companies from devastating communities globally, acknowledge harms, apologize, and commit to repair.

I like this move away from unilateral corporate control.
That said, it uses the procedural language of democracy while power remains concentrated in unaccountable corporate hands.
Real democracy distributes power beyond temporary carefully-managed decision-making.

So many people saying they were inspired by Carneys speech yesterday.
Inspired to do what, exactly?
He essentially said "this system was fine when we were friends with the bully, but now we're getting bullied so we have to change it!"

I want to see a True Cost Adjustment. This is a fee paid by manufacturers at the point of obligation based on a total lifecycle analysis of the product's cost to the environment and society.

I have a friend who served in the military their entire life, along with their partner. Their partner died from cancer, quite young, leaving them to solo raise their child.
They must know, deep down, their partner got cancer from those burn pits in Afghanistan.

What does BadEmpanada want us to actually DO?
OK so Mamdani is sympathetic to Zionists; Majority Report does American exceptionalism; Hasan Piker isn't sufficiently cynical; The labor aristocracy is complacent.
What are we supposed to DO about these things?

It sucks when you realize there's no global conspiracy, no mass coordination, just historically-contingent systems designed to put profit over humanity.
There's no easy fix. We have to keep throwing our weight against the door.

Bank won't let me block future pre-authorized payments to predatory business. I have to dispute every debit individually.
What kind of bullshit world do I live in where someone's allowed to dip their hand in my pocket every month and I can't stop them? I want to throw bricks, this is infuriating.

Buying a used car and I'm curious so I learn all about the industry. And holy fuck what a scam.
In Ontario, dealers are regulated by OMVIC, which is essentially a trade association literally led by industry reps.

Every time I start thinking about True Cost Adjustment (lifecycle tax, extended producer responsibility, etc) I go down a rabbit hole of how to fix everything about the world.
We're subsidizing our own decline.
