butterfliesinmybrain @secondskeleton.bsky.social · 07/01/2025IPOs from PE/VC are basically always just a formal offloading of dogshit assets onto (unsuspecting) retail investors. and SPACs are the ultimate red flag that the purported value at IPO will dissolve into thin air thereafter (not really dissolve, but transfer directly, from your account to theirs) 100

![quote from ch 2 of noam chomsky 'understanding power':
Or just take this phrase "peace process," which we hear all the time. The
phrase "peace process" has a dictionary meaning, it means "process leading to peace. " But that's not the way it's used in the media. The term "peace process" is used in the media to refer to whatever the United States happens to be doing at the moment-and again, that is without exception. So it turns out that the United States is always supporting the peace process, by definition. Just try to find a phrase in the U.S. media somewhere, anywhere, saying that the United States is opposing the peace process: you can't do it.
...[Someone] took the New York Times computer database from 1980 (when it begins) up to the present, and pulled out every article that had the words" peace process" in it. There were like nine hundred articles or something, and he checked through each of them to see if there was any case in which the United States was opposing the peace process. And there wasn't, it was 100 percent. Well, you know, even the most august country in history, let's say by accident sometime, might not be supporting the peace process. But in the case of the United States, that just can't happen.
And this is a particularly striking illustration, because during the 1980s the United States was the main factor in blocking two major international peace processes, one in Central America and one in the Middle East. But just try to find that simple, obvious fact stated anywhere in the mainstream media. You can't. And you can't because it's a logical contradiction-you don't even have to do any grubby work with the data and the documents to prove it, it's just proven by the meaning of the words themselves. It's like finding a married bachelor or something- you don't have to do any research to show there aren't any. You can't have the United States opposing the peace process, because the peace process is what the United States is doing, by definition.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rptx53sgce733qb5uoxqcta5/bafkreiccja2tq4fclgyxqook3upp5axzb2brjlgpm2ic46trzhyx33ecdu)
