With capitalism (and later with bureaucracy), this process has been called “alienation”

Completely ignoring how absolutely pathetic this is, it sure does feel like every "feature" these soulless husks describe is basically just "talk to me in a different font"

On this day 26 years ago I was a child watching another Palestinian child on tv, about my age, hide behind his dad & then get killed, because the soldiers shooting didnt value his life at all. His name was Mohammad al-Durra. 26 years later, the lives of Palestinian children matter even less.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Waiting for Burnham to say "We appreciate that some people may wish to slash at RNLI boats with what appears to be an illegal bladed article while shouting abuse and we hear their concerns". Take one step towards fascists, they take three steps back & say 'meet me halfway'. No pasáran.

We—all of us—must act to protect RNLI volunteers and all people in peril at sea from these fascists; the state has refused to protect the helpless and heroes, so we must follow our moral duty and protect and defend them from this monstrous violence

If you don't understand what's important about studying language, or power, or history, or politics...I really don't care how what theorems you've proven or how big a bridge you can build, anything you do to help humanity is an accident.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

Having had to transition from a "brain hurts at the end of the day" job to a "body hurts at the end of the day" job, let me tell you that whatever job you do, it sucks to be alienated from your human thriving by the demands of capital upon your fragile form.

This is going to be looked back on as one of the stupidest periods of human history. People will simply not understand why it played out the way it did given how obvious every single thing happening was. And the answer is just: everyone involved was either stupid, easily bought, or both.

Incredible. “When we were being stolen from our parents and experienced genocide in Indian Residential Schools, we wondered, ‘Who are the people that will help us?’ Today, we are those people. Today we offer our help, support, and jurisdiction to override these dehumanizing laws.”

british society is being ripped apart by a shocking rise of ORGANISED + WELL-FUNDED right-wing racist violence and the media's response "well, it's understandable, isn't it? they have a point, don't they?". when they burn down the homes of immigrants the rest of the country will catch fire

Also, the same stadiums that are banning Macklemore are happy to host actual Neo-Nazis like Kanye West who just recently released a song praising Hitler. They support the Nazi GOP. This isn’t about antisemitism.

Polls are now OPEN in the Southside/Newington and Portobello-Craigmillar by-elections. 🌟 The @scottishgreens won the largest amount of votes for any party in Edinburgh during the Holyrood election. 🫵 That means that with your first preference vote, we can win in both wards.
Polls are open 7am–10pm for Southside/Newington and Portobello/Craigmillar by-elections.  Below is a ballot paper for the Scottish Green Party ranked with the first preference vote.

The data from New York shows that if you raise taxes or bring in a wealth tax the rich don’t leave. They stay and try and commit tax evasion, and if you make that too difficult they stay and pay and more people want to live and work there.

Borges once described an astrolabe of such brilliantly ingenious design that any astronomer sent to use it would instead be consumed with obsession over examining the astrolabe's construction, so it was useless for examining the world, and the sultan ordered it thrown into the sea.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

points at sign: THE GAMES INDUSTRY’S CUSTOMER IS THE STOCK MARKET, NOT THE GAMER Live service games are seen as ‘worth the risk’ because when one blows up (Roblox, Fortnite, GTA Online) it makes so much money that it covers all previous failures and more. What gamers say is irrelevant to this.

One thing people forget is that the exorbitant privilege of the US dollar combined with military power, institutional power, and direct political influence means there is no other entity that can project the same power as the US. That's why when people say the US isn't uniquely bad, they're wrong.
